The NFL is no position to alienate any in-person fans, lol.

Legendary tailgater?

I want to see footage of people doing shots from a bowling ball.
The way I'm picturing it seems outrageously unsanitary

There is always someone with too much power making no problem into 'a problem'. Then some moderate point of view needs to come and save the day. Glad this doesn't happen too often in America.

Don't do it.

You know, when you say not to do it it makes us want to do it more.

That's the kind of thing that's going to make me go back to drinking.

Well the first part happens quite a bit. The second part, not so much.

I theorize that it's someone in a do-nothing high paid position justifying their jobs most of the time. By the time I'm in my 60s I expect that football will be played on a giant mattress and everyone wearing 50lbs of Nerf gear. Concessions will be limited to water and Saltines and cheering will be outlawed punishable by a $10,000 fine and a healthy tazerin'

According to the espn article he spends $1500/yr on the Polish cherry liquer. How badly is this guy getting ripped off? Although it is one of the few things that make Bills games bearable.

Seriously, if they didn't allow Bills fans to get seriously blasted for hours before game-time, I don't know how anyone could bear to watch them.

A sober viewing of Bills football is not something that anyone would care to experience.

The No Fun League strikes again. All those people dressed up like empty seats are unusally quiet.

They had better lay the fark off of Pinto Ron
 
2010-09-19 12:09:48 PM
He's awesome, and an institution. And for the record he cleans the bowling ball with disinfectant after every shot.

that dude rules.

Whose bowling ball is this?

Yours, dude.

I've taken these shots. They're delicious, fun to do, and there's no reason that any one form of legal drinking should be allowed and another should be banned. Bowling ball shots are no different than a normal shot, save for the container. Bills tailgates are a bright spot in an otherwise dreary organization right now and it seems like what we do at our tailgate should be an issue for the local law enforcement, not the new family friendly No Fun League.

/Go Bills.

Pinto Ron should not be banned for something as silly as this - especially when his car is a mobile biohazard lab. I want to shove that 17-year-old gallon of milk down his throat.

He was pouring shots from Mike Tolbert?

Leave Ken alone. Seriously, tailgating is the only part of a Bills game that is fun.

As someone who just sat through today's abortion, I can verify your assertions.

I'm a Jets fan who travels to Buffalo every year for the game. Bills fans are, and it's no contest, the best tailgaters I've yet seen in the NFL.

thanks to winter we know our food and beer very well. not to mention terrible football teams.

The NFL tried to make Kenny a convenient scapegoat after profiting off of him by featuring him on NFL Films. He is not the source of the ridiculous amounts of drinking at the Ralph. The bowling ball shots are a novelty. The tailgate is really about the grilling on the pinto and the goofy traditions. Ken himself doesn't even really drink on game days except for a bowling ball shot or two. Interesting how the NFL went after him without really consulting the team though.

You are supporting evidence in my case that Jets fans are actually pretty decent human beings compared to the rest of our AFC East counterparts.

Srsly, Bills tailgates are f'ing amazing. I can only imagine how much more fun they would be if we actually started winning again.

To call the Bills' performance today an abortion would be like calling Minnesota's loss to the Dolphins a humane execution.

It was shooting a pregnant chick in the gut. The Bills are just that bad.

It's like one day the league officials woke up and decided "How the hell can we piss off our fans to the point they walk away from the game?"

Going to game costs an insane amount and now televised games are kind of starting to slide into higher tier cable packages. I'm curious to see the breaking point for fans. I'm a cheap bastard so I just converted over to college ball. First kickoff at noon and the Pacific games wrap up around 2 am or so my time. Out of that slate you're assured 2-3 decent games. Then just spend Sunday doing all the chores around the house.

/if the NFL thinks I'm paying a premium to see the Lions in HD on some fancy network, they're crazy
