Hey guys

I figured I would share a little something with you tonight. I was invited with my boss to a reception tonight for Shula's steak house it was there 10 year anniversary in Tampa tonight. There was over 300 people invited and I was 1 of 12 people invited in a private room with HAll of Fame coach Don Shula and his son David Shula. I have to say these might be the classiest guys I have ever been around. 1 other guy who works for Don was also from Buffalo and DOn was talking to the table about his trips to the Buff. He said it was one of the hardest places he has ever played. He said Buffalo fans are as dedicated as any fans in the NFL......

I will say Don hasnt changed a bit he was talking about the superbowl and, what he thought about the Dolphins this year!!!!!

That's awesome to have a chance like that. We need to set something like that up for when the Bills visit TB next season :up:

I will never, ever set foot in a place owned by Shula.

Your Bills fan membership card should be revoked. Stat.

Your Bills fan membership card should be revoked. Stat.I worked at the Shula's steak house in Fl. for 4 years. He and his son were the classiest guys I've ever met. They were both bills fans when Jimmy Johnson was the HC of the fins (true story, just add jets and pats) .

Don Shula is the anti-christ. Don't be fooled by the deception.

Funny...I thought Bill Bellichek was....

For some reason I never hated Don Shula. I have hated lots of other coaches....Jimmy Johnson, Dave Wannstedt, Chuck Knox, The Tuna, John Gruden, etc etc....

I'm agreeing with EE on this one...the 'Fins are never allowed to win anything and Shula is never to be praised.

Getting to serve Shula must have really been an experience for a Bills fan. Should have slipped him a roofie.

That's good to hear.

I always thought Shula Sr. was a real down to earth sort, but you can't tell very well from the limited view of television. So many people that get a taste of fame are complete *******s. After meeting a few sports celebs when I was a kid I just stopped even bothering anymore because they were so repulsive personality wise. I'm glad Shula wasn't like that because he's one of only three Fish I ever really liked.
