    Question...
    
    	What is a Buffalo Bill?  Was it taken from the swine that roamed
    the west?

    >    	What is a Buffalo Bill?
    
    I already told ya, it's the invoice the waiter brings to the table
    after you've finished with your Bison Burger.
    
    Let's see....I know buffs have horns and are real hairy, or maybe they
    have hair and are real horny...but bills?  Maybe like a duck?  Hmmm...
    I think I saw one once back in the sixties that had a bill, but it was
    more like the beak on the Froot Loops bird, rather than yer classic
    duck bill.  Maybe I'm thinking of the flock of Flubbaloes we saw on the
    way to Woodstock.  Oh, thinking and remembering are so hard.

I will jump on this bandwagon.  The Bills are on a mission!!!!

    Wait for me! I want to catch a ride!
    
    Interesting point before the championship game...might have been on
    ESPN.  They think the name Buffalo slowly changed from what the
    original settlers called the city, Blue Flow, since it sits on the
    Niagra River and lake Erie.  (Buffalo has 35 miles of waterfront.)
    
    Bills is obviously in tribute to Buffalo Bill Cody...who had nothing to
    do with Buffalo, NY, spending most of his life in the Wyoming
    territory.
    
    I think Buffalo Bisons would have been a better tag, but who am I to
    say?  Bisons is, however, the name of the AAA baseball team there.
    
    Go Go Buffalo!
    
    	--dan'l

    	The previous reply is close.  Buffalo is named after the French
    words for Beautiful River (the Niagra River) "beau fluve" (sp?), which
    slowly turned into Buffalo.
    
        As for the game, if Buffalo scores early and is up by 2 or 3 TD's,
    which is very possible, it is OVER.

    More useless info gleaned w/o permission from The Woostah (MA) papah:
    
    The boys who used to work the Erie Canal liked to visit Buffalo,
    specifically Goose Island, which had a house of prostitution thereon.
    
    The song "Buffalo Girls Wontcha Come Out Tonight" is derived therefrom.
    
    I'll never be able to watch Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart singing that
    ditty in "It's a Wunnerful Life" again without thinking THAT THEY'RE
    SINGING SOME FILTHY SONG!!!  WHERE'S THE CHURCH LADY?

    RE: Previous notes
>Buffalo is named after the French words for Beautiful River (the Niagra River) 
>"beau fluve" (sp?), which slowly turned into Buffalo.

 Whilst in college in Buffalo, I took a course on Buffalo.  The professor
 claims that nobody knew for sure where Buffalo got its name but the
 Beau fleuve idea is the leading theory.  It is believed that French
 trappers called what is now the Buffalo River (NOT the Niagara) "Beau
 fleuve".  The Niagara only has fish in it, not much else would fare well
 in its VERY strong current.  But the Buffalo River was a small winding
 river that emptpied into Lake Erie and was probably of more interest to
 the trappers because of the other critters (beaver) that inhabited it.
    
 As for where the Bills name comes from, it's from Buffalo Bill Cody, as
 somebody else mentioned.  When I was a kid, I always wondered, "what the
 hell is a bill?"

    Ma name is Buffalo William F. Cody.
    
    Now, you can call me Buffalo William, or you can call me Buffalo Cody,
    or you can call me Willy F, or you can call me William Cody,
    
    But you doesn't have to call me Buffalo Bill!
    
    lEe - Go Bills, my all-time favorite team!

Quite obviously, I'm not on the Bills bandwagon, but I would like
to tell you of a somewhat interesting landmark in Buffalo.

In fact, it was about three blocks from where our own esteemed Mr Mazur
grew up....

It's called the Amigone Funeral Home....


Only in Beau Fleuve, folks...only in Beau Fleuve....

 I would like to make it clear that I am NOT jumping on the Buffalo Bills
 bandwagon.  I am a die-hard Bills fan.  I have my own limo.
 
 Bills by 4.

�    Kelly will be intercepted during Bills' first possession by Everson
�    Walls.  Field goal follows.  Bills will never get closer than 3...

Hawkster,

I predict that Everson `IgotitIgotit...oops' Walls will be responsible
forthe Bills first score.

    More useless information from the noozepapah:
    
    Buffalo is gearing up for the Super Bowl as the Erie County Water
    Authority will be monitoring the game to watch for commercial breaks,
    end of period side changes, timeouts and the like.
    
    Two water authority personnel have the job of adjusting the valves in
    the system to offset the pressure surges associated with mass flushings
    during these breaks.  Several mains were broken during the
    Flubbalo-Fish game.

