Bills Third String QB Best Arab American Athlete
Bills third string QB Gibran Hamdan was named the top Arab American Athlete by middle east magazine NOX. Hamadan, who is half Arab and Half Palestinian graces the cover of the magazine this month. The journeyman QB was originally signed to Buffalo’s practice squad last season, but was activated to the game roster after the release of Craig Nall . Hamadan has played for Washington, Seattle, San Fransisco, and Buffalo, as well as spending a few years in NFL Europe. 
Now, I don’t want to sound like a jerk, and I am really proud of Hamadan for gracing the cover of NOX, but is the best Arab American athlete really a journeyman NFL QB? So I Googled Arab American athletes, and found out that former Bills QB Doug Flutie is also an Arab American athlete. I had no idea. It seems the Bills have cornered the market on Arab american QB’s . But when it comes to Arab American athletes, Gibrian is definitely the most accomplished. A giant congrats to you Gibrian Hamadan. Here’s to more success in the future.

A hearty thanks from the Buffalowdown to those men and women who put their lives on the line to protect what we hold so dear.
So today we will announce the prize…. and it is…….drum roll please…….
