We exchanged pleasantries and I graciously bantered about the game being amazing but heartbreaking. We proceed through the (video) meeting agenda, then get ready to sign off, and he says "Oh I have one more thing to show you". He then goes off camera, grabs a ridiculously-sized commemorative Chiefs Super Bowl ring and sticks it into his camera. I didn't know what to say but managed one more gracious remark before signing off. Very surprised that someone of his stature would go to that next level. Maybe I'm just too sensitive or expecting too much class from a victorious fan base. I'd like to think I'd never go there if I ever got the chance. I think that guy was a schmuck with little grace or class. Probably thought he was being "funny" or he may enjoy being an ******* . thats my take. You showed restraint IMO....fake ring Im soooo impressed......NOT. jerk. as far as the bolded nahh u won't too much class I dont even know u but you'll remember not to be THAT schmuck haha m Edited January 25, 2022 by muppy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked online and found out the hospital was the charity of choice for Josh Allen. He told News 4 in retrospect, he wish he had changed the donation amount to $17, so it didn’t seem like a jab. And as it turns out, Oishei was the perfect place to give to for the guy who started it all. Brett Fitzgerald has a son who has autism and his family cares deeply for their local children’s hospital.

JerseyBills Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 12 hours ago, Success said: Very cool. Some of my Bills fan friends think KC/Mahomes will be an obstacle that really holds us back. But I see it as a rivalry that we'll enjoy for many years. I could see us matching up against them in the playoffs many times, as I'm sure many here can. I love that. After years in the wilderness, we're now one of the headliners. We'll get our share against that team, and when all is said & done, it could go down as one of the NFL's great rivalries. Absolutely! We can def overtake. Shoot , we did overtake them minus 13 seconds, 49 yards fg and a coin toss we would be 2-0 against them this year.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but it's a little cringeworthy when i see Bills fans on Twitter or wherever..get nasty with KC fans for "rubbing it in".

Exactly, it's both at the same time. The guy who stated it was going to make the $13 donation to a KC charity, but then thought to make it to Josh Allen's. So it's a thoughtful gesture and a show of good sportsmanship amongst rival fans. Nobody is mad that people are donating money.

Apocalypse Nuts Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It is an incredibly classy thing to do and a lot of kids and their families will benefit greatly from their generosity. If you’re so sensitive that you’re too insulted by the 13 aspect to appreciate how great of a gesture this is then I respectfully suggest you might want to talk to a therapist about that. Wink wink Seriously I have a new found respect for Chiefs fans. This is really classy. It is proof positive of the great reputation that Bills fans have around the league. Yet another reason I am so proud to be part of the most amazing fan base on Earth. And I’m not even from Western NY. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
