    This guy was a game changer. He was the Steve Jobs of sports, IMO. :rip:
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                        In a simpler era, the 1990s, when the Bills were great and before 1995 when my family bought DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket, an annual tradition was buying the yearly Bills hilite film.
