    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A chainsaw carving of former Buffalo Bills running back Thurman Thomas is missing from a parking lot across from Ralph Wilson Stadium, a day after the statue was unveiled.

    The project's creator, Therese Forton-Barnes, says the 8½-foot statue carved from a fallen pine tree weighs more than 1,000 pounds and it took a crane to get it set up for Sunday's event. She says it would have taken several strong people with a flatbed truck to remove it. It's unclear when it disappeared.

    Orchard Park police are investigating.

    The statue was unveiled before Sunday's Bills game against the Browns. It's the 34th in a fundraising series that grew out of a 2006 snowstorm that toppled thousands of trees. The carvings feature celebrities, animals and historical figures.

  • Buffalo was a mess yesterday, I saw on the news that some 19yr old drunk driver drove recklas through the crowd exiting the stadium. Some fans jumped off a bridge to get out of the way.

    Geez, we rocked their world.

    .... heading to Pittsburgh now ...

    You *do* remember what happened after the Pats-Bills game, right? 🥷
