It’s early but how about the best xmas present in us making the playoffs today. Next we not only win the East, but get the second seed when the Stiller stumble next week. I’ll bet $20 on the Colts.

Augie Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 3 hours ago, CLTbills said: I currently live in Concord, NC, and there are a bunch of Bills fans here. 7-8 different families in my neighborhood alone. But what made me laugh was this. This past weekend, a former neighbor of mine, who recently had moved down to Florida (Bradenton) just a few months ago, stopped by the house when we were out front playing with the kids. He was back in town for something that was scheduled before he made the move to Florida. He saw us out front and just stopped by to chat. He said, "I can't believe how many Bills fans there are down there! Literally the first family we met after we moved in was Bills fans!" It kinda made me chuckle. That for such a "small market" team, wherever you go - he went from Concord, NC, to Bradenton, FL, and there are apparently just as many there as there are here - there are Bills fans everywhere! Not long after we moved to Sarasota, FL my parents came to visit. We went out to dinner Saturday night and they ran into some people they knew from Buffalo. OK, that’s nice. Sunday morning we go to church and they see another couple they knew. Alright, that’s kinda strange. After church we go to the Cabana Inn to watch the Bills game. It’s dark in there so you can see the giant projection screens. My dad gets up to go to the restroom and literally bumps into a guy he went to high school with 50 years earlier. I have NO idea how they even recognized each other! Now it’s getting freaky! They were there 48 hours and knew more people than I did! It was great going to Bills games in Jax and seeing Bills fans outnumber the poor Jags fans 4 to 1 (at least)! My goal is to get back to Sarasota in the next 5-10 years. Maybe I’ll meet some of you there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years, I've met a few Bills fans in northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin. Most recently, in 2019, I ran into a Bills fan at the Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe, IL.

starrymessenger Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'm born & bred in Montreal but worked in Toronto for 15 years. Started following the Bills back then (Bledsoe era). Lots of Bills fans in southern Ontario obviously. Now I spend my winters on the West Coast (Victoria, Vancouver Island) and otherwise in Montreal/ Eastern Townships of Quebec. French speaking Quebecers are good NFL fans but mostly G-Men. On the West Coast it's all Seahawks. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 3 hours ago, Stranded in Boston said: Raised in Town of Tonawanda; moved to Boston after UB >35 years ago. I'm OK with the Red Sox, and I'm finally more-or-less over that BS foul call that allowed the Celtics to beat the Braves in the 1974 NBA playoffs. But I successfully vaccinated my kids against the Cheats. Simple formula: Kid wanna eat? Kid root for Bills. 😎 Actually, a few years back I took my boys to see an AC Milan soccer game at Gillette Stadium. On the way out, the little guys spotted this huge Pats logo painted on the concourse, and started stomping on it, yelling "Pats suck! Brady sucks!", etc. Then we had to beat it the hell out of there! You raised them right. Was raised on edge of Blasdell (route 20A) in Steelton. Attended my first game at Rockpile (long story) as a kid who walked there bringing my return bottle money. My grandmother lived on California Road and played in South Branch Smoke Creek which was adjunct to her property. Was on stadium property while it was being built. Moved to Virginia after college in 1985. Travelled for work and found Bills fans most places where I worked. There was a bar in Georgia in 90s where it was free admission if you could cite names of 10 Bills who did not play in Superbowls and bouncer seemed to know names of every Bill who ever played including years they played. I have been Bills Backers group president since late 90s although due to physical issues I do not go to bar put a few times each year now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I've lived my entire life on Long Island. As a 9 or 10 year old I had no interest in the Jets or Giants so the decision was made to root for the other NY team and I've never looked back. Good times have been few and far between but it feels great to be back in the saddle. To paraphrase a line from Full Metal Jacket: "These are great days we're living, bros. We are jolly blue giants, walking the Earth — with Josh Allen. These teams we vanquished here this year are the finest we will ever know. After we rotate back to the off season, we're gonna miss not having anyone around that's worth beating ." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just had a funny experience & thought I'd throw my hat into the "ran into a Bills fan where I never expected it" ring. So I work overnights at a fairly large County Jail in Texas, and 2 nights ago I was bringing in an inmate to process. He was drunk, rude, talking all kinds of s*** and just being a genuine pain in the behind. I tell him to stand against the wall & wait to be patted down, then I go to where we take mugshots (which is about 8 feet in front of him and start getting his paperwork together. As I'm doing this, I grab my coffee tumbler and downing that sweet elixir when all of a sudden the guy just shuts up. I just thought "thank god," as I proceeded to setup the camera. About 10 seconds later, out of nowhere he just blurts out "Josh Allen is a STUD!" which absolutely threw me right off. I paused, looked up at him & just stared confused as hell as to why he just said that. I NEVER hear anything Bills-related in my city, and not once in 3 years in the jail. I just said "Sorry, what did you say?" even though I heard it clearly, I was just completely taken aback. He responded "Bro, the Bills are kicking ass this year! Diggs put this team over the top!" At that point, I didn't even care how much of a prick he was before that, I was so excited to hear Bills talk that I just completely dropped everything & stood there chatting it up for 10 minutes 😂 He got just as excited, then went on & on about how he wishes he could visit Buffalo, how he grew up loving them (post-Kelly), but they've never been good, and was so thrilled to meet another Bills fan that he couldn't stop apologizing for being so obnoxious earlier. Finally, I realized that I had no clue how he even knew I was a Bills fan, and he just pointed to my coffee tumbler. It was my Bills one, which I never bring to work but for some reason grabbed that night. Anyway, from that point on he was the most cooperative, calm & overly nice inmate I've ever dealt with. He asked for my name wanting to meet up to watch a game sometime, but yeah... wasn't willing to go that far lol. * * *TL;DR - Met another Bills fan in jail. He was an a-hole. Then he became the most chill person ever, all because of a mutual love for the Bills. 👍 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commiserated all about superbowls, music city, all the players and drafts... his love of bills was rooted in family. our culture runs deep. Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. A guy pulls up to me and asks me directions. He is wearing a Bills hoodie. I live in Chicago now. I said to him: "You are wearing a Buffalo Bills Hoodie?"

hondo in seattle Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Bills fans are like cockroaches: we're everywhere! Just the other day, I talked to a guy working as a cook in a little BBQ joint in Gig Harbor, WA while wearing a Bills beanie. In the past, I've encountered Bills fans on the streets of Seoul, in the sands of the Arabian Desert, on a beach on the little Colombian island of San Andres, and various points in between. It's a great and global fraternity we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
