Believe you're good !!

SHOUT BUFFALO !! 


Damar & his Buffalo Bills teammates, didn't stop believing that he was going to get better! 🙏👍🏈

I've been going to college, or residing in Bills territory ever since fall of '76. The Bills' preseason training camp has been at my alma mater St. John Fisher University (formerly a college until last July) since 2000.
In all those years, I have never bought or worn any Bills attire, until this past Friday. Ask my friends, my family, I am a very very loyal person especially to my sports teams, in good times & bad. The NY Jets have really tested my loyalty this past decade, but I continue to root, cheer,  and defend them. I really don't know any Jet fans who have defected to another team, they are as committed and loyal to Gang Green as I. In the good times, SB III, the Parcels years, and yes the two years Rex Ryan took the NYJ to the AFC championship game. And the bad times ; Rich Kotite, Bruce Coslet , Eric Mangini, Todd Bowles, Adam Gase, Lou Holtz as inept head coaches. The butt fumble game, Marino fake spike, 1-15, Sam Darnold, Neil O'Donnell, the sucker punch by IK Enemkpali on Geno Smith, ......

 I've worn my NY Jets hats & sweatshirts to Shea & Giants stadiums, The Meadowlands, and every Jet game I've attended in Rich Stadium and all its ever changing names. 
Sometimes, it got rough with some of those crazy & inebriated tailgating Bills fans, but I stood tall and always raised a single index finger. I utter, "we got ours in '69! How many you got ? Shut up, then." 😊😊 


The Jets have always been & will continue to be my team. They have been ever since the Fall of '68, the season of Super Bowl III ,& especially on January 12, 1969. Joe Willie, Snell, Maynard, Jim Turner, Gerry Philbin, Hudson, Grantham, & John Schmitt (a long long lost cousin perhaps 🤔🤔) & company upset the mighty Baltimore Colts. 





Great interview with John SCHMITT about Jets career, & SB III. A MUST LISTEN IF YOU'RE A PRO FOOTBALL FAN.

But, I'm on the Bills bandwagon at least for now. I have joined  my friends who are loyal Buffalo Bill fans, yes even those who call themselves the Bills Mafia.


The Bills are really a class 👍 organization. I admit I'm envious of their owners, The Pegulas,  Coach McDermott, and especially QB Josh Allen 

So, LET'S GO BUFFALO.
SHOUT !!


At least until the start of next year, there's always next year, and when the Jets take on them Bills & Damar !!

P.S. I know my buddies , Terry McNamara, Mike Thornton, Mark Muench, Mike Parry, Mike Spreter have some special pull upstairs, or maybe too busy with SU basketball. 

Be well.

This is not a fictional tale, nor a little bit of reality and then embellished for a TV movie, no it's about two men , actually three men, of different economic backgrounds, races, ethnicity, and how they didn't see differences  but commonality. The commonality was they were all football men, Chicago Bears, one a coach/owner, the other two players. They had a common goal, win football games for the Chicago Bears. Actually, maybe win a few games for the Bears, because in the late 1960's the Bears weren't a very good team. Gale Sayers was one of the best running backs to ever play in the NFL, Brian Piccolo was second string all the way. He had the heart and determination better than not only of most in the NFL, but better than 99% of the citizens in the United States. Nothing stopped that guy except cancer. Brian Piccolo was pre Jimmy V, there was no ESPN in his time, But, his message, Gale's message, George Halas's message was eloquently told in the TV movie, &qu

4th of July , Pathmark, Cross Bronx Expressway, AJ SCHMITT AND SONS.

Many of you have heard of my infamous first solo driving of one of our market trucks on the road. ( Ref :  AUGUST 1974    But , with the 4th of July holiday weekend, my mind remembers the 4th of July weekend, 1976. Pathmark supermarkets had given AJ SCHMITT and SONS a large vegetable order for the holiday weekend.  July 2, 1976 was a Friday, and thus we could fulfill that order. Hunts Point Terminal Produce was not operational on early Saturdays or Sundays mornings. We never made trips to HPTP on Fridays or Saturdays. Thus, both trucks could be used to deliver the huge order to Pathmark warehouse, 60 miles away in Carteret NJ. And all farm workers could help harvest that order. We had a few high school guys , my brother and I included, working on the farm that summer. One of us would take a day off, and it would be rotated among the high school guys. That Friday I had the day off. We still had not gotten a refrigerated tractor trailer to take produce to market. The plan  was to utiliz
