I was watching the 96' playoff game posted in another thread when i realized, I have no idea why Buffalo's team is called the bills.

Too many question popped into my head like

Is there some guy in Buffalo named Bill that i should know about?

Is a bill a part of the bison?
     If so, then what the hell is a bill?
        Is that the stupid red line they put through the middle of the logo?
        Is the bill the part that makes bison faster than a cow?

I had to investigate.

As it turns out, its not that interesting. Some oil tycoon who was affiliated with the team named them after Buffalo Bill Cody, the western frontier pioneer. Bill received his nick name because he supplied buffalo meat to the railroad workers. So maybe the stupid red stripe is actually because the bison was shot in the head. That is my new theory.

But now im stuck wondering, what the hell is the buffalo doing on the helmet? Shouldn't it be some little cowboy or something?
