Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 After so many years of getting burned by the Bills, I mostly watch the game in a vegetated state, showing almost no emotion. I almost never cheer, because I am so worried about the late flag flying in to negate a big play. At most, I wait a full 10 seconds almost after a play, and then do a subdued arm raise or mimed McDermott clap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Two Bills related injuries. First was when I was in Buffalo. Near the end of Oct., and my mother told me I had to get the "storm windows" cleaned on that Sunday so they could be installed the next day. Tried to do it at halftime of the normal Van Miller radio call of a home game. Rushing, I accidently put my knee through the bottom panel of one of them. Bleeding like crazy, spent the second half in the Mercy Hospital emergency room getting a few stitches. Fast forward many years. Super Bowl 28 against the Cowboys. Sitting on my couch, Nate Odoms gets the pick. I slam my right hand against the couch, screaming "go" during his return. There was a price of wood trim on the couch that I hit. Hurt, but didn't think it was that much. Next night, I'm playing basketball with a bunch of church friends. Came off a screen and took the pass for the guaranteed jumper bucket in that same right hand. Felt like an electrical charge went through my hand. Serious pain. Got it X-rayed the next day and I had fractured a bone in the right hand cheering Nate on. Thankfully, nothing since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roch Jim Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have not broken anything, but my 4 grown children love to tell people that they learned all their best curse words watching Bills games with me as children. To this day, when I try to call hem on foul language, they revert to this story, and don't leave me with a leg to stand on. I have tried very hard to be a better example for the granddaughter.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I remember when the Bills lost to the Jags on the last play of the game in 2004-- I gave this loud yell. It woke up my newborn (as in days old) nephew, and I got a lot of dirty looks. That may have been my last outburst. I will say that my body moves all over the place when the Bills play (sort of how novice videogame players move around when they play), and so, I have knocked numerous beverages and food items over, by kicking them off the coffee tables and ottomans inadvertently. That is a real headache-- because you are watching the play/game, while then scrambling to clean up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Madness Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 When watching football I max out at yelling profanities. However, I recently was experience interference in Bluetooth and wireless USB signals that I had been unable to pinpoint and I lost my shat and repeatedly smashed my keyboard on my desk 4-5 times. Keys went flying everywhere. Honestly, it felt a bit therapeutic. Good thing I use the same $30 keyboard/mouse combo. Went and bought a new set at Office Depot and continued to troubleshoot. After cleaning up the mess of course... I think the difference to me is that I cannot control what the Bills or their opponents do, but I should be able to control my own ability to troubleshoot a PC issue, so it bothered me more. Logitech K360 in case anyone was interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I've come really close a few times to putting my hand through a florescent light tube right over my chair. How it didn't break when I hit it is very surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalonian Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 At the end of the Tennessee illegal forward-lateral playoff game. I kicked what I thought was a bag of garbage in my Queens apartment. Unbeknownst to me, it was actually filled with empty beer bottles, which broke through the bag and went sliding at a high velocity down a long hallway (wood floors) and into the feet of my roommate, who was working at his desk. When he looked at me incredulously, I yelled at him for not understanding. Then I stormed out of the apartment and wandered into a random bar on Ditmars blvd, where three downtrodden looking guys wearing Bills jerseys were sitting at the end of the bar . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's arms, legs and head are velcroed on. So...if something bad happens in a game, I rip off a limb and toss it across the room. They get restored if the Bills do something good to recover. I hang onto it...especially in close games. I also have a rubberized/nerf "Bad Call Brick" that I throw when the refs get involved. That has gotten a lot of use this year!

Simon Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 There's probably some sort of weird psychology involved (whaddya think Hammersticks?) but I only tend to be destructive when I'm celebrating. A couple examples: > When we took that late lead right before the Music City Miracle I grabbed a 'puter chair and fired it so hard that it cartwheeled at least 30', out of the living room, all the way through the dining room and still flew into the kitchen moving so fast that it put a big dent in the fridge. > When Jim Kelly dove over the goalline on the last play of the game on that uncalled QB draw to beat the Dolphins I ran out of the living room onto the deck, right through a sliding screen door that ended up totally mangled. > On the Mayday goal I flipped a coffee table hard enough that one of the empty beer cans on it flew up and broke a bulb in the light fixture on the ceiling. The only time I can recall ever breaking anything in anger is tearing a remote in half once, at which point I was instantly madder at myself than at the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I’ve had 2 small Bills footballs for over 20 years. One is really soft like a marshmallow and can be launched at the tv, dog, my kid, etc with zero impact. That one gets a lot of use. The other has some mechanism in it that when dropped, it plays the Shout song, or has Van Miller yelling “Touchdown Bills!” I have no idea how this thing keeps going, but it does!

chris heff Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) I’ve never broken anything over a Bills game, or is this even about the Bills or me. A friend of mine’s father, who was a NYC cop shot their TV during a Yankee’s game. Pretty drastic, I’m guessing alcohol was involved. When ever I’ve felt like breaking something over Bills game I think of this. Edited November 30, 2020 by chris heff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukestreetking Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Confession: I've side-kicked (umm, commonly known as "smashed through") 3 TVs over the years. Set-up: based in CA for 25+ yrs, but mostly was overseas. So actually getting to watch a BB game was a precious--and emotional--commodity. Events: (1) Post-4th SB loss, after returning from a month "up north". Watching at a secret squirrel location in Bahrain, so at least it was a US government tv. (2) MC Miracle, but I had enough control to wait until the review confirmation... and it was in my own home. (3) Circa 2012(?), first day back from an Iraq deployment--"evolutions" in our parlance. Early in a very Bill-sy blowout with me yelling "I came back for this s**t!" Unfortunately, it was my gf's tv. She was not, let's say, exactly supportive. My defense: never stupid enough to actually punch the target. Summary: Forgive me board, for I have sinned. And, ya know, "Hello therapy." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also accidentally pulled some stitches in my mouth screaming at my TV during the Titans Forward Lateral.
