Livinginthepast Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Wow this post is awesome!! Totally takes me back to the old internet of the 90s!! I was on the Alt. Bills usenet group for a while, I think until Outlook eventually stopped using a newsreader?? Seems so archaic now! AS for the first post? Trading up for Ryan Leaf!!!! LOL I forgot what a highly touted prospect he was before the draft. He was cant miss. Flutie was signed just before the launch of TBD? I can actually remember that brief honeymoon where it was just Flutie? Am I remembering that right? Johnson arrived through trade in February and the circus began. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!!

Ol Dirty B Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Wow that is funny to read. Funny how little things have changed. People burying a QB others not being down on Todd Collins. I thought everyone just agreed he sucked... I was very young when he started but I got the vibe everyone thought he sucked. Did he really have backers back in the day?

Livinginthepast Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) This post got me thinking back to the days before TBD and the usenet Bills newsgroup. I think that was my first experience with the concept of a Troll. I can remember a couple of the early Patriot trolls called "Man in CT" and " Pats wicked pissah" that would wind up Bills fans back then. Hell there are so many Pats trolls in here now that they are probably still on here!! Edited January 23, 2018 by Livinginthepast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad got the internet at his office and it was a big deal so he picked me up one day after school and we headed over to where he worked and fired up netscape navigator and his 14.4 connection. A mere 15 minutes later I was able to see a very grainy picture of Thurman Thomas. Edited January 23, 2018 by ndirish1978 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
