The Buffalo Bills Made Me Have the Best Weekend Ever

A few months ago I recieved a text from Jeremy that said "We Have to go to the Bills/Jags game." For those of you that know me well, you know that I get very hype off of positive commands. For example "Bart, you HAVE to take this shot since the Bills just won," or my Doctors at Duke saying,"Bart you will smile again," after my facial paralysis surgery.

Anyway, I responded to Jeremy's text "I swear we are going because I love the Bills more than life." Through the following weeks we were able to get Andrew, Matt, and Jordan to go with us.

Last Saturday arrived (Sept 13) and I was very excited. I knew I was going to be around other people that loved the Bills. Being in North Carolina, everyone I know gets VERY tired of me talking about the Bills all the time. I will admit that is pretty much all I talk about. My brother is not even a Bills fan and he has to hear it everyday when we work out. Out of the 90 minutes we work out, I talk about them about 60 minutes. I then think about them for 27 minutes, and work out for three minutes.

Anyway, back to the story. Jeremy pulls up in my yard with our crew. We then put my Bills magnets all over the truck and head to Jacksonville. For eight hours all we talked about was Buffalo football. We arrived in Jacksonville and Christina's apartment (which she was nice enough to let us crash), then we got ready to go out. We all wore our Bills stuff to the bars (I wore my O.J Simpson t-shirt) and I figured someone would try to fight us sooner or later.

We went to a really nice bar that was outside. It was a perfect night. They would not let Matt in because he had on a t-shirt that he had made with a sharpie. I talked the bouncer into letting me buy a shirt for Matt from the bar. He agreed. We had a few drinks then decided to go somewhere else.

The next place was a little more wild. Jeremy and I were doing our normal thing.We were yelling "f*ck the Jaguars," "sweep the leg," "nice shirt f**," (if someone had on a Jags shirt). I went to the bathroom and by the time I came out I heard some shocking news.Of all people Andrew had been kicked out of the bar. Andrew, who teaches fifth grade and is the nicest friend I have, was kicked out.

I walked outside and he was yelling in a bouncers face "You just kicked me out cause I'm a Bills fan," screamed. "You are a fa**** and the Bills are going to kick the Jags f*ckin ass tomorrow."

I have to admit...my heart swelled up with pride. I couldn't let Andrew be alone so I told the bouncer he looked like the guy from Beetle Juice then I started singing the Buffalo Shout song remixing it will all curse words. They kicked me out too, then Matt took off his "new bar shirt" and threw it at the bouncer's feet. The Bills Backers of Greenville N.C. had taken over Jacksonville. We left and went to another bar. We had made some friends that loved the Bills so they came too. It ended up being a great night.
