Kelly the Dog Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Who is Tony Cline, Alex? Decent guess. Tony Cline was one of his two housemates. It's not an easily recognizable name at all, but he has a famous athlete brother. That's the second clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ok, so the next guess would be Justin Armour, but he does not have a famous athlete brother. Justin Armour was the other housemate. He told me a funny story about them. The first week he is there he shares a house with Tony Cline and Justin Armour on Elmwood. It's his first practice and being on special teams he has to be at the stadium an hour earlier than the other players. Armour and Cline change the clock on his schedule an hour behind, and set the clock next to his bed a half hour ahead. So he wakes up and thinks he's totally fukked because there is no way he can get to the stadium on time. He jumps into his car and races 80 mph to the stadium. A cop pulls him over going 80 in Lackawanna and he's schitting his pants. He tells the cop he just got traded to the Bills and has to get to the stadium because he's already late and they fine you $500 or something for every minute you're late. The Buffalo cop yells "Follow me!" and gives him a police escort to the stadium with the siren blaring. Ralph Wilson is in his office with Butler and Levy in a meeting and they look outside when they hear the siren, then he leaps out of the car and runs up to the practice field, which is locked. And Butler comes down and says "What the hell are you doing here?" you're not scheduled to be here for another hour (since Armour and Cline had screwed him over and changed his schedule) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She became friendly with Justin Armour. This relationship culminated with an invite to the locker room after the Bills-Dallas game of week 4 in 1996. It was a rainy day, Todd Collins started, and we won 10-7. Justin didn't play, but Tony Cline did. My dad, three brothers, and I all got to stand around Armour's locker. We met several players that day, among them was Tony Cline, who had a locker right next to Armour. One of the coolest experiences ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazedandConfused Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I think it just means that TO needs/gets a lot of attention on a national stage, thus Dallas was a "good situation" for him, the Giants or Redskins would have been good for him, etc. Nothing to do with football, everything to do with the fact that the dude has his own reality TV show. Agreed. The funny thing is that after watching thr beginning of the first episode of the TO show (and after a short viewing tuning switching to something more interesting when I realized the Bills are going to be a later plot line in this "reality" show is that the true measure for TO of how well Buffalo is a good place for him or not is how well it fits into the storyline of his telling his tale. My guess is that if the Bills are winners in 09 then TO being part of this winner is the likely plot line. If the Bills do not win, then the plotline is how TO deals with adversity. If there is something else going on in his life (will TO marry or settle down for example) TO is likely fine as a Bill as his dealing with the team will be background noise rather than major plot. If on the other hand the team does not do well and there are no other significant plotlines then my guess is TO acts a fool to make for interesting TV. The answer for the Bills is the same as always. Just win baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Was this person ever on the active roster or a practice squader? Not sure. I know he didn't start any games, and he was on the team less than the full season. He said the Bills traded him back to the 49ers at the end of the season. I know he was on the team and was there for awhile as he told me all kinds of pretty specific stories of the players and the coaches and going back to alumni games, etc. And to this day, he keeps sending Bills hats and jerseys to his brother who yells at him that he was a 49er, what is he sending Bills hats for, to which he says he considers himself a Bill. His brother confirmed this to me. Another clue, his brother was an all-star player in a different sport. Last Saturday night, the second night I went out partying with him we were both liquored up and I mentioned Andre Reed. Even though it was about 1 am, he says, "Let's call him!" He shows me Andre's number on his phone, calls him and puts it on speaker phone next to my ear. It's pretty funny and Andre's voicemail comes on but he says, "This is Andre... blah blah blah" and I can recognize his voice so I knew it was him. The first night I was out drinking with him he had told me he was still good friends with Andre from that one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorCal Aaron Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 We're looking at 1995 because that's the only year Armour was on the Bills (Cline 95-97 , Marv's last year was 97). If he played with Gunrack, he wasn't on the active roster in 1995 (no Huskies on the 1995 roster). I doubt this guy was anything more than a PSer. He probably was plucked or signed as a FA, then let go and reacquired by the 49ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have been hurt. The next year, 1997, he went to the Eagles. He could have been a PSer, I don't know. He was on defense though. The QB wasn't gunrack, he was more famous and more infamous.
