What am I missing here? I don't understand what he is alluding to...

 

16. Buffalo Bills

There is one silver lining to Buffalo's Cinderella season slowly falling apart to the point that the Bills now might miss the playoffs. I am not allowed to mention it, but if you rack your brains, you will figure it out. Think about the insufferable way that Oprah attached herself to Obama, and you will be getting warm.

Considering we have been 7-9 the last 2 seasons and in the playoff hunt well past week 13 the last two seasons how is this considered a cinderella season?

I'm actually upset that I have a less of an IQ than the average Bills fan. Only by 2 points. But still.

 

On the bright side, I'm as smart as Peyton Manning according to that advertising spam!

In the playoff hunt = "Not mathematically eliminated?"

 

I suppose McCain was in the presidential hunt for a few hours.

I believe he's alluding to Chris Berman being on the Bills bandwagon.

 

Bingo. "I am not allowed to mention it..." Simmons has any negative references to ESPN personalities edited out of his columns by TPTB at ESPN.com. And he has a hair across his ass because of that and some other pieces and podcasts that ESPN nixed for various reasons. He has alluded to on this personal blog.
