Arrr, me hearties! The legendary Billy Shaw, a buccaneer of the Buffalo Bills and two-time AFL conqueror, has sailed to Davy Jones’ locker at the ripe age of 85! 'Twas not a cannonball, but hyponatremia that sent him to the depths. Raise a mug for the ol' sea dog!
Arrr, me hearties! Gather ‘round fer a tale o' the legendary Billy Shaw, a jolly good guard o' the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a true treasure fer the Buffalo Bills! This salty sea dog, who helped haul the Bills to back-to-back championships in the grand ol' AFL, has sailed off to the great beyond at the ripe age o' 85, leavin' a legacy thicker than a foggy night at sea!Born in the fair land of Natchez, Mississippi, Billy was a force to reckon with, a two-way player at Georgia Tech, where he earned the title of All-American. In 1961, he had the choice o' joinin' the dastardly Dallas Cowboys or the swashbucklin' Bills. With a wink and a nod, he chose the AFL, where he carved his name in the annals of football history!
Aye, he donned the armor of an eight-time All-Star and a five-time All-AFL selection, battlin’ foes with the ferocity of a cannon blast! Jim Porter, the big cheese of the Hall, proclaimed Shaw as a dandy o' a player who was as gentle as a lamb off the field. So, let us raise a tankard in honor of Billy Shaw, a true gent and gridiron pirate who will be sorely missed by all who knew him!
