EndZoneCrew Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Well I was on my way home from work and I figured I would stop by The Big Tree for an icy cold one. Well I go in and shoot the stevestojan with one of the co-owners (fellow baseball player in WNY), well in comes our O-Line and Drew. Solid......well Vallerial came right over to us and ordered a round of shots...solid...he is a GREAT guy...anyways , they are FIRED up to get the JETS here on Sunday and they said they expect to let Willis run all day on the Jets....Well, lets hope so...but it was nice to see them in such a positive mood like that!

Git er Done! 103207[/snapback] I'm incredibly pleased that the o-line hangs out together, especially with the QB there. That type of thing is what made the Bills great back in the day. Buffalo isn't like other football towns, and I'm glad to see these guys carrying on the tradition. I'm of the mind that much of what needs to get done with this offensive line can be accomplished over a beer, and not in a meeting room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always like that in the Big Tree. Danny DeMarco wouldn't allow the players to be bothered, even when I was just a wee kid and would go in there to see my uncle behind the bar. The Big Tree is good times and better people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
