Polian picks Wall of Fame date

Former Bills GM and soon-to-be Bills Wall of Famer Bill Polian has chosen a home date this fall for his Wall of Fame induction ceremony.

Polian’s name will be formally unveiled during a halftime ceremony on Oct. 21st when the Bills play host to the Tennessee Titans. He’s the 28th name to be added to the Bills Wall of Fame.

The game date selected makes sense. One of Polian’s sons, Dennis,  is an assistant to Titans head coach Mike Munchak.

Hansen to run for office?

Bills Wall of Famer is expected to announce today whether he’s going to throw his hat in the ring for a vacant state Senate seat in Minnesota.

That according to a North Dakota news site Inforum. Earlier in the week Hansen would not reveal his intentions, but did release a statement that indicated he would outline his plan today which read as follows.

“I will announce plans to start a new chapter in my career, and give back to (the) place I love and call home.”

Hansen, 43, currently lives in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. He officiates high school football and works as a color commentator for his alma mater, North Dakota State University.

Hansen to sign autographs

Bills newest Wall of Famer Phil Hansen, who will be honored in a halftime ceremony today, is going to be in the Bills Healthy Zone Fieldhouse signing autographs.

Hansen is scheduled to appear at 10:30 am.

Booker on the radio

Buffalo’s newest Wall of Fame member Booker Edgerson appeared on the Shredd and Ragan show on 103.3 FM.

Here’s the interview with Edgerson providing an interesting look back at the AFL days. He actually wasn’t happy that the AFL-NFL merger happened. The interview actually gets going about 1:40 in.

Edgerson even said he thought the Bills could’ve beat the Browns in 1964.

New Wall of Famer named

The Wall of  Fame voting committee has just named the 26th member of the Bills Wall of  Fame.

CB Booker Edgerson (1962-1969) will go up on the wall this fall. He’s the first Bills AFL player to be named to the Wall since his former teammate George Saimes went on the Wall in 2000.
