Random Bills and what you remember them for


Recommended Posts

Kent Hull- besides being a great center, seemed like a super awesome guy as well.  I remember posting a video of him talking to kids with cancer.

 

Kelso- the helmet

 

Jeff Tuel- I still remember in his first pre season game against the Colts her tore it up.  Why I never put too much stock in pre seasons games.  Plus everyone who wanted to see him as QB would always say Tuel Time!  Reminded me of one of my fave shows as a kid

Taken from Buffalobills.com:

 

Everyone remembers Dolphins LB Bryan Cox’s famous double barrel salute to Bills fans in Orchard Park before a Bills-Dolphins game in 1995 as well as his spitting in the direction of fans who were heckling him. What many don’t remember is after Cox and Bills’ FB Carwell Gardner were both ejected for fighting during the game, there was almost a round two in the tunnel between the two locker rooms.

 

Gardner tried repeatedly to get in the Dolphins locker room to fight Cox again and even hung around long enough after the game trying to bait Cox to come off the Miami team bus to fight him a second time. Cox did not oblige.

 

Cox was fined a total of $17,500 by the league, the largest NFL fine of the 1995 season. Gardner incurred a total of $15,000 in fines. The Bills won the game 23-20.

 

 

That is awesome.  I would always want Carwell on my team

Reuben Brown, gave me his autograph and got Kelly and Fina to sign too. I was just a 7 year old white kid and he took care of me, will always be grateful for that.

 

Travis Henry, remember hearing his helmet crack into defenders all the way through the TV screen, he's my favorite RB in Bills history, I understand he wasn't the greatest but I just felt he had an admirable style.

 

Schobel was a guy that would have been a HOFer anywhere else, he had a non stop motor and could really bend and get low off that edge.

I remember I met Cyrus Kouandjio a few years back and he was embarrassed to say he was a Bill lol

 

I walked up to him and we started talking football and I told him I knew he was on the Bills and good luck with the season... he giggled and told me he was a ballerina

 

i was like the biggest 6-5 330 lb ballerina ever lmao

 

Know we know why he "flamed" out.

He played before my time, but I actually met him after a Bills game. Really good guy.

Cool!  I do remember that haircut style.  The surf cut used to be popular too but went out of style

 

i know the 1990-1991 Pro Set cards don't have much monetary value but seeing them like in your post always makes me smile.  It's how I used to learn about the players

Two guys come to mind

 

 

1) Ricky "squeaky" Porter..  PLayed for the Bills in 87 Running back from Slippery Rock, my Alma  Mater. Had met Ricky a few times, he had a decent game against the Jets that year. Between him, Robb Riddick, Andre Reed..Bills were crushing getting guys from the PAC ( Pennsylvania Athletic Conference) . Haslett played in the PAC too!

 

2) Isiah Robertson. Little personal, but he dated my sister for a little while. Was always proud my parents had no issue with a black man dating their daughter, was a different time and era. Brother and I  were thrilled our sister was dating a Bill, could have been purple for we cared.

Robert Royal- Was good for a good play, bad play, and a penalty a game

 

And the worst TD celebration I've ever seen.

Shocked to see that hardly anybody else mentioned Chris Watson. I think they were playing Denver..? and the dude just kept getting beat, over and over again. 

 

Shout out to Brian Moormon...the leader of the drought. When the punter is your best player...

 

Watson was Phillips targeted FA when he joined the Bills.  I was expecting big things out of him.

He might be the worst starting defensive back I've seen with the Bills.  I think he started as a our nickel corner.  Man was he bad.

Kawicka Mitchell because of the hair.

 

i have a quick mitchell story.  apparently the dude was a little odd.  some of the sabres guys were hanging out in their condo, and for whatever reason, mitchell was there.  some of the guy's girlfriends were there, hanging out in another room.  at one point, kawika got up, went into the room, and locked the door behind him.  he was playing around, but it got uncomfortable when some of the girls wanted to leave, and he wouldn't unlock the door.  it got to the point where the guys couldn't get him out, and they started to think they had to break the door down and deal with him.  he eventually unlocked the door, was kicked out, and nothing bad happened.  

 

it's a nothing story that i was told second hand, but it's all i got.

Magnificent story Teef.  Please send it to the Readers Digest as I'm sure the audience will just eat this up.

Dust off a spot on your shelf next to your  "Best Story Teller" trophy you won in high school c/o 1997 and make room for the Pulitzer.

I think Benicio Del Toro would be a good fit to play Mitchell.  Add muscle, grow the hair out and boom!  He will kill it.

For you....maybe Bryan Cranston?  I mean he did play Tim Watley.

I would want to be in the movie....I think Idris Alba could play me.  I don't look anything like him, including skin color but I think it would be cool.  Throw the audience a little off....ya dig?

Nickname:

 

"The cockblockers"

 

 

Better nickname: "The Erection Company"

 

My random Bill selection is Kendrick Office.

 

Somehow, someway, the guy got 2 sacks of Tom Brady in his only start in 2001.  He was an absolutely horrendous football player.

He was awesome.  I remember he drilled someone on the Chefs (I think it was in a playoff game) and got up and taunted the guy by doing a mock tomahawk chop.

Ray Bentley and the Darby the Dinosaur Books I was a kid and of course had one.

Also Thomas Smith. Because his jersey said T. Smith and I didn't know what the T stood for we called him Teriyaki because that's what we had for dinner. Wasn't like we could just google it at the time.

 

\

Ray Bentley is awesome!  I had all the Darby books and taught my kids to read using them to this day.

 

I mean...look at that mullet!

Jerry Ostroski.

 

Former Olineman for our Bills. When I was a kid, my dad and I were in Oklahoma at a small BBQ restaurant and saw a large guy wearing a Bills cap, so we of course said "GO BILLS" and the guy was kind of taken aback, and then said "Hi, I'm Jerry Ostroski, I PLAY for the buffalo bills". We took a photo together and he signed our check lol.


Nice guy, and a MOUNTAIN of a man. I bet that BBQ joint loved having him there, his tab probably paid for their electricity bill that month!

Ed Wang because he was I believe the first Chinese player in the NFL.

 

When he was here, we had Wang, Wood and Levitre on the line.  Pretty awesome puns.

The only guy Maybin ever beat.

Actually if you remember Maybins first game against us with the Jets, we our starting LT (I think Bell?) and his back up.  Levitre was forced to move to LT that game.

Maybin beat him for a sack.  

Ack-chew-all-lee, I do remember each of Maybin's 6 career sacks.   A thread was started here to commemorate each one.

 

Maybin abused Wang in his first training camp leading many of us to believe he was looking good.  Then the regular season started and Maybin didn't leave the bench vs Miami.  Jauron said its because it was too hot out.  Man, that guy could f@#$ing coach!!

I guess Maybin doesn't have sweat glands or something?

"When it's too tough for them ... ummmm ... well, I guess it's too tough for everyone. Postpone the game."
