He is in his minor league Rochester Red Wings uniform. It's in really nice shape. PM me and I'll send it to you. We played lot's of backyard football growing up since my high school team didn't have football until my sophomore year. Anything from 5 on 5 to 15 on 15. It was madness. I was called 'Brew' for Larry Kinnebrew. At 5'9 240 pounds I had nice hands, wasn't fast, but was very hard to tackle. Whatever FB Buffalo had was my nickname du jour. Mueller, Gardner and Brew, but 'Brew' stuck. It apparently was kizmit since I now have a Tom Brady beer belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, I was always taught to call my elders "Mr/Mrs whatever their name is" out of respect. Why do these rules go out the window when talking to athletes and celebrities? I've talked to a lot of 40 and 50 year olds, who will say "Mr/Mrs (so and so) is my father/mother. And then ask that you call them by their first name. I suppose what's respectful is contingent of what the person wants.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnycage46 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I grew up in Maine and had a buddy who was a big Bruins fan and would always randomly yell "kick save Moooggg" even when he wasn't doing something relating to kick saving, or kicking, or even saving.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 When I played, my nickname was Tatum after Jack Tatum. My DB coach called it out after I consistently laid down the wood on receivers who tried to cross the middle. Back in the day, they let us hit anything that came in our path. 7 hours ago, Blokestradamus said: I spent so much time as a kid pretending that I was Roberto Carlos. soccer? in Buffalo?

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Was play boxing with some of my cousins friends down in Texas one day. About a month or two after I moved down here. I yelled "I'm Rob Ray!" forgetting that I was in Texas where they don't watch hockey. Everybody just got confused, and to this day, those friends call me and have me saved in their phone as Rob Ray.

buffaloboyinATL Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If our rookie QB turns out to be the real deal, I may yell out “Josh Allen” some day at a climactic moment. Mrs. Buffaloboy will not be pleased... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many kids bit their tongues off doing this back in the day? Many I'm sure.
