That TV used to be in Ralph's office. It would fetch more than the pool table if auctioned off.

I'm thinking of getting one of these babies so I can record the games and watch them whenever I want to...

Kinda wild to think about all the electronics that have been invented since the Bills last made the playoffs. More people had VCRs and beepers than DVD players and cell phones.

Hmmm I never thought of that. I didn't have a cell phone or a DVD player the last time the Bills made the playoffs and DVR's were still a few years away.

I have shared this story before:

All of us remember exactly where we were during the Music City forward lateral game. I was sitting in my living room, with my wife holding our sleeping brand new infant, gently rocking her. The play happened and screamed out lout "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!", promptly woke up the baby, she started crying and my wife yelled at me for screaming, as if I wasn't already devastated enough.

That baby is going to college next year.

Perspective.

Man, oh, man.

I remember, too.

I was watching the game, and called my father right before the infamous kick-off. I was calling him to talk about the win, and the good feelings that would ensue about it. AS the phone rang, or thereabouts, the dreaded "Music City Miracle" happened. My dad answered the phone...and I mean he answered the phone literally seconds after it happened. He didn't wish to speak to me at that moment in time, and had to excuse himself. Said "I can't talk about this now." Then I stewed in my own juices...

True story.

Wow, that does put it in perspective. It is a miracle that this team has any fans under the age of 25 at all, and really those that do exist can probably only be attributed to Manson-level parental brainwashing at a young age.

Being a one team market with affordable tickets helps.

I was in the DC area from roughly 2001-2011 and Baltimore since then. As far as the NFL is concerned, it's one market with 2 teams, so everyone in both cities gets Redskins and Ravens games on national TV. The problem is that during the Bills' playoff drought, the Redskins have been barely better than the Bills (I think they have 3 playoff appearances and one was 2015 when the whole NFCE sucked and they got in with just one more win than the Bills had that season), whereas the Ravens have 2 Super Bowls and multiple other playoff appearances. On top of that, greedy-ass Dan Snyder has priced a lot of people out of the games, especially working class families. The tickets and parking are ridiculous (about 10 years ago, I went to a Bills/Skins preseason game with some people from this website, and we paid $50 to park in an office park so far from the stadium that we had to take a shuttle bus). Ravens games aren't cheap but they're much cheaper than the Skins.

So, local fans can spend less money to follow a better team with the Ravens. A lot of people in their mid-20's and younger from traditional Redskins markets like southern MD and northern VA are Ravens fans because they grew up watching the Skins lose and the Ravens win Luckily for Buffalo, we didn't have that competition in WNY.

True story.

I have a similar story, roles reversed. My mother called me just prior to the kick-off "What a great game, huh?". "It isn't over yet Ma." Balls
