What makes Bills tick? Football, fun, food, Fitzpatrick

They help waitresses assemble their tables into their usual position. Then the men who have helped restore hope to one of the NFL’s most tortured franchises begin their weekly Uncle Joe’s ritual, which is to say, they lay waste to the menu, their waistlines, cholesterol levels, each other’s psyches, etc.

"You need to be christened,” Fitzpatrick says to me as I sit down. I’m a little frightened about what I’ll have to eat for that. But he really means Kristined. Kristin works at Uncle Joe’s. In a stage whisper, he adds: "She’s going to touch you.”

The only person who approaches them is a woman who appears to be about 80 and wants to introduce her mother, who is 101.

Fitzpatrick addresses the daughter about the mother. “I’m a married man, but I was about to ask her out on a date.”

I always thought this is one of the most overlooked factors on what makes a good team. You need to be a team on and off the field. Chemistry matters.

I love the bond between QB and O-line. If the O-line doesn't like the QB, they are less likely to want to block good for him.
