In this week's That Thing You Missed, a boy melts down over his hero's retirement, Troy Polamalu may have a new career and the Bills dig out a legend.
Champ Bailing
This poor kid is more depressed about Champ Bailey’s retirement than Champ Bailey.
Just think how desolate he’s going to be when he gets a little older and realizes his parents didn’t know how to use their phone camera properly.
What’s so tough about his people?
Snow Job
As most of you know, parts of the Buffalo area are under over six feet of snow.
And while digging out from under the massive wall of powder is nearly impossible for most folks – not everyone has it so tough.
While Bills ownership is offering fans free tickets and ten bucks an hour to help shovel at Ralph Wilson Stadium – Bills legend Jim Kelly actually has current players like Mario Wiliams and major construction equipment like Bobcats to dig him out.
Being a legend must be awesome.