    And that would no doubt put an end to the "Beau Fleuve" legend,
    wouldn't it ???

    re: Hawk
    
    Did you say the Giants are girly mons, sissies, and sync swimmers?
    They are known as "Tree_Dollah Bills" and are not welcome on the Manly
    Buffalo Bills Bandwagon.

    I *knew* you were from Ashtabula!  I partied there once during the

    re SuperBore
    
    How O how cain I root against a classy coach given to quoting from
    the Book of Chairman Bob?  By being my objectively analystical self,
    that's how: Bills beat the Jersey Giants by 10 with the boys in blue
    coming back to make it respectable.
    
    MrT

    
    	Hey Hawk, did ya notice how most of these wagon-jumpers also
    confess to rooting for the underdog, and that the Buffalo-chips
    are 6 point favorites? :)
    
    	As Arsenio would say:   Hmmmmm. :)
    
    						 glen j.
    

The Bills have been the underdog for 25 years, and I've been a fan since
conception.  I just don't see the Giants shutting the Bills down, they
couldn't do it the first game and that was at Giants Stadium!  If Kelly hadn't
gone down the Bills would have scored at least 31.  As soon as the nerves
settle down Buffalo will take command and win by 21.

Giants will get 17 AT THE MOST!

FYI a Bill is also a baby Buffalo.

    Has DrM jumped on a bandwagon yet?  All 17 of his favorite teams have
    been eliminated.

    Ever since his fave QB Worn Moon (tm) needlessly broke his hand 
    in relentless pursuit of dastisticks (tm) at the expense of team
    interest poor Midnight's been operating the horsie pooper scooper
    behind the wagon.
    
    MrT

    I have just decided that the Bills are NOT one of my favorite teams.
    My favorite teams are The N.Y. Giants, all of them.

Just a little correction there Hawk....

'Saw

    Well it was a rather good game, would have prefered that AFC won it but
    thats ok.  I said to take the giants and the pts, I wish I had bet on
    the giants to win outright....but  who new...Maybe the AFC will win at
    least a couple of SB's in the 90's...But I wont hold my breath.  It
    seems that the AFC either chokes hard or they come in as the favorite
    and defy all odds by blowing it....Thanks for the $$ buffalo..see you 
    next year...WHeres the predictions for the SB 26 go ?
    								MAB

    Well, the Bills could easily be back next year, and win it.
    
    Other AFC teams on the rise include the Dolphins, Raiders, and Chiefs.
    
    Then, there's always the up and coming Jets. I predict the Jets will
    make the super bowl this decade.
    
    JoJ

    Anyone notice Jim Kelly sporting his "DitkaDoo"?  My wife thought
    he looked like a nerd.  Atleast he wasn't spitting all over his
    shoes.
    
    Buffalo looked tough and seemed to have good depth.  Look for them
    to score some points this year.  Hopefully, they can toughen up
    on the run defense.
    
    Cowboy
    

    I like the Bills. They are unstoppable. Kelly is deity, Bruce Smith is
    the Irresistable Force, and they will score 100 points against someone
    this year.
    
    Take that to the bank.
    
    They will roll over all AFC comp - yes, I've seen the light w/r to the
    Oilers, and the Bills will take it all in a 16-0 season.
    
    And that's a fact.

    Doc, you were supposed to put this in the joke note, right?

Doc,

That's my team you're putting the curse on.  You're just jealous that they're
the only undefeated AFC team.  I think I am the ONLY die-hard 100% Bills fan
in this conference and you have to single me out with the Doc many zeroes whammy

See you in hell ;-)

    That's extremely kind of you Paul, but I'll pass. However, I will root
    for the Bills to blow away Denver - thus insuring a very competetive
    Super Bowl against Washington ...

Big Game --

I'll vouch for Paul.  I work with him, and he's a good guy.  He's a RON
mostly, and there is no more devout, total and complete Buffalo Bills
fan.

Paul is from Buffalo originally, and is our acknowledged expert on 
wings here in BMF.  He's also another homebrewer, so he's cool in my book.

So here's wishing Paul good luck...

       Where's Roy Swonger, he's a Bills fan too I think.

	Hi folks,

	  Yes, I've been here in Pittsburgh since early August, so
	I've been here all season long. Didn't go to the
	Steelers/Bills game - tickets to the Steelers are a tough
	buy, even though they are lousy. They're sold out forever.

	  Anyway, I am spreading the faith - had a MNF party for the
	Cinci game (not the KC game, thankfully!), and everybody in
	my class knows who the best team is. (Especially the Denver
	fan, heh heh) 

	  Looking forward to the superbowl - should be a really
	exciting game. I should be back at DEC in time to watch the
	Bills repeat in SB XXVII.

	Roy
