I am assuming these signs were put in place by the Bills organization.  My personal favorite...

 

COY'S SOLDIERS!  :P  :lol:

No, no, you missed it. It's not "Coy's Soldiers". It's "Coy's SOULDIERS". As in "soul". My guess is it has something to do with some sort of born-again crap. I find it about as irritating as some idiot who gets down on one knee and crosses himself in the end zone in front of 70,000 fans in the stadium and 5,000,000 viewers on TV....because he can. Get over it. The NFL needs a few more Barry Sanders in this league. Score the touchdown, hand the ball to the official, and get off the damn field.

 

And how much am I loving Marvin Lewis telling Chad Johnson to cut the crap? :lol:

Coy's a real big Christianity advocate/preacher/whatever you want to call him. I think devout would be the word I'm looking for.

Back when I used to live up north I used to notice signs that said "Washington's Generals" (or something like that). These were underprivileged kids that couldn't afford to go to games and were given tickets by Ted Washington.

 

I don't know if this is the same type of deal but wouldn't be surprised.

You're right.

 

From Bills Digest, Vol.1, No. 4 (10/08/06), p.26:

 

Buffalo Bills Player Ticket Program

 

"This year the Buffalo Bills launched the Community Ticket Donation Program with the players and coaches. The program provides community groups and school children the opportunity to attend a Buffalo Bills home game as the guest of one of the Buffalo Bills players or coaches. The guests are given game tickets along with a food and beverage voucher from the players. In recognition of the group and the players' donation, there are banners along the ringwall and an announcement welcoming the guests on the JumboTron.

Some of the players who have participated this season include Nate Clements, Andre Davis, Terrence McGee, Peerless Price, Josh Reed, Robert Royal, Aaron Schobel, Anthony Thomas, Chris Villarrial, and Coy Wire. These players have stepped up to make a difference for many kids, bringing a combined total of almost 200 community guests to every Buffalo Bills home game.

The program has extended this unique opportunity to community organizations such as Boys & Girls Club of Buffalo, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Buffalo, Northwest Buffalo Community Center, Carly's Club, Stone's Buddies, The Ronald McDonald House, Salvation Army Youth Services as well as many other charitable groups."

 

Some other signs that have been in the stadium include 'Reed's Stampede' and 'McGee's Mob'. Somehow, I doubt that these appreciative kids think these signs are lame or stupid. :lol:

Yes it is too easy to make cheap shots which is why so many do it rather than trying to help out some of the kids in the area.

For the season opener, I was in Harrisburg, PA.  So, I had to watch the game in a sports bar downtown.  Just as the game is about to start, of all things, a guy comes in with a Coy Wire jersey on.  I almost choked on my beer.  Anyhow, that's what I remeber thinking at the time.....  I think I just found the world's last Coy Wire fan hiding out in a bar in Harrisburg, PA.

More likely, you "found" a friend or relative of Coy's, seeing as how he lists Camp Hill as his hometown and attended Cedar Cliff HS.

 

And yeah, those 'lame' signs honoring various players' charitable endeavors are really terrible, aren't they? <_<
