Thurman Thomas!!!

He was kind enough to take a few minutes out to sign our autographs and have a brief discussion at the Bills-Jets tailgate in Toronto. The man is a class act that current NFL'ers can learn from. I don't want to jinx things, but he's also promised us an interview at his home in Buffalo. The Thurmanator is one of a kind!

YOU KNOW HOW COLD IT IS OVER THERE?!?! heck, standing outside signing autographs could be dangerous to your health.

I met Thurman and some other Bills of his era at the HOF when he got inducted. Real class act and that team stayed tight together even after all these years. He was posing for pictures with anyone and everyone and dragging Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly, Don Beebe, Marvcus Patton, all these guys into the pictures.

Patton is a GREAT guy. If you ever find yourself in northern VA, he owns a sports bar in Springfield/Alexandria called Lucky's. Awesome place to watch a game, at least it was when I was last there, kind of like Dave & Busters but less kid-infested.

Great story, my friend. Wasn't Marvcus Patton's mom a football player of some sort? lol

if they ran like Thurman they would be deadly but still need a quarterback
