Streaking

-

The man who interrupte­d the Buffalo Bills-New Orleans Saints game Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium by streaking is using his fame to further charitable causes.

First things first, though. The streaker in question, Tristan Lambright, 27, delighted — or horrified (or both) — fans in attendance with his end zone-toend zone dash in the buff. It made for quite the scene.

However, Lambright was taken to jail for his streaking exploits. After being taken to jail, Lambright was charged with criminal trespass and public lewdness, both misdemeano­rs. Lambright pleaded not guilty to both charges. Bail was set at $500 cash, $2,000 bond.

Lambright is taking his pressing legal issues all in stride and decided to turn his newfound celebrity streaker status into something positive. First, a company has created a Bills streaker t-shirt ($14.95) and hoodie ($24.95) to commemorat­e the streak.

Drew Nye, the co-owner of the Blossom Road Pub in Rochester, N.Y., also reached out to Lambright, who has agreed to make an appearance at the establishm­ent for the Bills’ Nov. 26 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Nye agreed to cover half of Lambright’s bail in exchange. But Nye also has asked folks who plan to attend to bring gently used coats to the pub.

“We love to have a party but we wanted to continue on the train of positivity,” Nye said of the shindig. “We’re trying to have fun. If we can collect some clothes for people that need them, it gives the event a little bit of balance.”
