1. And the number 1 video, it’s getting a little dusty in here. . .
This is Gino Castro, son of legendary Bills superfan Ezra Castro aka Pancho Billa, who died in 2019 after battling cancer:

For those unfamiliar with Pancho Billa’s story — Castro is a graduate of Riverside H.S. where he played football for the Rangers in the 90’s (No. 52 in the photo). @RangerFtbl
He grew up in El Paso a HUGE #Bills fan and became better known by his superfan persona. #KTSM9Sports pic.twitter.com/oYfppjEhMH

In 2019, Castro died after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 39 years old.
His legacy lives on through his family, especially his two children who have become a part of #BillsMafia. They will be at Sunday’s AFC Championship Game in Kansas City. #KTSM9Sports
