Twelve seasons without the playoffs, with losing records the last seven, might have discouraged many a Bills fan. Not Kenny Johnson of Rochester.

Today will be the 300th straight Bills game, home and away, Pinto Kenny will have attended. As far as anyone knows, that’s a Bills and NFL record. If not, it’s still a remarkable achievement.
“My goal [in 1994 when the streak started] was 16 games in a row. I just exceeded expectations,” the 55-year-old software engineer said Saturday. Johnson, who drives a 1980 Ford Pinto to the games, was already on the scene in Orchard Park, near Ralph Wilson Stadium.


:beers: Kenny :clap:

Congrats Kenny!

In a game last December, he bestowed the honour on me to be the omelet maker on the Pinto.

That was fun.
