Well fed bear

Check out the size of this 746 pound black bear killed in Potter, County Pennsylvania. The bear was killed by an 18 year old Amish hunter. Can you imagine being in the woods and this thing comes out towards you? And Potter County isn't that far from Buffalo...

Let them go already

Eight Amish men in the state of Kentucky were arrested after refusing to put orange safety triangles on their buggies. They were reportedly bailed out by Bill's starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (ok, that was way too easy).

The Amish Rifle

This is an encore presentation from last season. I like the current Bills better than the ones who made the Super Bowl four years in a row. These guys seem like better guys, although maybe not better players. I like Fitz, though.Four TD passes yesterday...

I thought this was a funny story in today's Buffalo News regarding Ryan Fitzpatrick's beard. Some of the Bills' players are calling him the Amish rifle...

The days are numbered for the shaggy beard of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Bills' quarterback, who has been growing his beard all season, said he will shave it off after the season-finale against the New York Jets on Jan. 2. Fitzpatrick's beard is very full around the mouth and chin and splotchy on the sides.

Bills cornerback Drayton Florence has been calling him "the Amish Rifle." Fitzpatrick was asked Wednesday if he has been invited to take part in any Civil War reenactment festivities. (He hasn't.)

"I think there are probably plenty of people who want me to trim it or cut it up, especially of the female variety," Fitzpatrick said. "I've gotten a lot of different comments and stuff, [like] 'how does your wife deal with that?' But it's part of it. She's along for the ride."

Asked if his wife is counting the days until he shaves it off, Fitz said: "Yeah. I think so."

I like Fitzpatrick, even though his beard makes him look like one of the ZZ Top band members on crack.

He seems to have the leadership skills the Bills needed at the position. Hopefully, he'll keep churning out touchdown passes as well as butter...

Saving money on gas?

I thought they didn't use phones? An Amish man in Milroy, Indiana sent suggestive texts to a 12 year old girl, whose parents contacted the police. The police set up a sting posing as the girl and the guy showed up-on his horse and buggy. Then, things got weird from there ...

Getaway foiled when horse and buggy crash

An Amish boy who tried to flee police faces charges of alcohol possession and "overdriving an animal" after he crashed his getaway vehicle -- a horse and buggy.

Cattaraugus County sheriff's deputies today said 17-year-old Levi E. Detweiler ran a stop sign and refused officers' attempts to stop the buggy. Deputies chased Detweiler for about three quarters of a mile, and when he tried an unsafe turn into a driveway, he crashed the horse and buggy in a ditch. The boy then fled on foot but was found later in the area.
He was interviewed by detectives, who charged him with possession of alcohol by someone under 21, overdriving an animal, second-degree reckless endangerment, failure to stop at a stop sign and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle in the incident that occurred about 1:30 a.m. July 12.

That "overdriving an animal"charge will get you every time. I hate when that happens. They should let him go just because his name is Levi. I wonder if he'll share a court date with the Lancaster guy caught driving drunk on his lawn mower?...
