PaattMaann Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 are you saying, "whatever grantland is"????? and you consider yourself a sports fan? when he was hanging out with the bills mafia, he only referred to people as their "@name" twitter tag...i guess it was very weird that he did that haah, especially since he knew their actual names
buffalonian Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 This article is epic. Well written and interesting. The themes aren't necessarily new, but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless. By the end of the article I started getting excited about this weekend's game against the Pats.
bbb Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Grantland is Bill Simmons' offshoot from espn.com. I'm really surprised, like Mr. Mann, that not everybody here knows it. GREAT article! I've always wondered how much the black community as a whole, cares about the Bills, and I got my answer there. The minorities I know are Dolphins, etc. fans, but I didn't know if it was just me.

If you judged the Bills' fanbase by going to PPP, it would seem that all we have is old, angry, white guys. But the Bills fanbase is very diverse. And Grantland, IMO, is the best non-porn website going.

Maury Ballstein Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 grantland and bill simmons both rule......nice offspring of espn.com with Bill Barnwell "NFL guru" and insight to TV/movies/music with several other writers.

The podcasts, esp. BS report, Jalen Rose, & Jacoby Reality TV, are great as well. Help get me through long drives.
bbb Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 BS with Adam Carolla, like yesterday, is always great. For us Homeland fans, the reviews and podcasts on it are great.

bbb Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 They used to write together for Kimmel, so they have great chemistry.
HamSandwhich Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 My goodness it was long, but it was riveting. Great article!!!
bbb Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 I kept waiting for it to end. I think that is by far the longest article I've ever read on Grantland. (Well except for anything by Simmons, which are never-ending). They usually try to keep it basically "one page" I think.
BuffaloWest Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Pretty damn good article..long ~but worth the read...Written from a diferent perspective than most articles on Buffalo and The Bills covering a LOT of topics... Sorry But I just cant get past how gay "Bills Mafia" is. I mean Zubaz are great because we know how cheesy and lame they are-They cant be taken seriously , and that is why we celebrate them and it is what makes them so great. Bills Mafia on the other hand is actually serious about itself-which is what makes it so freaking lame! Being "just a Bills fan" really is good enough. I think I may buy me some of them Zubaz though!

I agree but I can't knock fans for being fans. Much cooler than Fireman Ed though.
