We 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.)

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!

The 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!

We 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.

Though it felt a bit rusty, after a few weeks off, we couldn't help but get together and talk about what is front and center for most every Bills fan these days - The Toronto Initiative. The Bills claim it is all part of their master plan to regionalize the team in order to keep them in Western New York. Sports writers and paranoid Bills fans see it differently, fearing this is just a prelude to Canadian businessmen purchasing the team and moving them to Toronto after Wilson dies.

We BBR guys go over the available information, and add our two cents to the mix.

In this show we discuss:

• Bills News: The Toronto Initiative
  
• Greg makes another Bold Prediction
  
• New England Patriots Breakdown: Super Bowl Blunder and Spygate Continues

Even in the off-season, we want to hear from you! Please do send us your comments or questions regarding Bills football to our mail, or call the LISTENER HOTLINE 24/7 at (716) 989-4180. We'd love for you to join the conversation! And, always better to keep it "pithy". Really.

I (Greg) was a guest on The Dallas Cowboys Star Report once again last night. I was invited back, and was glad to do it. We had a blast reliving a crazy, crazy game! No, the Bills did not get the 'W' but we sure had fun!

Enjoy the extra Bills talk again! Go Bills!

Brian Moorman was our guest on this special edition of the Buffalo Bills Review! Brian discusses his P.U.N.T. Foundation, which helps kids with cancer and their families in all sorts of ways. And he talked about this year's Bills team, and the hit he took in the Pro Bowl last year, and lots more. Great, great interview with a great guy.

One of the things we learned from this show was that we can set up our own fund raising site for his organization, and so we created the Buffalo Bills Review Fund Raising Page! You can read more about it at our news section.

Links from this show:

• Brian Moorman's P.U.N.T. Foundation
  
• Kicking for Kids 2007
  
• Buffalo Bills Review Fund Raising Page
  

Enjoy the interview, it's a great listen. And do help out with Brian's organization if you can. Lots of ways to join in!

Oh, and don't forget our own John Dupra did an "Ode to Brian Moorman" not long ago in our articles section. It's quite odd, but certainly relevant to this special edition BBR. Well, maybe relevant is the wrong word... :-)

NEXT SHOW: August 27th

Thanks for joining us for season three of the Buffalo Bills Review: a show by Bills fans, for Bills fans!
