The Real Buffalo Joe Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 I get that it was a sponsored segment, but this is just disrespectful. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/10/29/18040406/monday-night-countdown-comes-to-buffalo-eats-applebees-boneless-wings-bills-new-england-patriots
Boatdrinks Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 Yeah, as the wing goes this was an all out travesty. I saw one shot of Duffs on a return from commercial break but that’s it. Sellouts to the almighty $$

They're at least "wing places," even if they lack quality. Applebee's has become the punchline of mediocre bland corporate chain restaurants.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 That was just plain blasphemous and indefensible. 1
hondo in seattle Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 ESPN was filming in the home of the Buffalo Wing and decided to feature Applebees? Corporate sponsorship at it's worse! (I'm not sure how important this topic is - but it's diverting to talk about something other than the pathetic-ness of our offense. So, thanks Real Buffalo Joe.) 1

WhoTom Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 What's next? Go to Philly and get a cheese steak sandwich from Arby's? If the NFL ever plays a Super Bowl in London, ESPN will send a crew to an English pub and order a round of Bud Light. 1 3

How about the graphic of former Bills QBs (Tyrod and AJ) going over the falls? Pretty tasteless, I thought, although not as tasteless as boneless "wings" from Applebees. 2

The Bills Blog Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) The whole concept of wings is kind of funny to me. As much as Buffalonians might hate to admit it, there's nothing special about Buffalo wings anymore. Wings are the same across the country, at least 5 hours down south from Buffalo. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that they shouldn't have used boneless wings from Applebee's. Edited October 30, 2018 by The Bills Blog

Applebees are actually pretty good. Just not for a Buffalo segment.

I was kinda baffled as to why it was Bush they decided to ask to do a song. I assume they were in the area for their own show or something. 1
