It was the worst football game I’ve ever witnessed in person. My dad and his dad were best friends. We all sat down for dinner one night. I asked him to sign my hat but he would not. Said he was not a real NFL player but when he had an opportunity he had to take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrochester55 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Alex Tanney. Known for trick throws on youtube and bounced around the league for years. Was with us for one preseason but never made it past the practice squad. I think that he actually ended up playing a little on the Giants. Gibran Hamdan- 3rd string QB during the drought era. Had an entertaining video series where he would interact with and informally interview teammates. I always thought that he had potential to be in journalism when he was done with football. Rick Schulte- Replacement lineman during the strike. Got stuck blocking Lawrence Taylor when he crossed the picket line. Was owned as expected but got his licks in on Taylor enough to piss him off a few times. I don't actually remember this as i was 10 years old, but it was a good story on an article years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been a fun experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of a cult hero with the Bills. out of the blue, Howard Cosell went off about him singing his praises of never giving up and giving it his all during a MNF game Bills lost handedly. Funny stuff.....he was hard nosed undersized tough player. TE Rober Royal "can't get two feet down wide open in end zone vs Chargers at home". he was quoted in an interview same year his goal was HOF........ lol Edited July 23, 2023 by cba fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Matt Stevens. He made a key play in the Bills win in 1996 against the Eagles deflecting a pass late to Irving Fryer. That game is an underrated Bills classic. The last time I believe the team won a game in Philly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Almighty Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I went to a bar after a game and was talking to 2 girls. Suddenly she says hey would you like to meet my friend he's over there. I asked her why she wanted me to go meet a random dude. She asked me to just come. The guy was Josh Reed and he had 4 drops that Sunday. I shook his hand and asked if he had greasy wings prior to the game and he asked why and I said cause you dropped almost every pass. He looked at me like he wanted to ring my neck and walked off while my buddies laughed. He never spoke to me again that night for some unknown reason. #TrueStory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
