Message: [QUOTE="Ouremblem, post: 3509675, member: 1831"] I used to live in Buffalo during the Bills glory years and was at a Raiders-Bills game in early December. A Raider fan walked by wearing a Howie Long jersey and some rowdy Bills fans shoved him and threw beer at him. A real big Bills fan got up and yelled at the rowdies to knock it off. They stopped and go “he’s a Howie Long fan” and this big guy in Bills attire yells “I like Howie Long!” And it got quiet and several other Bills fans said they liked him, too, and it stopped. I must admit I liked Howie, too. So glad that Bills fan put a stop to it. Al Kaline did a signing at a card show in Albany and told an endearing story. He said an impolite fan said to him once “You’re not half as good as Mickey Mantle”, and his reply was ”No one is half as good as Mickey Mantle”. He was as nice as you hoped he would be. [/QUOTE]
