I often say the wrong thing when I get emotional. Many of you may know how this goes. You've had a bad day at work, and once you walk in the door at home the slightest annoyance can set you off.
For me, when I'm at work and people are listening to me when I'm talking, this trait can be problematic. Like on Wednesday.
Beckett price guides are nice as, well, guides. But a lot of factors play in to the value of a card that the price guide can't help you too much with.
Take this 2005-06 Alexander Ovechkin Ultimate "Debut Threads" card. It books at $40. I opened it from a pack about two years ago. I put it up on eBay a couple weeks ago and immediately started getting offers for the card.
The Classic Bills take an 8-2 record after last week's win in Miami into Houston for a matchup with the 1990 Oilers.
The Bills entered the '90 playoffs as the top seed in the AFC, as a team with definite Super Bowl aspirations. But as fans from that era remember, it took a few weeks that season for the Bills to take on the look of a champion.
The Classic Bills fell to 6-2 with their loss to the 1996 Patriots last week. This week, they're back on the winning track with a well-known win over John Elway and the 1987 Denver Broncos.
November 8, 1987 was a day Bills fans still remember well as the day Cornelius Bennett made his Buffalo debut.
One of the hardest things about making my Classic Bills schedule work out -- each game fitting in on the calendar in order, two games against each division opponent, etc. -- was figuring out where I was going to fit Foxboro in.
The Bills haven't won in Foxboro since 2000. When the Bills were a Super Bowl team they rarely played a good, interesting game on the road in New England.
The "Classic" Bills are 5-1 after a thrilling 26-24 win in San Diego last week against the 1980 Chargers. Make that 6-1 after one of my favorite Bills wins ever, a 37-14 Monday Night Football triumph over the Jets, October 17, 1988.
I loved this game. The Bills started 4-0 but showed some weakness in their ensuing two games.
The Classic Bills are 4-1 after last week's exciting 26-24 win over the 1980 Chargers. This week, we look back at their 1998 matchup with Jacksonville.
The '98 Bills were on the Classic schedule one other time, for their 34-33 loss to the Rams. That loss dropped the '98 Bills to 0-3, and it appeared that the Bills were on their way to back-to-back non-playoff seasons.
I turned 9 in 1980, so I don't have many personal memories of this Bills season. I wish I had more, because I don't think there were many better Bills teams than this one, or more fun.
The 20-game losing streak to the Dolphins, ended. Resounding home wins over two NFL dynasties, Pittsburgh and Oakland. A legitimate, proven head coach in Chuck Knox.
Some listeners have been pointing out to me that while they like the Classic Bills idea, the fact that all four games so far were played in the 1990s is a problem. I agree. I placed too much of an emphasis on the availability of re-watching these games online, or on tapes. Time to make good and go back to the white-helmet days.
The "Classic" Bills took the field for Week 4 against '96 Dallas with a 2-1 record, looking to bounce back off last week's last-minute loss to the underdog '98 Rams.
September 22, 1996 marked the Cowboys' first visit to Ralph Wilson Stadium since 1984. Aikman, Emmitt, Irvin, Switzer, Deion -- this was the only game they played here as a team.
A dream season is shaping up as the Bills opened with high-scoring, heart-stopping wins over Miami (1991) and San Francisco (1992). Our Week 3 matchup meets some of the same criteria.
Just as is the case with the 2009 schedule, the Classic Bills play a second NFC team by the third week of the season. It's the 1998 Bills against the St. Louis Rams. Remember this game?
In "Classic" Week 1, the Bills piled up a total of 582 yards on offense, a team record to this day. In "Classic" Week 2, the second game of the 1992 season, the Bills allowed 598 yards -- and still won. The Bills beat the 49ers at Candlestick Park 34-31 on September 13, 1992.
September 13, 1992 -- Buffalo Bills (1-0) at San Francisco 49ers. I look at it this way: What's the point of playing out a season's worth of classic Bills games if you're going to leave this one out? This game, dubbed the "No Punt Game", was one of the most entertaining games in Bills history, and I'd call it one of the top five NFL Games of the '90s.
Michael O'Keeffe, New York Daily News reporter and author of The Card, a book about the legendary Honus Wagner T-206 card, joins me this Saturday morning (July 20) at 8 on "The Hobby".
Any of you ever see a genuine Wagner? Sunday, I saw the one on display at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. That's my only brush. If you've seen one, tell me the story at thehobby@wgr550.com.
