VJ91 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Join date? Who cares? My first game at the " stadium" [i dont know what it was called then-pre Rich] was 1974 Bills- Vikings. Vikings R.B. Chuck Forman hit in the eye by a snowball thrown from the stands-Viking fans call Bill fans "hoodlums". Playoffs same year Cowboys-Vikings at Minn. Viking "fan" whips whiskey bottle from stands and cold cocks ref. This is not stuff you find on the internet -I was there. Point is I have been a Bills fan long-long time and just wish Bills would show the kind of "win at any cost" drive the Pats do. There was no "pre-Rich." The stadium's first name was Rich Stadium, and opened the year before your first game, in 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 There was no pre Rich.

MattM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I was at the Foreman game as well--now that was a COLD game. I still remember having to peel back the layers to take a pee in the men's room..... PS Sorry about the slap there, Jim--I saw the join date and suspected a Pats* troll trying a new technique. If I'm wrong about that, my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the apology - you must have been a real gentlman in those days if you actully went to the mens room-sometimes I felt like I was in a outdoor toilet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 "Cheating" can be defined in many ways. Laying down on the job, as the Bills seem to be doing, is no diffrent than using marked cards-your stealing someones money with out a gun. At lest the Pats gave their fans something for their "cheating". I got beat up on this post many times but I see some coming around to my idea-cant the Bills at lest ACT like their trying? "lets get this over with next year I am a UFA". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 I hate the Patriots for how they run up the score and illegally hit players without punishment, and seem to have the refs in their bankroll (wasnt called for a SINGLE holding call in 2007)...not for the illegal taping scandal. I wouldn't be incredibly surprised if every team hasn't dabbled in taping as it's a relatively easy thing to get away with (Pats were only caught because Mangini blew them in). In other words, I hate the Pats but not because of the spying scandal like most people. I wish someone hated the Bills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Little Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 No, thanks. Not worth it.I'd rather lose honorably than cheat like those a-holes. And just think, if we were like them we'd have to deal with all the bandagon moron fans, just like 90 percent of the current Pats* fans--you know, the folks who couldn't tell Andre Tippett from Andre 3000, or who honestly didn't know that the Pats* lost two SBs before 2001.... So they cheated en route to 18-1 last season? They're cheating again this year, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 So they cheated en route to 18-1 last season? They're cheating again this year, too? Personally, I think that what they got caught doing was the tip of the iceberg--there were many other reports out of NE over the years, including things like headsets going out at inopportune times (Marinelli and Del Rio reported that, for ex.) Check out the NYT article from May of this year that also quoted several members of the NFL Competition Cttee saying that it was really only one team (NE) that kept coming up in complaints of shady goings on over and over......
