Buffalo Bills football is only 11 days away! How great is that?! And, even better is the fact that this team is looking really solid in their pre-season contests thus far. It could be really, really fun to watch them this year! Greg and John fly "solo" (or, "duo"?) tonight in an effort to overcome horrible schedule conflicts... the show must go on! :-)

In this show we discuss:
  • Game reviews: Pittsburgh and Indianapolis
  • Who Makes The Cut? (Predictions regarding the final 53-man roster.)
  • John Ruins The Surprise
  • Show Wrap Up: Visit the website, articles, BBR on Facebook, and some fun BBR News!

080820 :: Interview with Steve Christie [Show 4.08]

Buffalo Bills kicker Steve ChristieWe have another special episode of the Buffalo Bills Review! Former Bills place kicker, Steve Christie, joins us to talk Bills football: past, present, and future! Steve tells a few stories from earlier in his playing career, obviously we talked about kicking the winning FG in "The Comeback", and we discussed the pros and cons - and what has worked and what hasn't - with the "Toronto Initiative". Interesting thoughts from the Oakville, Ontario native.

Steve has always been a big supporter of Camp Good Days and Special Times, including an annual kicking camp he does in Rochester at St. John Fisher College. I also discovered (post-interview) that he is an artist. I followed this link from the Camp Good Days page and found a whole website full of fun Steve Christie stuff!

For another great (recent) interview with Steve, check out the multimedia section of the Buffalo Bills website. Click on the History tab down under the videos and you'll see it there. (Sorry... can't direct link to it.)

080815 :: Interview with The Ball Burglars [Show 4.07]

The Ball Burglar - BallBurglar.com
We have another BBR special episode for you this week! Greg, Dave and John got to talk with Chazz and Shaw of the Ball Burglars. We talk about Ball Burglar, secret code names, and of course... Buffalo Bills football!

The Ball Burglar is a mysterious Bills fan who decided he would offer to get Mr. Wilson's football back for him (it says "Wilson" right on the football...) if people would donate money to help sick kids in exchange for his services. This was back in 2004, and in one year (2003-2004) the Bills went from worst to first in takeaways! Nice job, Ball Burglar!

Jim Kelly Challege - BallBurglar.comThe Ball Burglars keep growing in number, and in donations. This year they are partnering with Jim Kelly and Hunter's Hope with a special challenge from Jim. Any Bills Backers chapter who collectively raises over $10,000 gets a chance to have Jim and Thurman Thomas - two Bills Hall of Famers! - visit their regular chapter meeting. Not a bad deal!

Fun show, and a great way to add even more fun to watching Bills football, and help out some sick kids and their families at the same time.

If you're interested in pledging to donate some money per takeaway, visit the Ball Burglar website, and click on the big PLEDGE button. When you select your Bills Backers chapter, you can pick "Buffalo Bills Review" from the drop down. Let's see how much BBR can raise to help Hunter's Hope this season!

Tom Calderone, VH1We have another BBR special episode for you this week! Greg & John got to talk with Tom Calderone, president of VH1 (and huge Bills fan!) about his role with VH1, his path getting there, some cool stuff they are doing, and of course... Buffalo Bills football!

Tom graduated from Buff State, and has been a Bills fan since the "OJ Era" and continues to support the team, even being in a spot on local TV and BuffaloBills.com for their "Your Story" promotion. (He's the "Lucky Baby" story.)

One of the cool things VH1 is doing that we can be part of is a campaign called, "Save The Music". We'll put a link here on our site for you to learn more, and get involved (or recommend a school they could help) if you are able.
