The Buffalo Bills are a charter member of the American Football League. They have been playing professional football in New York for almost 50 years, a period filled with untold moments of happiness and heartache, humor and horror. "Then Levy Said to Kelly..." collects many of the best stories and anecdotes in the history of the Buffalo Bills. From the earliest days of Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion and Wray Carlton to the team's two AFC championship victories later in the 1960s to the four consecutive Super Bowl appearances (all losses) in the 1990s, this book unearths scores of stirring, hilarious, and poignant stories about the best and worst Buffalo Bills personalities and moments over the last half-century.
Go inside the huddle, inside the locker room, and inside the postgame celebrations and get the real history of this standout team! Read about O.J. Simpson's 2,003-yard season; about those Bills who were sidelined due to injury and illness; and about the real personalities of greats like Jack Kemp, Chuck Knox, Marv Levy, Don Beebe, Jim Kelly, and many others. Many of these stories have never been published before, and because they are culled from the author's first-person interviews, they are all presented here in an unvarnished, straight-from-the-horse's-mouth fashion that will appeal both to hardcore fans and new fans alike.
The Buffalo Bills are a relatively young team, but the franchise's history is as rich and storied as that of much older teams. "Then Levy Said to Kelly..." does a remarkable job of collecting the best stories that have emerged from this always fascinating franchise.
