He Buffalo Bills’ first great controversial superstar thinks the team has hit a home run by signing Terrell Owens.
Cookie Gilchrist, one of the iconic figures in Bills history, is on board with the addition of Buffalo’s latest controversial superstar.
“The Bills are on their way,” Gilchrist said by phone from Virginia last week.
“When I read that news, I said, ‘Man, Buffalo is on the way up because they’re bringing a talent to the Buffalo Bills that the Bills haven’t had—or they did have it at one time and lost—a talent comparable to Cookie Gilchrist.’ ”
Gilchrist was, to a degree, Terrell Owens before Terrell Owens, as long-time Bills fans may remember. Cookie was outspoken. He was a rugged individualist. He could be offbeat. He was larger than life. He occasionally gave coaches gray hairs, although not as many as Owens has produced. And Cookie was, above all, a colossal talent.
