After multiple tries that were taken, I accidently submitted ColoradoBills after deleting the trailing "fan" and it took. It looked a little weird, but I said, "screw it" and left it.

Make a diving catch? “BOBBY CHANDLER!’. Toe drag catch at the sideline or end line of the endzone? “BOBBY CHANDLER!” 3 reasons; like every kid in the ‘hood, he was smallish & white & then he was Great! Ditto and Chandler#81 was taken. I’m not sure player uniforms were available to buy back then so I wish I would’ve ordered a custom jersey with his name and #. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be fun during this down time to perhaps share some back ground with each other. I’ll start, I am a big fan of the Italian car brand Alfa Romeo and of course our Bills. Pretty simple really I made portmanteau of the two. This is a good bye week thread. Mine’s fairly obvious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Someday Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 This thread got me thinking of what my original screen name was. First one was a play on my name. Then I changed it to 3–>10 connection after EJ completed a beautiful long TD pass to Bobby Trees (against the Ravens IIRC) and I thought I’d be watching them light up the league for years. Obviously that didn’t work out so once they were both gone I had to come up with something new. Great thread btw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notwoz Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 My nickname is a combination of several factors. First, my wife's nickname at work was "the woz." That was a shortened version of "the great and powerful woz," which was a riff on the Wizard of Oz's "Oz the great and powerful." Throw in the late 1970s, early 1980s pop band Was Not Was, and it was only natural that I would be known as "notwoz." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sestak4ever Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Was a big Bills fan from back in the early sixties. My dad and older brothers were big Bills fans which obviously gained my interest. I loved their awesome defense and got to meet Tom Sestak, along with Pete Gogolak, Darryl Lamonica and Dick Hudson at an autograph session at the motel field in Blasdell where they practiced. I think it was the Camelot. I could not get over how massively huge Sestak was. To a small child he truly was a giant. His play on the field was second to none and his quickness and strength at his position were unmatched. If he grabbed a running back by the ankle, that running back was going nowhere. Unfortunately his career was shortened by a knee injury. That Bill's defense was legendary with Stratton, Tracy, Jacobs, Day, McDole, Dunaway, Saimes and Byrd. The best of all those greats was Sestak. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 My refers to inside jargon I had with my brother about Steve Johnson's route running. When he would stutter start against Revis, when a press corner would lunge at the snap and he would take a step back and make the corner go off balance forward, or the time he double moved Sherman in Toronto for the TD, we would say Stevie just gave that guy the Hucklebuck, just juked him, broke his ankles. So it just became, if we were the Offensive Coordinator, we'd run Straight Hucklebuck Offense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently live in St. Petersburg FL so there's the name. The picture is from the 1965 Topps AFL series, which is a pretty sweet set. It has Joe Namath's rookie card and a nice set of old time Bills (Kemp, Sestak, etc.) on a pink background of all colors. 10 hours ago, ChevyVanMiller said: Grew up listening to Bills home games on the radio (they were always blacked out on TV) with Van Miller on the call. When I joined here I had a Chevy Van. I love word chains, was once in a band called Bar Stool Pigeons, thus ChevyVanMiller was born. Awesome screen names for both of you. I'm a big fan of word chains. For that reason, "ChevyVanMiller" especially always stood out for me when I read your posts. I plan to make a thread here about those later, in the off-season when things die down. I might even reference both of you. 6 hours ago, RJ (not THAT RJ) said: Back in the previous century, during the Flutie-Johnson debate, I was tired of people saying how much they hated "RJ," which also happens to be two of my initials.

I want to know how Jimmy Spagnola, ZeroVoltz, and FilthyBeast got their names. I can imagine why for the last one, actually. Also, I love the name of @That's No Moon. I grew up in the 70's/80's, so the pop culture from that era brings back cool memories. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all are just amazing to me! my name is just based on Bills always struggling. it applied to my Life as well. Hard to overcome 3rd and12 because they are going to blitz you and it will be tough to get the first down to get momentum. Bu I always have believed in the ability to convert bad yardage situation with good coaching call and excellent execution ! Bills are that team , just took a few decades of patience from us all !! My icon is/was a race header for my 2007 Mazdaspeed3 I built up over the years into a monster fast car. its gone now but i love the memory of my sweetheart that could spin the front tires at sixty mph easily and had a top speed well over 160. not that ii ever would do that ... great topic and so please so many of you opened up.
