    Look at the Helmet that Kemp is holding

    If you look at the main page that has the exclusive story called "Political Football"

    Does that sticker of the Buffalo on the helmet look like a skeleton?
    Seriously did they have some form of different style for that year?
    That looks like a collectible to me

    GO BILLS
    On May 12, 2004 the Buffalo Bills welcomed their newest fan, and our son T-4.
    One amazing thing to say about the birth of my son is that on the day we found out we were going to be parents is opening day for the 2003-04 season the day the Bills destroyed the Pats 31-0. It couldn't have been a happier day for me.
    Needless to say the Pats beat us on the last day of the season by the identical score and unfortunately won another ring, never the less the traditon in my family continues.
    At least while you live under my roof your a Bills fan.

    It's the glare shining off the helmet.

    I don't know why that pic is in black and white.

    Thanks for pimping my article though!

        Yea its a glare for sure. Look at the area where the front legs are you can tell its real bright looking...

          I was looking for a pic of kemp in washington DC- came across this one with the helmet and the memorial behind him. Bills Player- Politician- Bills Helmet- it was perfect. I beleive it was once a football card.

          It's in black & white because I could not find a color version. Once I outfitted the rest of the article with Nixon, Regan, & Ford- those were all in B&W so the Kemp photo in B&W all tied it together.

          I was going to put in Dubya throwing a football at a campaign stop- but because it ws the only color photo, because it was a phoney premise & photo shoot ( the other photos were of Presidents either playing or actually talking to a football team) I decided it was out of place. It would have really messed up the composition- it just looked out of place.

          Overall, i was pleased with the way the pics came out.

              holy crap, I have that card. I also have the OJ one from the Pro Line series.

                If you can scan it so we have a better copy- I would love that!
