JohnNord Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Former Channel 2 sports anchor Ed Kilgore is launching a new podcast where he shared memories from his 40 years covering the Bills. In this video he talks about Ralph Wilson barging into the officials locker room after a devastating loss to Miami in the 1970’s. Ed deliberately baited Ralph into making a public comment trashing the officials. Ralph later said his fine was “the new money I’ve ever spent.” If you listen to the full podcast, he cites this as proof that Ralph really did care about the Bills winning. Of course, it’s his opinion… not mine. Ed also sounds off about why the Bills don’t have an open-air stadium and responds to fans trashing the new design and defends the Pegula’s decision. Ed has aged a LOT since I last saw him but he’s one of the few that have seen it all when it comes to the Bills. He’s still a decent storyteller. While he seems to be more positive and team friendly than most, I still find his stories to be interesting. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bills-podcast/id1534832424?i=1000605129160 1 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Holy crap! He looks like an old ass Lindy Ruff. Don't recognize him from what I remember he looked like. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Wow. I have not seen Kilgore in years and he really looks and sounds old. Of course, my kids recently saw a picture of me from about 10-15 years ago (they found it on Google, it may have been an old LinkedIn photo and it was on my old company's website) and said "Dad, that looks nothing like you." When I look at it, I think it looks just like I look today. I used to like Kilgore on Channel 2 and remember when he was on the Sabres' road telecasts. I'm sure that a good percentage of this board doesn't remember those days. Edited March 21 by msw2112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiva Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 If you’re defending the new stadium design, you have zero credibility. The new design is just terrible and cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I thought he was already old when I was a kid. I didn't know there was a whole other level of old where you don't even look like the same person anymore 1 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I got married I had a picture of my fiancee in Hong Kong and a person who had no idea I was getting married asked me "Who is the model in that picture?" My wife does not look like that picture anymore but going from a buyer who was always meeting customers to someone sewing at home and doing gardening was a big change. No need for her to wear makeup for many years. She also had to live with me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the only thing I understand is your last line … that your poor wife had to live with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
