How I became a Buffalo Bills fan
I mean, I was a mark from the beginning. In January 1991, I was seven years old.
My parents and grandparents all loved the Bills and we lived an hour from the stadium, watching all the games on television on Sunday. The Bills scored a ton of points, I loved Thurman Thomas and Bruce Smith especially, but all the Bills were gods. Seven, eight, nine, ten… My most formative years were spent going to Super Bowl after Super Bowl. I listened to the Comeback on the basement radio.
If I am being honest, it was probably the most connected I was to my dad, too. He worked nights in the winter, so I didn’t always get to see him at that time of year. But on Sundays, we watched the Bills. That continued when I’d be home from college and it was one of the things we talked about after I moved out.
I know I’m not alone. Share your stories below, folks.
