without a drought Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 No one really read all that. And if you did...why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 That was awesome. This radioactive dump needs to read that daily. It's basically the same crap you post daily on here. Except your golden boy JA gets the shaft as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, horrible journalism and not really enjoyable. Is it really journalism though? I've always viewed it as stinging satire for the most part.

Logic Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I'm not sure if these things are what they once were. Maybe I'll give this a shot, maybe not. This used to be one of my favorite articles every year. I'd read every single team's version. But ever since they moved away from Deadspin and Drew Magary, they've undergone a consistent and precipitous decline in quality and funniness. Now they're mostly shoulder shrug material. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year was kind of a bummer. Plus there were a couple of guest writers who were so-so. I would always look forward to the ones about Dan Snyder, so sadly (I use that term lightly) something was missing in that regard this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's worth a read. Magary has lost a lot on his fastball, and I'm not wild about his breaking stuff, but he only wrote about half of them this year. (Good for him bringing in help instead of mailing it in.) The author of this one, Victoria Zeller, is from Buffalo and a Bills fan, and did a great job IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear that it's the longest and most caustic of the lot this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to read them.] So, the article wasn't bad. Thanks for sharing. The comments, however, were slit your wrists depressing, unfunny, and unhinged. Ugh. What a depressing way to live. Seriously, medical professionals need to be available to provide help for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Yeah that was pretty harsh and generally unfunny IMO. Haven't read that in a while since it was all done by the one person and the website went under or something - seems like this time they recruited different people and this person from Buffalo didn't do a great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleezoid Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Reading that at the dawn of a new season is not enjoyable. However, after the Bills are knocked out of the playoffs this season, rereading that will provide inspiration for the 2204 comments that can be made even more vile and scornful.

hikerprof2 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Final line "Most of all, Bills Fans, I want you to take heart. No matter how fraudulent you are, you're always less fraudulent than the F***ing Dolphins." If you can't appreciate that, maybe you are the thin skinned "Perfectly rectangular dude from Cheektowaga."
