ndirish1978 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I appreciate that our first thread ever involves simultaneously complaining about signing Flutie and lamenting the fact that we won't have a chance to draft Ryan Leaf, lol. 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what drove me to check the wayback machine, but when I saw the date I nearly lost it. I take that back. It was this line that made me go look: "Discussing the Buffalo Bills and the NFL 24 hours a day since 1998!"

Rubes Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Wow, that's some serious time. Hard to believe I've wasted spent two decades of my life here.

MTBill Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I guess I remember Hyperbills.... I also remember alt.sports.football.pro.buffalo-bills... Found a post I made there in '96 on Google Groups... But I know I posted there during the run - I suspect those years are lost to the vacuum of lost bits/bytes. The earliest posts I could find were '94... but I remember talking about the Comeback on that list. A lot of names on the old Usenet - seem to have shown up at TSW at one point or another...
