Named the Indians in 1915 to honor Louis Sockalexis, the Tribe has had its share of ups and downs. After winning championships in 1920 and 1948 and a pennant in 1954, the Indians slumped, after the 1960 trade of fan favorite Rocky Colavito, not coming within 11 games of first place until 1993. But in the '90s, with the help of players like Sandy Alomar, Jim Thome, Kenny Lofton, and Manny Ramirez, the Indians turned around, even though the decade culminated in an ultimately disappointing trip to the 1997 World Series.

On a breezy August day two weeks before the '86 regular-season opener, the United States Football League went belly-up, Jim Kelly became available, and everything changed. The swaggering quarterback whom Sports Illustrated called "Namath with knees" was coming to the city he had been dissing ever since Buffalo selected him in the first round of the 1983 draft. Faster than you could say "Machine Gun Kelly," the Bills became the hottest ticket in western New York, not to mention a plum assignment for a sportswriter. The 20 years that followed would be quite a roller-coaster ride, a time for Bills fans to shout and pout... Along the way, we would learn about the incredible passion western New Yorkers have for their football team--a passion underscored by the fact that the Bills led the league in attendance for six consecutive seasons despite playing in the NFL's third-smallest market. We touch on all of this and more in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Buffalo Bills. While we don't profess to be the definitive history of the franchise, we do attempt to highlight the people and moments that have made the Bills a family tradition passed down from one generation to the next. As Van Miller, the legendary voice of the Bills, used to say before opening kickoffs: "Fasten your seat belts, folks." We hope you enjoy the ride back in time. --Scott Pitoniak, from the introduction.
