It's a different day and age. Billy Shaw, a Hall of Famer, wouldn't make todays squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it is a different era, I considered that. Bob Chandler wouldn't make the PS on this team, imo, way too slow. In fact most of the Bills Super Bowl era players wouldn't make todays squad.

I doubt the people who were showing it knew who he was or that he had died. Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Was the first NFL player from whom I ever got an autograph. My favorite Bills player ever...until Josh. Best hands I've ever seen. Died way too young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I'm now convinced this was just @Chandler#81's way of finding out who would miss him once he's gone. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this one was one of those infomercials they ran on Saturday mornings. It's too long ago for me to remember what he was selling, but it was definitely Bob Chandler in the ad.

Punching Bag Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-01-28-sp-25175-story.html Quote Ex-Raider Bob Chandler Is Dead at 45 : Football: Former USC and pro wide receiver and radio commentator succumbs after four-month battle with cancer. I am sure if he had done something criminal it would have been "Ex-Bill Bob Chandler arrested ...." Quote Chandler was drafted in the seventh round by the Bills and played nine seasons with them. He caught more than 60 passes in 1976 and ’77. Quote Chandler was one of the first people to visit Simpson on June 13, hours after the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were found. Chandler was a regular visitor of Simpson’s in jail, usually going there two or three times a week. The visits continued even after Chandler became ill. “We weren’t best friends, but we always had tremendous respect for each other,” Chandler said recently.

SoCal Deek Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I actually designed a building that was named in his honor. I got to meet the Chandler family at the dedication ceremony and passed along sincere condolences from the entire Bills fanbase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
