ESPN Franchise Rankings

[SoCalBillsFan]

ESPN does this thing where they rank every sports franchise (121) in America based on a variety of factors. One of the factors is Coaching, and the Bills ranked 121st out of 121! Thanks GW!

THe Bills were 96th overall...click on the team name for a summary

it's an inexact science of course, but it's kind of interesting.

What a bunch of ****ing ****!:mad:

The Sabres are ahead of the Bills and they went bankrupt.:dizzy:

[SABURZFAN]

they don't think too highly of The Old Fart either.

[Brian Griese Rulz]

Yankees#28?
Red Sox#95?

I'd rather own those 2 then any other team ahead of them.

this list is bogus... the angels are in the top 10??? pppuuuulllleeeease!

I think ESPN has confused itself. How could Baltimore, Tennessee, ST Louis and Indianapolis have way higher ratings on Ownership than the Bills.....especially since Ownership includes the idea of loyalty to the city. Move a team and that indicates loyalty?

[Throne Logic]

I find it amusing that the Red Sox are #95. Uh, didn't they just come within a coaching decision of the World Series? And that manager is long gone.

Definitely a bogus listing.

I have a real problem with several of their category rankings, including Ownership - where RW is one of the best and most loyal in all professional sports; Affordability - we have the 3rd lowest ticket prices in the NFL, which should translate to better than 51st overall; and the more subjective Fan Relations and Stadium Experience. I've lived in a few different places and have attended events in many stadiums and arenas, and I think the Bills stack up very well.

This is from a fan poll, it isn't ESPN's thinking.

The fans are the dumb ones.

Those lists are useless.

LOL, the Leafs are ranked 24/30 for NHL teams.

These guys don't know **** from shinola

The problem is...ESPN is using their fans from their site. The Bills fans that use their boards, got their heads up their asses and are not die hard like us. :shakeno:
