Check out my Internet Radio Show "The Jeff Nixon Sports Report" where I talk about issues regarding the Buffalo Bills and the NFL in general. I played Free Safety for the Bills from 1979-1984.

MY GUEST FOR MONDAY MAY 11, 2009:

Shane Nelson (born May 25, 1955 in Mathis, Texas) played linebacker for six seasons for the Buffalo Bills. Shane was discovered at an open trial held by the Dallas Cowboys. He was the only player, out of 1,800, to be offered an NFL contract. However, Nelson rejected Dallas' offer and signed for the Bills where he felt he had more of a chance of playing. Shane not only beat the odds and made the Bills, but he started every game, totaled 168 tackles and was named to the All-Rookie team. Two seasons later with Buffalo using a 3-4 defensive alignment, he racked up an incredible team record 192 tackles and anchored the middle next to Jim Haslett, who was in his first year. Add another rookie, nose tackle Fred Smerlas, and Western New York became home to its own "Bermuda Triangle".

The show airs every Monday night from (5 pm to 6 pm Eastern) (4 to 5 pm Central) (3 to 4 pm Mountain) and (2-3 Pacific). You can listen to the show by going to the following website link: http://www.modavox.com/voiceamerica/vshow.aspx?sid=1477
I invite you to call the show and ask me or Shane a question at the toll free number 1-(888) 346-9144.

Another guy who had his career cut short by knee injuries.

Watching that defense is some of my first memories of Bills football.

wow, for a second I thought this was about the TE Nelson that we just drafted. "Former Bill? damn, that was a short career."
