I was hoping they'd retire his number sooner. I remember watching Bills games growing up and thinking to myself "wow this guy is really something." I'm sure he's been enjoying his retirement.

Good for Thurman. This should have happened sooner though. Kinda crazy to think that in '86 & '87 Thomas & Barry Sanders were teammates @ Okie State.

 

[Rock Strongo]

is he still drunk?

 

[Rock Strongo]

no shit he got the news on his bday?

I'm surprised it took this long.

Hated that fucker in Tecmo Super Bowl...

For MAN - He ALWAYS started out good with the cupcake weeks and then got injured or went BAD status (ALMOST EVERY time - at some point you didn't get out of bounds) later in the season. The Bills had zero depth in TSB so any injury you were f'd.

But for CPU - He ALWAYS seemed to be in Good-Excellent and just blew the shit out of your team if you called a pass or the wrong run play because of stupid ass Andre Reed and "QB Bills" Jim Kelly doing stupid dump passes to him or Reed who caught most things.

Now, that is long over due! I remember when he was with the Bills, he would give the Fins fits! When he came to the Fins for a season, he was at the tail end of his career. Still, one heck of a Running Back!

Seems plenty overdue there.

That Adrian Peterson number stings. They really handicapped the team by breaking the bank on him for so many years.

What took so damn long?
Maybe, they were waiting for him to find his helmet be honoring him.

Yup, the Vikings took a real bad beating on that......

He also carried the team in his prime years when they were not good.

I know, had some great years....My comment was sarcastic....

Do you remember the game when he couldn't find his helmet?

It took Jerry Kramer over 40 years to get into the HOF.
