Tip of the hat to Mr. Galliford, and the rest of you…

by krytime on Apr 29, 2008 8:37 PM EDT

This post should have come sooner. But after the weekend, I think many of us were “Footballed Out.” So, with that being said…

I just wanted to thank Brian and the rest of you (even the ones I disagreed – actually, especially the ones I disagreed with) for a great time watching the draft “here” at BR. This was the first time I made it through almost the entirety of an NFL draft. Needless to say, I did enjoy it immensely.

Again, props to Brian for getting this site up and running; he’s got a classy site here. Also, nice work by the tech guys. I thought they were taking a chance launching a new platform just days before such a high traffic period. When there were some glitches on the days prior to the draft, I had some reservations about turning down some of the draft party invitations I received.

There are too many of you guys to acknowledge you individually. But if you responded to any of my banter, God bless ya’. I know what a meathead I can be some times, especially with regard to the Bills. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the exchanges, and the wealth of knowledge you all shared.

Peace. Go BR. Go Bills…

P.S. – Now that the draft is over, what are we going to “argue” about next?

Absolutely!

Fantastic job everyone. My first draft like this too. Quite an amazing spectacle to watch. I should have been a weatherman. Sure would have got it right more often!

And

if I may, a long life prayer for Mr. Wilson. And best wishes to Jim Kelly, Tom Golisano and whoever is working behind the scenes to keep the Bills in BUFFALO!

Thanks. It was great seeing so many of you out here.

As for your last question – we’ve got plans. Don’t worry about that. Sireric, Jri111, Kurupt and myself have a whole list of stuff to talk about this off-season. We’ve got you covered.

Yup great job Brian et al.

Even though I tuned into the draft late, it was fun going through all the historical comments about what was going on at various stages of the draft. Is McK going to fall to 11, and then the count as people ahead of us did (or didnt) take WR/TEs in the 2nd round. Good stuff.

Better than Christmas Day!

My wife jokes I like the NFL draft better than Christmas – and she’s not that far off.

1st year I watched it from BR perspective and what a blast.

Brian and the Triumvirate – awesome job! Bills Fans always have opinions and unlike other teams fans – the facts to back them up!

Long Live Ralph and BR!!

Agreed

I am glad we are on SB Nation. The interviews with college team experts, details about what is going and general banter among the fans on the fanposts is fantastic. So far no one has gotten irrational as it seems most people understand it is ok to agree to disagree and that is the most important thing when depating a team people have so much passion about. To Brian, Sireric, Jri111, Kurupt and others who contribute you should know your site and time is appreciated.

Here!Here!

I love this site! I have left BuffaloBills.com behind for good. There is no question THIS is the place for Bills football.

This site has a group of excellent “regular” writers and a solid corps of contributers.

Draft day was a blast here. I can’t wait for the season to start.

Next Subject

Ha! If that were the next subject, you’d have to wait a month for another discussion! We’ll keep you busy til then, believe me…

Excllent Post Krytime!!!

As I was on-line most of the draft weekend, I have to agree, great job to the Triumvirate, and especially to Brian!!! Particularly with the later picks, as we (or maybe just me… LOL), began to lose it, you held us together as Bills fans, often reminding us, that the FO knew what they were doing, or guiding us as we tried to figure the picks out….
You kept a cool head Brian… And now that we’ve all had some time to “digest” the draft, I would also like to thank you, and all the other posters from last weekend…. There was no better place to be as a Bills fan…

I could not of had a better time

watching the draft, unless we were all in a bar together. Cinga, Ron, & Skycap – Did you ever think that any other site would have better Bills discussion than RF365? We need to get Nate to stop by.

by Joe P. on Apr 30, 2008 9:46 PM EDT up 0 recs

Yeah...

Nate with his insight would be a welcome addition here!!! Also Goose, as he’s been a Bills fan even longer than I… I’m sure there were a couple other great Bills fans “over there” I just can’t place right now… However, I do remember about 3 in particular, that can stay right where they are!!!! And I’m sure you can guess them!!! LOL!!!

great time....

I also had a great time during the draft… First time I watched it in its entirety in many years… I too want to thank everyone as well. Had fun speaking to other Bills fans because it’s hard to find them. I enjoy this website alot and frequent it daily. It’s been a pleasure meeting all of you and I hope to banter with all of you in the near future. Go Bills!
