They WANTED to & brought a goalpost up into the upper deck, but security kept them from tossing it over. A couple of other sections of goalpost did make it into the parking lot, but not after being tossed over the stadium. They would've killed someone filing out of the stadium if they had. The fans carried the goalpost up to Ralph's box and presented it to him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone who follows football is unaware how moronic Bills fans are. This Bills Mafia thing is nothing short of pathetic.

BillsPride12 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The goalposts came down in 80, 88, and 91....it seems like some don't realize it happened on 3 separate occasions 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Curt Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) I read the entire article. It upset me when the facts of the Branch Davidians were false. The article states that the government set the compound on fire, but it was David Coresh who killed his own people because he didn't want to be taken alive. I can't take this article seriously because of the political agenda it's trying to push. If a person allows a football team to contribute to the murders of 168 men, women and children, than that person has major issues. The Bills winning a Super Bowl wouldn't have prevented that. It's like him saying the Bills lost so I'm about to blow up a daycare center. I don't buy that logic.

Bob Chandler's Hands Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 People who knew McVeigh in High School (whom I know well) tell me that he fundamentally changed after serving in the military. I tend to think his experiences there, you know, killing people and trying not to get killed, may have influenced his psyche more than the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One section of goalpost may have ended up there. Another section ended up at the top of the upper deck. The drunks that carried it up there were shouting at the people leaving the stadium to get them to move back so they could throw it over into the concourse. Security took that section from them and there it lay 3 rows from the top of the stadium until well after everybody had filed out of Rich. Ironically, the replacement goal posts were made by a Miami-based comoany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So, what you're saying is that the dude in Jacksonville doesn't have the high score, and Tim McVeigh really does? I can accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 McVeigh snapped at some point, I just don’t buy the Bills losses contributed in any significant way to his turn. I’m sure losing a grand wasn’t fun, but there were many other issues in his life that made him change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is (sometimes) changed in one way or another for life. I am not aware of anyone I served with ever turning into a political mass murdering arsewipe. . And becoming a domestic terrorist. While it's plausible that being in the military caused at least PTSD. I don't buy that theory for a second. Oddly, IIRC neither did he. that POS doesn't deserve to be analyzed anymore than he has been. Any comments on him. Mine included, are a complete waste of bandwidth. That article sucks.

Taro T Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 34 minutes ago, BUFFALOBART said: I saw a large section of goalpost thrown over the edge of the stadium with my own eyes. The end of the 1990 season. Not exactly sure if it was the season finale, or a playoff game. I also remember a large swatch of Astroturf being cut from the field after the '90 AFC Championship game. There will always be morons at sporting events, I guess... You think that manure is 'interesting'? TROLL. As mentioned in an earlier post, my recollection was of the '80 opener, not the playoff game in '90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
