Hello all 2,106 NYC Bills fans!

Looks like we have our Franchise QB in EJ Manuel, but like with every draft, its not worth getting excited until we see how they perform on the field. Somebody in the Tribeca area must be excited, a fellow fan is having a little fun with some construction wall sites I’ve noticed commuting to/from work. Check them out, one is right across from the Ghostbuster’s Firehouse:

No, its not me, but I love whoever it is! And if you need another reason to get excited, the Buffalo Philharmonic is in town TONIGHT playing at Carnegie Hall! How awesome is that? They are hands down one of the best philharmonics in the nation, and something all current and former Buffalonians should take pride in. Go support them as tickets are still available, here are the details:

Hello all 2,110 Bills Fans!

Wait, what… The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra is coming to New York City in May? You announce this on the day of the draft? Are you crazy?

Yes. Yes. Hey, watch it there buddy.

The good people at the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra want you to know that they are coming to Carnegie Hall, and all of Western New York is lining up to support this historic performance. Even the Bills have signed on as an official sponsor!

There isn’t much time, so I wanted to send this out today. Even if it IS the day of the draft and our annual draft party.

Hello all 2,112 NYC Bills fans!

We’re just over 48 hours away from finding out what the Bills will do with the #8 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. I’m writing to ya’ll from Austin, Texas, where on my Jetblue flight down here I watched the “experts” say Buffalo WILL take a QB, and whoever they take WILL be a massive reach as apparently this QB class is terrible…maybe the worst ever. My opinion – if the Bills have a QB they LOVE, that they KNOW can take us to the Super Bowl, and he’s there at #8…TAKE HIM. Nobody will care if it was a reach if he pans out. On the other hand, if there isn’t a QB in this class that they feel can take us to the Super Bowl…then DON’T TAKE A QB. Build elsewhere, do a year with Kolb, let fans scream at you and get your man next year. If the Bills do either of those, I’m happy.

Below are the details for the party. I’ll be there hanging with the dudes who run http://www.BuffaloWins.com and www.deargodwhyussports.com who will be live tweeting/blogging from McFadden’s.

April 25 – Thursday: McFadden’s will have the first round of the Draft televised with sound starting at 7pm, first pick at 8pm. From 7-11pm, the bar will offer $3 import drafts (including Blue), half priced drink specials, and free wings!

April 26 – Friday: Same special with wings from 6-11pm for rounds 2-3 and will have the sound on shortly before/after the Bills pick (keep in mind its Friday night)

April 27 – Saturday: All-you-can-drink/wing specials we use during the season from 11-4pm. The pricing can be found here:
https://nycbbb.com/features/drink-specials-times/

As a reminder, its also our 12 year anniversary here at NYCBBB, so be sure to toast the disgusting fact that we have yet to watch a playoff game on 42nd and 2nd. But also toast the visions of the debacle it will be when we do.

GO BILLS!
GO SABRES!!

Hello all 2,121 NYC Buffalo Bills Fans!

Its that time of year again, where the Bills draft a bunch of guys and for a couple weeks we feel like we’re a contender again! Until the season starts. Perhaps the Bills ARE ready to turn it around this year under new Coach Doug Marrone, although a having salesman running the team will always worry me. With the cutting of Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Bills are poised to take a QB early in the draft for the first time since JP Losman. And Trent Edwards. And trading for Drew Bledsoe. If anything, it should make for an exciting draft party!

As always, come on down to McFadden’s to watch the Bills make their selections with hundreds of your fellow Bills fans. This event is actually open to none Bills fans, so its a good excuse to bring along those buddies you never see on Sunday afternoons during the season. Here are the details:

We’ll also be celebrating 12 years of NYCBBB, which is also just a painful reminder of the # of years we’ve gone without being able to watch a playoff game at McFadden’s or Calico’s. Its getting harder and harder to maintain my 6-year-old as a Bills fan.

My god, I’m Negative Nelly aren’t I. Look what you’ve done to me Buffalo Bills!! Why has thou forsaken me?!!!

Anyways, enjoy your Easter Holidays, we’ll reach out again prior to the draft.

GO BUFFALO!
