Thanks. We're having a lot of fun with it. And I guess that's a good point...

Hi there, I'm actually the guy who started this whole #BillsMafia thing. So if you don't like it, blame me. Thanks for taking the time to put this article together, and while it is flattering that you took the time to do it and carried a positive vibe throughout it, I really wish you would have reached out to me first, as the website requests (http://bit.ly/HAxjwS)... or at the very least attribute sources to the quotes you have in here (most of the ones in here I have never personally read myself and they don't ring a bell). But I wanted to point out that there are inaccuracies in here that could have been avoided. 1. I have *never* realistically heard of the gimmick regarding wearing mafia suits -- something I wouldn't endorse. That picture was from a joke "new year's" article on BuffaloObserver.com and was not serious. Check the page again -- the mafia suit claim was directly below the prediction that hydrofracking would give Buffalonians super-powers (http://buffaloobserver.com/2012/01/12/5-fantastic-predictions-for-buffalo-in-2012/) 2. The logos and blogs began BEFORE the 5-2 run. It all happened it August 2011, before the team began winning -- heck, before they even played their first preseason game. That's important to realize because this is NOT a bandwagon effort, but rather an expression of the love we have always had for our team and the faith we have that the time is coming that we will be back in the playoffs again someday (soon). 3. The pic of the shirtless guy was actually made by a Jets fan(!) who was making fun of the Buffalonian stereotype. So, thanks again but please... next time spend the extra time and effort to follow through with your sources to ensure you are getting the story correct. Thanks, Del (aka @mrdeadlier on Twitter)
