One Fan's View for this week:
For as long as I can remember, Buffalo has always been mocked for being behind the times. We let manufacturing get away. We lost blue collar jobs. We let urban sprawl take over. We were the rust belt. We were losing our populace. We didn’t have anything.
Somehow all that translated in a dollar for dollar exchange rate with our football team. We couldn’t catch a break. We couldn’t win a close game, a blow out, or a punting battle. We were losers that found ways to bring on the inevitable. We were Buffalo: Behind the Times.
Now that the financial meltdown is in full effect in New York City and the Bills are winning these games, I’m beginning to believe something different. “We aren’t way behind the times. We may well be way ahead of the times.” While New York City is talking about job losses and needing a bailout, Buffalo is unaffected.
Rian, You string me along
