‘Did You Know’ thread about the Bills


Recommended Posts

The All American Football Conference Buffalo Bisons, playing at War memorial Stadium in 1946, played in a division with the NY Yankees, Brooklyn Dodgers and Miami Seahawks. They did not become the Bills until 1947. The color line was broken in football in 1946 by the Cleveland Browns of the All American Football Conference with Marion Motley and Bill Willis.

Ralph Wilson initially wanted to put a team in Miami before settling on Buffalo.

 

A minority owner of the Detroit Lions,[7] Wilson got wind of Lamar Hunt's plans for a new league, the American Football League, to challenge the NFL. He tried to put together a team in Miami, but was turned down. His next choice was Buffalo, where the AFL's first choice of owner, Pat McGroder, had declined to start a team. In September 1959, Wilson sent Hunt a telegram with the words, "Count me in with Buffalo.”[8] He named his new team the Bills, after a previous team that had played in the All-America Football Conference from 1946 to 1949. On October 28, 1959 the Buffalo Bills officially became the seventh AFL team

Did you know when the Bills play in all reds, and the Jets play in all greens, there are some people on this planet who can’t tell what the hell is going on? 

 

Not to mention, it’s a really ugly event!!!

Did you know the standing Buffalo logo is the only logo in professional sports with a penis?

 

"Eric Dickerson Says New Rams Logo Looks Like a Penis After Criticism from Fans"

 

They just had to consult someone named Dickerson for a quote about a penis, didn't they?

Did you know CJ Spiller played for the Jets?  I don't remember that at all...I knew about the Saints and the Chiefs.  I mean it's not the level of Thurman Thomas and the Dolphins...it was just so forgettable.

 

 

Did you also know I was looking up Preston brown and hes a free agent without a job after playing with the Bengals and then jags? 

 

Its crazy how some of our guys thay were touted as good at times couldn't cut it other places even as depth

Kelvin Benjamin was our #1 WR in 2017!  He was out of football the next year at age 27.

Did you know that former Bills tackle Demetrius Bell is the illegitimate child of NBA hall of famer Karl Malone?  Don’t know if I spelled his name right but that’s ok as he didn’t realize he was spelling his own 1st name wrong until he was 28.

...all 5 members of the Electric Company, the line that blocked for OJ in the early '70s, weighed between 253 and 255 lbs?  That's a full 60 lbs. less than the average lineman today.

...the heaviest Buffalo Bill ever was Michael Jasper, who weighed in at 375 lbs (he lost weight at the request of Chan Gailey).  His playing weight was as high as 450 lbs in college.

Did you know Michael Jasper is now the Head Coach at Bethel University, his Alma Mater?
