We are in Buffalo. Or to be more precise a city district called Heavensville. Like in all western NY regions life isn’t very easy in Heavensville with unemployment over 20% and almost the half of the population living in poverty. Heavensville is more like hell or at least a very drearily place to live. But let us take a closer look now and see what some of its habitants are doing:
We see a dark and bedraggled side street and two bad dressed men around a trashcan. They filled the trashcan with wood pieces and have made a fire and try to warm-up.
Jeff (takes a gulp out a bottle of beer in his hand): “My fellow, life is really hard. And this damn weather is already pretty cold for start of September. I ask myself how cold it will be in January if his frigging cold starts already now”. (Looks to the sky)
Hank: “Your right, man. Friggin’ cold already. Glad that we have our fire to keep our asses warm. Give me the beer, Jeff. (Takes a gulp from the beer)
Jeff: “I wished I hadn’t lost my job last month in the Cemetery”.
Hank (laughs): Digging around the death was nice, he?”
Jeff: “At least it was a job. You don’t have one for years if I am not mistaken, Hank”.
Hank: “Well, after I lost three fingers of my left hand in the slaughterhouse I was unable to find other jobs”.
Suddenly they hear a gun shooting and look around. After a while another man is approaching to the group.
Billy: “Hi, fellows. What’s up?”
Jeff: “Hello, Bill. Where are you coming from? Wasn’t that your gun we heard a few minutes ago?”
Billy (grins): “I liked his leather jacket”.
Hank: “Billy, Billy. But you should be more carefully. Is he dead?”
Billy (still grinning): “To hell, no. I just shut to the right of him and told him to give me his jacket. He is fine I am sure. But I think he will need new panties”.
They laugh.
Hank: “Well, I think it is time for an alternation from this boring and frustrating life”.
Billy: “You say it, man. Isn’t the NFL starting again in a few weeks?”
Jeff: “Yes, it is. The Bills could be brightening up our lives a little bit. I can’t await the season to start, man”.
Hank: “The Bills have a new owner. Man, I can’t imagine them without Ralph Wilson”.
Billy: “And the new owner is very young. He is a German or so”.
Jeff: “Yeah, but I think he was born in Buffalo or Rochester or so. I read that in the newspaper a few weeks ago”.
Hank: “I watched him a few times in the TV already. He has this ugly German accent. He looks very enthusiastic and seems to be full of beans. I hope he knows how to make things turn to the good for the Bills”.
Billy: “But Ralph Wilson was great, I will miss him”.
Hank: “But only till be late 90s. After that he had a very controversial way of leading the Bills I would say”.
Billy: “Yeah, right but don’t forget that we are a small market. I think he did everything to make the Bills always a competitive team. Sometimes they weren’t, but he definitely tried it”.
Jeff: “Does anyone know what this Mr.Billster is doing? I mean where is he getting all his money?”
Billy: “Hmm, I read a few months ago that he is making money with garbage”.
Jeff (laughs): “What?! With garbage??
Billy: “Not directly. I think he is making energy of the garbage. A biological way of energy production type of thing. Man, I dunno exactly.
Hank: “Man, I hope then he isn’t making garbage out of our Bills”.
They laugh.
Billy: “Can I have some of the Beer?”
Hank: “Sure, here it is”. (Gives him the bottle)
Billy: “Hey, Hank. When I look at you, I like your shoes”.
Hank: “Hey, Billy. Don’t do something crazy now”.
Billy (laughs): “Just kidding, man”.
Jeff: “But back to Mr.Billster. I liked most of the things he did so far. We have a young and promising team. Okay, maybe we are 1 or 2 seasons away from to be called playoff-bound but he is directing the ship into the right direction”.
Hank: “Still lot of holes in the team, Jeff. We are still missing a RE for the Defense and two OL players to be really a good team”.
Billy: “I dunno, I like RE Jeremy Mincey: I would love to see him starting for our Defense”.
Hank: “Then your are the only one I know of being happy with him. I heard the Bills are in a search for another veteran DE. Would be good if they could grab one more guy”.
Jeff: “Dont be so pessimistic about RE Mincey. He is a good rookie out of nowhere. I think the Bills grabbed him out of the undrafted in FA”.
Billy: “Jeff is right, Hank. Just wait and see if he can help us. We should give him one year to prove his qualities”.
Jeff: “Man, I have a story to tell you. Yesterday as I was in the beanery a few blocks down I really suddenly thought the sky is falling and the end of world is happening. As I sat there and wanted to eat my meal suddenly it became extremely dark. I was perplexed and dunno what to think of the situation. But then I looked to the entrance door and saw that it was just Buffalos DT Kris Jenkins who entered the room. I was eased and happy to see him. Man, I tell you he is a big man! He just wanted to ask for the way to the next McDonalds”
They smile and nod.
Billy (looks at his watch): Anyhow, we will see when the season starts how our beloved Bills will do. In about 20 minutes Mr.Parker is leaving his job and is heading for home. And I need to meet him before that happens. I liked his mobile phone”. (Leaves)
Hank and Jeff smile.
Hank: “Good luck, Billy. And you always know where you can find us”.
Billy: “Thank you. I am sure we will see us again very soon”.
Jeff: “Yeah man, life is really hard sometimes”.
Hank (looks to Jeff): “True”.
