Children's Hospital is a gem in the Buffalo  area. If it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't be here today.

 In 1961, when I was 4, I stuttered a lot.  My parents took me to the stuttering clinic at Chldren's.  Being the first time there, they gave me a physical and found that my BP was that of an adult.   Bunch of tests narrowed the cause down to  a congenital constricted blood vessel or  malformed kidney.  First operation to repair it  didn't work and went back in a few months later and had my kidney removed.  Remember the whole thing.  BP was then back to normal. Docs told my parents just don't let me play sports where i could be hit in the kidney (football, hockey and high diving). The doctors that operated on me eventually became the heads of Urology at Walter Reed, and UB Med School.

I can’t tell.  Did Josh or a young patient at the hospital draw that?

 

LOL!  Yeah, his sketch of the Bills logo would fit right in!

Young patient.  I think they have some stuff on their twitter feed.

 

One of my favorite Josh Allen vingettes is a clip where he's signing stuff, and a young fan offers him an obviously child-drawn drawing.  The kid says something inaudible and Josh says "You want me to keep it?  Well then, will you sign it for me?" (I assume he found something else to sign for the kid).  It just came across so genuine and natural.

Sunday games at my house in Quail Lake. No Bills Backers here until Covid ends. Actual Buffalo Wings and beers 🍻 

Thanks for the offer. Im out on north fowler by behymer. I usually watch on the ticket at home, but there's a bar near me where I've heard tye owner is from Buffalo. Its not a billsbacker bar, but he puts the game on for bills fans when they go. Place is called neighbors

Oh yeah I know that place. Let’s see what we can do post Covid to set that up.

Can’t believe that the national (football and otherwise) press has been so slow on the uptake here...for example ESPN still running the “over $34K” number...

 

This is the most recent I’ve found this afternoon, and it’s nice, but please will “someone who tweets” please inform this writer for CBS that Josh didn’t throw for “over 300 yards on Sunday”...?!  And include some of the aforementioned (here somewhere) stats on just how rare his two 400+ yard/3 TD passes/0 INT games in one season really are?!  And, by obvious inference, how amazing his performance was, especially given the circumstances? Thank you in advance...!

 

Also, have to mention that I’m surprised that we’re not well past the “done” posts in this thread.  I wanna’ hear how many other folks you’ve turned on to this steamroller...it only takes 59 more x $17 to = $1K!!

Also (again), when I gave my $17 pittance yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice that on the Oishoi site, they made mention of “our 3 year birthday”.  Due to my lengthy (physical) absence from WNY, I wasn’t aware of their new building, etc.  It was cause for me to look up some stuff; I learned a lot about our fair town’s history of caring by great women, and a notable man, too!
