Fadingpain Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 "Lee has requested six Buffalo Bills players as pall bearers so they can let him down one last time." That's fantastic, even if he is not the original author of this line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 My character and resiliency is as strong as oak thanks to getting let down most of my life by the Buffalo Bills I really appreciate how they got me used to heartbreak at a young age... good lesson to learn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP I thought it was also a part of the classic Steve Goodman song "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request," who sadly died at age 36, 14 days before he was scheduled to sing the National Anthem at the Cubs first playoff game (or luckily since they were dispatched of pretty quickly in the playoffs). However, my memory was off, but it still has much of the similar sentiment and style of humor.... Edited October 10, 2018 by thurst44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 By the time they win a Super Bowl, I'll probably be taking a dirt nap or sitting in a nursing home drooling and watching squirrels out the window for amusement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Bills related, but I've never understood why people take such painstaking measures planning the final resting place for their corpse.

Chandler#81 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 At least he saw 2 AFL Championships and 8 League/Conference Championship games. So many current -and understandably jaded Bills fans don’t recognize how important the Bills were in getting the NFL to adopt & merge the 2 Leagues. Numerous Leagues have sprung up since Halas & Co. formed the NFL, but none were admitted wholly into the League except the AFL. Yes, the SB Jets & Chiefs we’re huge accomplishments, but the merger was already in place thanks in large part to how the Bills played Defense in the mid-60’s. It mirrored the best the NFL was doing while showcasing fantastic offenses. RIP, Mr. Merkel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
