Greg’s Big Announcement

As you have heard by now on Show 5.03, Greg has announced his retirement from the Buffalo Bills Review. After four fun years of talking Bills football, he is laying down the microphone.

Here is the statement he read on the final show (minus a few ad libs…)

To the BBR listening (and participating) audience.

In August of 2005 I had a fun idea, pitched it to my brother in law (Uncle Josh, for those who have been with us that long) and later to The Drake… and thus was born Buffalo Bills Review. Seemed like a fun idea, even if no one would listen.

Well, we were wrong. In the first couple weeks we started getting emails. People loved the show. We had well over a hundred people downloading our shows… Sports Illustrated even featured us as one of four podcasts worth listening to!

It’s taken off from there… we have met up for two years at Bills game (the BBR game!) … we’ve had listeners from all over the world participating in the show. We’ve had lots of great current and former Buffalo Bills join us on the show since that first year. We’ve had fun Bills fans like the president of VH1 on the show (Hey, Tom…)

We’ve had J.P. Losman. Nuff said. 🙂

But in this coming season, Season 5 of the Buffalo Bills Review – four full years after we recorded the first show… we will not have me.

Effective immediately, I’m laying down my microphone, and will no longer be hosting this #1 Bills show on the internet. I may keep writing articles (not sure yet) but I will no longer be doing the show, at the mic, or in the mixing/engineering/podcast/website running duties.

The show may continue. We are not shutting down BBR just yet. That’s not set at the moment, so we won’t go into any detail there. We’ll make any pertinent announcements via the BBR website (or Facebook page).

I would like to say thanks. Thanks for listening. For contributing. For having fun with me, with us. Thanks to my co-hosts over the years. Thanks much to our special guests. I’ve had a blast – and if I had the time to give to it, I’d certainly continue. But my growing family needs me (and I need them) 🙂 So, with regret (but knowing it’s the best thing to do…) I lay my microphone down.

Can’t wait for this Bills season… as with every Bills season! I’m a big Bills fan, and will continue to be!

BBR will take it’s normal off-season break – post-draft to training camp. We’ll see how it comes out on the other side. For now… for me…

Thanks, goodbye, and Go Bills!

BBR Listeners Business Website Updates

Click and Sign Up to Support BBR

Hey BBR listener/visitor.

I recently reconfigured our pages to include the banner ads at the top. Did you notice? 🙂 They are all services which we (at least, I, Greg) recommend. If you accept our recommendation, and click through the banner and sign up for the service or shop at the store or whatever… you will be supporting BBR. Most of it is small stuff, but some are bigger chunks. So, you get a great service (or perhaps do something you already do, like shop at Amazon?) and BBR gets paid. We fund the show out of our own pockets but this is a way you guys could easily help out!

If you are so inclined, click on a banner of interest and sign up for what they are offering. We’d be very appreciative.

Bills football is just around the corner! Go Bills!!!

New BBR T-Shirts!

Pink BBR Shirts!Yes folks, they are finally here! You can order your very own Buffalo Bills Review T-shirts. Printed when you order in Geneseo, NY by LPTees. They do quality work for a decent price.

PURCHASE T-SHIRTS HERE

We have a few options for these t-shirts. You can purchase either the design with the larger full-color logo on the front (the samples we were sent are missing the white outline, but you will get the correct version), or you can select the smaller, 2-color logo on the pocket. The back is the same on both shirts. (Pictured on the Navy photo to the right.) The other option you then have is the color. You can choose pink (I believe it’s Azalea, actually) or Navy Blue.

Shirts are also avilable in multiple sizes. Youth small, medium and large. Adult small, medium, large and extra large. (Bigger sizes are also available, please click on the “additional charges” button, and add one charge (it’s just a dollar) per larger shirt ordered.)

Navy Blue BBR Shirts!Shipping is also an issue, with BBR listeners being distributed around the globe. We will include four options below. Two domestic (US) and two international rates. Please choose the correct one and add it to your cart. This is the best (easiest) way to do this with the PayPal shopping cart.

If you do not have PayPal, don’t worry. PayPal allows you to process your orde using a credit or debit card. And it can accept all sorts of currencies. Another plus. It’s the best way to make transactions online!

If you have any questions about the shirts, please do contact us. We’ll answer best we can.

Thanks for helping us out with your purchase, and by wearing the shirt around town! Spread the word and let every Bills fan know about the show by Bills fans, for Bills fans!

Lend Your Support

As you know, the Buffalo Bills Review is not done by professional media, who are supported by major ad revenue and large corporate sponsors. We’re just Bills fans, doing a Bills fan show. Glad to have you aboard.

In the past, we have offered you the opportunity to make a donation to the show, to help us cover our costs. Many thanks to those of you who have helped us out in that way. You can still do that, if you’d like. We have three buttons: montly donation, annual donation, and a one-time donation. Anything is certainly appreciated.

But we have a ton of new ways you can support the show, and none of them involve you giving up MORE money out of your pocket. 🙂

CLICK THE ADS
There are many different services for which BBR is an affiliate. From the popular Netflix, to Amazon.com, to a quite relevant StubHub.com… you use these services, and BBR is paid a commission – on something you were already going to buy! Definite win-win.

The ads run down the right side of our pages. Scroll down (or up?) and check them out right now. Good stuff!

They are all very useful, good services. Who doesn’t use Amazon?!! So if you’ll remember to click through those ads as much as possible, you’ll be supporting the Buffalo Bills Review when you do!

T-Shirts Coming Soon
Due to various internet and server outages and changes, I have not been able to put together the page for ordering BBR T-shirts, but they are coming! And they will be posted here! (Probably have their own page, too, I guess…) There are Navy shirts with a small BBR logo, and Pink shirts with the full-size BBR logo. Fun stuff! A fun way to support BBR not just with the T-shirt purchase, but by wearing it, and being a living, breathing, walking around advertisement!

Spread The Word
The other way you can support the show is to spread the word. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your enemies. Well, at least friends and family. Send them the link. Put it in your e-mail signature! Put it on your website! (We’ve made it a little easier, maybe more fun, with our promote page with code for images that link back to BBR. More to come!)

Review Us!
iTunes offers you the chance to review our show… go there and leave a nice review. More review = more listeners = more fun. 🙂 You can also leave reviews for us at PodcastAlley.com (vote for the show right off of our home page). Any other spots? Let us know.

So many ways to help… thanks for listening to the show, and for helping us keep it going, and improve it along the way!

Go Bills!!!
