It wasn’t, do you want Option A or Option B?; it was do you want Option A or not? If Option A is voted down, then they have no solution…and almost no time to come up with anything better. Most teams probably voted “yes” just to get it over with. Bastards. 😠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I read there were other options discussed one of which would have been a coin flip to decide the winner of the Bills vs Bemgals game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done electrically and tabulates as votes are cast. Doubtful anyone would have known who was doing what—officially that is. However, semi- like Congress, everyone knows the votes before the measure is put to the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebengal Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 A friend of mine and his son were down at the game. His son always gets a mini helmet for the opposing team and gets autographs on it before the game and then posts pics to opposing fans' sites. He got Hamlin's signature on the helmet before the game and my friend got a pic of Hamlin signing it and a pic of the helmet. His son posted it on the Bills Mafia site and is getting offers to sell it. The most recent offer was $3000.00. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Kind of on-topic...although the National Hockey League never mix-and-matched a Playoff for him: On February 8th, 1972, Flyers goalie Bruce Gamble suffered a heart attack while in net vs. the Canucks, and went on to finish the game. After the game and after reaching Oakland with the team, Gamble complained of chest pains and was sent to an Oakland hospital. It was found out that Gamble had suffered a heart attack during the Vancouver game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in modern times a guy like Patrice Bergeron is an absolute animal. Won a cup in 2013 with broken rib, separated shoulder and a pinhole puncture in a lung. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
