Most days, Frank Barber is a principal patrolling the halls at the Corning-Painted Post Middle School.
On Buffalo Bills game days, though, Barber becomes “Hannabill Lecter,” one of the most recognizable faces of Bills Mafia.
Barber’s signature look — blue face paint, Hannibal Lecter-style mask, intimidating shoulder pads on his 6-foot-6-inch frame, a chain around his neck — is hard to miss.
Amazon Prime cameras zoomed in on Barber during the Oct. 26 broadcast of the Bills-Buccaneers (https://www.the-leader.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2023/10/26/buffalo-bills-vs-tampa-bay-buccaneers-score-highlights-stats-sunday-night-football/71330126007/) game in Orchard Park. The shot prompted Good Morning Football (https://www.nfl.com/network/shows/good-morning-football) host Kyle Brandt to fire off a tweet describing Barber’s appearance, concluding “This is art.”
