I ran into Jim a few years ago in New York and talked with him for a long time about his time with the Bills.
In fact, we talked for so long I had to make him leave so he wouldn't miss his flight home.
He is a super guy. Very soft spoken and self effacing.
He has always been astounded at the level of support the Bills fans provide, and constantly promotes the organization to NC State players.
I still have his email and cell no.
If it's OK, I'll send him an email expressing the site's congrats on his award.

Hopefully, I'll be there too, since I plan on going to 3 games at RICH this year (Jaguars, Cardinals, Steelers).

The big question is...where the hell are they going to put his name? The ring is full.

I think that's a great idea! I think he'd like to know that fans still appreciate him.

If you want, I'm pretty sure I can get him here for a chat.
He still owes me a favor.

I was thinking about those boxes...however..they are sponsored by Choice One and M&T and have HUGE signs stating that and I bet both companies pay a ton of money to put their names on there.

Is there any real interest in this, or just a couple guys?

If so, I'll see what I can do.

I think you guys would be quite surprised to see him. He's down from his playing weight, but still has forarms like Popeye.
He is truly a soft spoken gentleman.
