First and foremost, I’d like to thank Kevin Connors for joining me as I dust off 12 Questions with the 12th Man. Most will recognize Kevin from his job as anchor of SportsCenter, but I’ve gotten to know him on Twitter as a diehard Buffalo Bills fan.
Connors has very insightful opinions on the Bills, both current and past, and I know that all Bills fans will enjoy this interview!
1. You grew up in Rockville Centre, NY. How did you become a Bills fan?
Kevin Connors: I have my Dad to thank. Or blame. Either way, he grew up in central New York (Ilion, NY) and imparted his love of the Bills onto me.
As a native Long Islander, I lived in enemy territory –between Jets fans and Giants fans. I can remember writing book reports in elementary school about O.J. Simpson – and guaranteeing victory in Super Bowl XXV to all my high school friends.
Needless to say, my life as a Bills fan has not always been easy.
2. Who are your top five, all-time favorite Buffalo Bills?

It looked marvelous: Johnson leaping over the middle to snag the ball with one hand, bring it in and control it before he landed on the turf for a 25-yard gain. Trouble is, the drive stalled and Buffalo lost the game.
''It's a pretty cool catch,''...
