Like A Mofo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 For those Bills fans who were able to attend the Super Bowl live in the 1990's, consider yourself lucky even though we lost. Very few of us will be able to attend when we make it again. That's why I hope the Bills win it soon so I can kiss the sport goodbye and take my $ with it. And also, enjoy these special moments at New Era, once the new stadium come in, and everything becomes ultra corporate, most of you will long for the fire burning table smashing days.

My best friend(who is a die hard Yankee Fan) & I decided to take the drive down from Blo to watch that doubleheader. If you remember, it was a day/night doubleheader, the afternoon game at Shea & the night game at Yankee. We didn't have tickets for either game but thought how hard would it be to scalp them. We get to Shea & couldn't find a scalper anywhere. Totally shut out. So we go back to Times Square & watch the game from a TGIF. So we take the trek to Yankee, mind you drinking all afternoon & find a scalper with a pair of tickets down the third base line. I think we payed like $110 each for them. Still drinking during the game this happens & I am livid. My friend knew it too. Now the Yankees sweep the Mets & I am hot getting on the subway. My friend tries to justify Clemens actions & we start throwing right in the subway. I ended up with a black eye & he ended up with a split lip. Three guys on the Subway had to break it up. We laughed about on the ride home, but at the time I wanted to kill him, I actually wanted to kill Clemens. I didn't think I could hate Clemens more until he threw the broken bat at Piazza in the WS. I wish Lennie Harris would of charged the mound and taught steroid boy a lesson. Harris was bad ass in his earlier days & said the biggest regret he ever had is not chagrining the mound when this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always reserve a hotel in Buffalo from the Saturday night before the game through Wednesday just in case the Bills make it and the Parade is on Wednesday! And to your first sentence, the Super Bowl is not really a football game in the traditional sense, and it is unlike any other sporting event I have ever been to. Trust me, you have the right idea going to Buffalo, i would never even consider going to the game unless it was all expenses paid, and even then think i would rather be in Buffalo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
