Royale with Cheese Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 A high school teammate of mine went to Tennessee and was there at the same time as Travis Henry. His locker was next to his as well and things would come up missing. He told me it was Henry's reputation so he stopped bringing anything valuable like a watch, ring, wallet.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when Kelly came from the USFL, Bills fans would’ve had Kelly/Flutie debates instead RJ/Flutie debates. Things that make you go hmm.

Instead he turned out to be an 11th Round pick of the Rams. Thank God Polian intervened and said we should take Bruce instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddenboy Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (According to Chris Berman on SportsCenter during the super-bowl run in the early '90s) There are only 2 major sports teams in North America whose official colors are Red, White and (American) Flag Blue. Buffalo Bills and Montreal Canadiens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 8 hours ago, Brennan Huff said: The Bills lost to the Hamilton Tiger Cats 38-21 in 1961 The big two asterisks is that they played by CFL rules and it was just a preseason game for the Bills. The Bills finished last in the AFL East that year and the Tiger Cats went to the Grey Cup, but lost to Winnipeg in overtime. The Bills had only been in existence for a year, right?

It's true Ralph wanted the team to be in Miami. However, he didn't change his mind, he was denied there and settled on Buffalo later. "After an initial bid to create a team in Miami was denied, Wilson told Hunt, "Count me in with Buffalo." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 3 hours ago, The Jokeman said: Instead he turned out to be an 11th Round pick of the Rams. Thank God Polian intervened and said we should take Bruce instead. Polian's decision not to use the first pick on Flutie was made quite simple for him. The reason Flutie went on to not be drafted until the 11th round is because In January he was drafted by the USFL's New Jersey Generals, where, in February, he signed a contract making him the highest paid pro athlete at the time. Two full months before the NFL draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
