2020 Our Year For Sure Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Meh..not that funny reallyAccurate though.
eball Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Accurate though. Not the point. These writeups are supposed to be extreme caricatures. There wasn't anything particularly creative about the Bills one.
Andrew Son Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Not the point. These writeups are supposed to be extreme caricatures. There wasn't anything particularly creative about the Bills one. I think they are funnier for the teams you don't follow as closely. I'm sure other fan bases will be amused, we're just too close to it

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I did have to laugh at one of the fan comments: " Black Tar Heroin is a wiser investment of my time and money." I've thought along similar lines too. But I keep coming back!
sodbuster Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Not the point. These writeups are supposed to be extreme caricatures. There wasn't anything particularly creative about the Bills one. In his defense, how can you possibly make an extreme caricature of coaches riding tandem bicycles together and fans running face first into busses? Out reality IS an extreme caricature.

RobRyanFan Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 My favorite part was "all of the RBs will be injured or in jail by week 10. Or both."
jimmy10 Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 the guy who said western new york has the intelligence of the south, culture of the midwest, hospitality of new england and climate of hoth, that was pretty funny.

thr_wedge Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 How about the one with Doug Marrone sticking around to clean up the theater.
Andrew Son Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 How about the one with Doug Marrone sticking around to clean up the theater. I can't picture that one
thr_wedge Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I can't picture that one I'm trying to determine if that guy made it up, but considering how most professional athletes are spoiled brats, I don't know. Perhaps Doug was actually asking about an assistant manager position?
GottaRun Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Seems to be more of a 'why your fan's suck' than 'why your team sucks'. Was hoping for better, we suck enough to be funnier.
Mr. WEO Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Not the point. These writeups are supposed to be extreme caricatures. There wasn't anything particularly creative about the Bills one. That's the saddest part. It's all fact and nothing there to caricature. It was all just spot on--almost serious in its cataloging of the current state of affairs.
Best Player Available Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 The Bills were by far the most disappointing of the write ups so far. There is nothing new now. 16 years of suck, for almost the same reasons. I guess it gets stale. Not even a bills lack of cheerleaders reference. Nothing Really other than the same tired jokes, and cliches. Burning tables has lost it's luster. deadspin is cheap.
dave mcbride Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I thought it was pretty solid. Too much material to work from though--the Bills as currently constituted make it hard to do satire.
NorthBuffaloKid Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Very funny! I liked Carpenter hitting himself in the face.
