    I know that we live in this post-post modern society where anything and everything has no meaning and only the hip meaning we as a 140 character nation allows something to have, but things have meanings.

    Why would I kid about something like this? Crack a history book. Not kidding and never gonna call the Bills defense that even if Mario or anyone on the team wants me to. Is that how the group's name originiated...who knows, its lost to the dust of history. But I do think that Robert Wuhl is correct when he said that when the legend becomes reality, the legend gets printed.

    The instant association will be with the Bob Marley song. Go listen to the lyrics of that song...not a happy song and not one i want to listen to at Bills games...but its got a happy beat, but like a lot of Reggae (and Blues music for that matter) they aren't happy songs.

    And frankly at a Bills game on Sunday, I want to be happy. I want "Surfin' Bird....not having to think about, "Stolen from Africa brought to America. Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for surivial. Said he was a Buffalo Solider, win the war for America."

    But hey, call me the crazy one, I've got broad shoulders, if need be.
    ADOPT A BILL:
    Cordy Glenn - let him play left tackle people. Geesh!

    My expectations for our new coach are simple.
    1. Have the ability to locate decent stop gap players that are better players than the last ones who were on this roster for far too long.
    2. Win as many games as you can, but when you lose ... get beat, don't follow in the steps of your predecessors who seemed to try and find new and inventive ways to loose winnable games.

    Sorry McCall it looked like you said it was a happy song, maybe I didn't see the sarcasm.

    I don't think it's a rational nick name either, sorry for misreading the post!

    I prefer "The Cold Front" because it refers directly to the D-line. Although, it would be cool to here Bob Marley after each sack. Either one will work.

    If Chris Kelsay gets a sack they can play Tom Petty's line "Even the losers get lucky some time."

    Nope you're on the mark, I missed a word in my post, so my bad.

    IMO, its just not that creative a nickname anyways. I like that idea of the Bills playing a game in September with a kickoff temp. of 65 degrees, but there being a "blizzzzzzard" coming down in Orchard Park this September afternoon.

    Global warming is affecting the world, except in the OP where there's a cold merciless winter cold front lead by King Dareus and the Dynamic Williams duo.

    Thank you! Someone knows American history. Kyle Williams isn't black by the way.

    How about "The Depends Defense"! The Bills home crowd can hand out Depend undergarments to the opposing team’s offence as they enter the field at home games incase they pee themself.

    Wait I take it all back...out team was named after a famous buffalo (bison) hunter, so it does kinda fit.

    Darn. (sarcasm on.)

    I still don't see the tsunami name though. Can someone explain why they would be compared to a tsunami? I know they could crush the qb and take the line over like a wave but were in Buffalo not the pacific. Buffalo soldier will be unfortunately looked at for the wrong reasons by the media, I want good press for the Bills. Plus where do kyle and kelsay fit?

    The Cold Front has such a nice ring to it. Plus it ties them to the city. Much like the Steel Curtain in Pittsburgh.

    Every week, the Cold Front will be moving in on a new city and a new QB. And what's most people's reaction to a Cold Front moving in on them?

    The Cold Front is pretty cool.
