    Promo film from 1972 ... building of Rich Stadium

    it reminds me of the "Dharma Initiative" film from the TV show Lost

    Brief film showing construction phase of Rich Stadium in 1972. Narrated by Jefferson Kaye.

They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

      "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

      "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

      "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

      Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

      "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

            Wow, Jeff Kaye had some pipes. He wasn't John Facenda, but still pretty damn good.

            I hope, if the Bills do get a new stadium, the dig it out like they did in Orchard Park. I've gone to some stadiums where getting to your seat is like climbing Mount Everest.

              Miami for example. That place had the biggest escalator I've ever seen in my life.

                  This was awesome, thanks for sharing.
                  True fans want wins, not draft picks.

                    My father took me there when they where just digging out the bowl for the field. Amazing when I think of it.

                      If I remember right, Charlotte doesn't even have an escalator. Or if they do, it only goes up to the very bottom of the "cheap seats," which go up another 5 miles into the sky.
