TroutDog Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Personally, I think it’s awesome, eball. It’s a reminder to us all that it’s just entertainment. Great to be passionate about it but shouldn’t rule our lives or friendships. Good on ‘ya. It will be fun...and the Bills are the better team so let’s hope that the better team wins! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBill Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I don’t know any Patriot fans over here. Which is good. When we were over for the game against them last year my son and I were sat next to a group of them at 716 sports bar down town. They were great with my son who was wearing his Bills cap. We had a good chat about the game and we all wised each other the best. They were good guys. Inside the stadium we had a family of them behind us and they spent the entire game looking at the phones. After the game we were waiting for an Uber at the college and we witnessed one being obnoxiously aggressive towards Bills fans. It was mainly families around so people were on the whole ignoring him. My son whispered to me “if this had been at City (my soccer team) he’d have been filled in by now wouldn’t he Dad?”. I did chuckle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Matt Milano plays, point out at every opportunity that he should be cheering for the Bills because MILANO! Tell him he owes it to Baldwin the Eagle to cheer very loudly for MILANO!!!! to make plays. And furthermore MILANO!!!! How can he possibly cheer against a fellow Boston College alum? Rub it up good.

I guarantee he has cheated you in cards, darts or pool. Its ingrained in their DNA. He probably never gives you money for gas when you drive or buys the 1st round of beers, why would you put yourself though hell like that. All Patriot fans are like little Edelman clones, at least all the ones in Chicago are. That Boston accent makes me want to bury my head into sand or set M80's off 3ft from my ears.

Learned to play from a CPO in the Coast Guard. I try to learn from him but I'm relatively hopeless. Nah, it's like this. If you can have a convo with a Pats fan over 50 about Tony Eason vs Steve Grogan as QB and Eason's performance in Superbowl XX (or similar) they've been a genuine Pats fan for the Long Haul. They are your brother-under-the-skin. They have suffered as you, a Bills fan, have suffered. They understand Fan Pain. They predate the turn-of-the-century "Ruthless Pursuit of a Competitive Advantage" Patriots culture and the arrogant, entitled fans who take every-year success as their rightful due and B word when they don't get a Superbowl appearance. If, on the other hand, you ask a Pats fan to name a Pats QB prior to Drew Bledsoe and get a blank stare, everything you say may be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 EBaller you oughta take a piece of paper and put a line down the middle, put Bills on one side and Pats on the other. I think we've beaten them 5 times to their 35 wins over us in the past 20 years. So mark up 5 for the Bills and 35 for the Pats. Maybe use different markers and pens so it looks like you've actually been keeping a running tally over the years. After we win, when the time is right, just casually pull the paper out from under the couch and chalk up one for the B-Lo. Obviously make sure he sees you do it, but pretend like it's just for you. Then put it back under the couch. Of course you could always do it the way Steve does it and post it on the wall, then bust out the lipstick and lay back on the couch.....
