Two Bills Drive

“Up until reading the Page 1 article on the Bills (May 28), I was feeling great, playing tennis daily, and enjoying the 80-and-over international tennis tournament in Austria.”

“Not enough, apparently, that he quarterbacked in four Super Bowls for the Buffalo Bills. Not enough that he takes his vacations in remote sections of Alaska accessible only by airplane and hundreds of miles from the nearest limo for hire. Not enough that he hunts bears there and not just defenseless ducks.”

“Do you avoid Buffalo Bills games because you’re afraid of having beer spilled on you by strangers? Or do you cringe at the thought of wading through a sea of tipsy, rowdy tailgaters in the Ralph Wilson Stadium parking lots?”

“The pilot of the plane carrying Jim Kelly has a less harrowing account of the rough landing in the Berring Sea than the one given by the former Buffalo Bills quarterback.”

“Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly says he is lucky to be alive

after a plane he was in went down in the Bering Sea recently, 100 yards off the Alaska Peninsula.”

That is one big bear…

“Pat Kelly was on the beach helplessly watching as the two-seat plane carrying his famous brother – ex-Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly – struggled to land on the Alaskan coast.”

“No longer will Ralph Wilson Stadium have to be classified as an open-air theater to comply with the state building code. And all the Buffalo Bills had to do was tilt the tops of the seats forward a few inches.”

“Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly sustained minor cuts and scrapes when a two-seat plane he was in crashed into the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska during a hunting trip earlier this month.”

“The Good: Team seems immune to public sentiment when making personnel decisions (bumping mighty mite Doug Flutie behind Rob Johnson on QB depth chart was their ballsiest). Gotta love the pick of puny, (5’11”, 222 lbs.) sack-happy Virginia Tech LB/DE Corey Moore in the third round.”

This is a reprint of a TBD article published August 3rd 1998.

“A former University of Oklahoma standout, Kalsu was selected by the Bills in the eighth round of the 1968 draft. His active ROTC status and the rate at which Army brass was calling for fresh troops to send to Vietnam scared off several teams in the NFL and the old AFL and plummeted him several rounds lower than projections.”

John Clayton reports that Bryce Paup wants to come crawling back.
