Re: RIP Ernie Warlick
Ernest "Ernie" "Big Hoss" Warlick, RIP
He played a little before I started watching football, so unfortunately I never got to see him play. He was an AFL All Star every one of the 4 years that he played for the Bills, including the 2 Championship seasons. He was 30 years old when he came to the Bills, which I'd guess is why he only played for 4 years. He ended up with a career 17.2 ypc average, but from what I'm learning, is that he was a key blocker in the Buffalo run game, helping pave way for the Great Cookie Gilchrist for the 3 years he was here. Maybe one day we'll see his name up on the Wall.

And with people complaining about the Ralph, his death reminded me about going to those games at the Rockpile. Talk about a Stadium falling apart. And rowdy behavior by fans, guys would bring in bottles of beer by the case & even Kegs of beer. As a 9 year old kid I can guarantee I was exposed to much more than kids are today at the Ralph & I LOVED it, but I guess at 9 years old we were tougher than many young men in their 20s today.
