Rico Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Bills. Sabres are a non-factor unless they make the playoffs again, then I might start watching them on Versus if they make it to the 2nd-or-3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Nothing can compete with the Bills, IMO....I can't get enough, even when they suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 To be completely honest, I've always seemed to balance between the two of them. But this year, it's different. I'm sick of the Bills breaking my heart. Sabres first, Niagara University basketball 2nd, Bills 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Number 76 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I got sick of 3 hours of commercials in a 3 hour and 15 minute game. I'll take hockey, thank you. 754833[/snapback] I've been saying that for years. One of these days, either the NFL will wise up, or its customers will. Not soon. Sabres first (I've always been a bigger hockey fan, though), the rest of the NHL second, the Bills third, and the rest of the NFL, 99th or something. I'd rather watch UB-Auburn than Cowboys-Redskins.

Pyrite Gal Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Which 2006-2007 season are you more excited to see? Me..... Sabres. Am I the only one who feels this way? Don't get me wrong I'm excited about the Bills season and to see how the new coaching staff does but. Come on man! 754735[/snapback] Fortunately, i see no reason to have to choose. My allegiance is actually to Buffalo and WNY and I am happy to root for any team that my fellow residents in general choose so I can share the experience with them. I think the finest moment in Buffalo sports history that I have seen in my brief time here since 1989 when I got married to a life-long Buffaloanian was when 10-20K Buffaloanians gathered in Niagara Sq, to welcome home their Bills after theu gave us the first of 4 consecutive great rides but lost as it happened in each successive year in the SB. It was a great moment on the Sunday night before when 20 or so of us held hands to watch the Norwood kick which ended up wide right, but it was excelled seeing the community essentially forgive him for missing the kick. I am a lifelong Chicagoan who rooted madly for my Bears and rejoiced with my best friend in DC who was also born in Chicago when our Bears won SB XXV, but feeling that sense of shared community when we all imitated the Bills holding hands before the errant kick, with the forgiving of Norwood for failing in this game and then to enjoy that feeling of Jimbo emdodied with WE'RE BBAACCK, simply elevated sports for me beyond the simple equation of winning and losing. I love the Sabres. Recent years gave been dominated by the travesty of Rigas announcing in Niagara SQ. that he would do what was necessary to bring the Stanley Cup to Buffalo after the No Goal ruling that was even more galling than the missed kick. He deserved to go to prison for his ripoff involving Adelphia, but deserves to burn in Hades for a while for lying to this community. I am quite pleased to see the resurgence of the team under Golisano's ownership (though that it has also come under Larry Quinn and Regier's guidance means that this resurgence may more be dumb luck caused by their fiscal conservancy coninciding with the players coming together in an extraordinary year after the lock-out, we will see and I will enjoy rooting for them to do well). I think that most fans brains are big enough and mostly that their hearts are big enough that they need not choose between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm surprised that so many of you are "hockey-first" guys....I figured there were a lot more die hard NFL guys on here. Is it just cause the Sabres are good right now and the Bills aren't, or do you always feel this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we take it at a larger level I stick to the answer above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the people who i respect the most around here are more of a hockey nut, then a football fanatic. Kinda dissapoints me. Well anyway - I LOVE football. I LOVE the NFL. And the NFL is never going to cut commercials. It is the most popular sport in the most important country in the world. GO BILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO BILLS! 754938[/snapback] Yep, I literally go into withdrawal frm the NFL during the offseason. I watch just about every damn minute of the draft, read whatever I can get my hands on, watch as much preseason ball as I can, etc. I love sports in general, but I'm an NFL addict. Watching that Bengals/Packers game tonight reminded me of the last time I saw the bengals....last year in the playoffs against the steelers. I was SO damn fired up for that game and amazingly pissed when Carson went down in the 1st quarter. I'm a die hard Bills fan, but I can get fired up by just about any game.
