Actually and in fact, this issue did get some little bit of discussion the last few years. It hasn't generated much traction, though,
perhaps mainly because Cody hadn't been much researched by the original 1940s ownership group who probably thought of Cody
as a generic cowboy tough-guy character, and now also because many -- we'd daresay most -- Bills fans don't even connect Cody
with the team name. Hey, maybe we can disavow the Cody thing and associate "Buffalo Bill" with that guy from
Silence of the Lambs...
