I am a loyal subscriber to ESPN the mag, and do generally like the magazine, but they can tend to be so biased towards some teams. In there recent top franchise's in pro sports they rated the Bills 104 out of 121. This is crap, and i totally disagree. I know that in Buffalo, and in its surrounding areas, the fans and the media love this team, and we should never be rated this low. I take pride in loving this team, and always will, and ESPN needs to check themselves.

ESPN the Magazine sucks. Sporting News magazine is the way to go!

If that's referring to last year, I'd say they're right on target.

Why would you need a magazine, when you have the Bills Zone?
Heck, I don't even watch the regular news anymore because it's all right here! :up: :D

ESPN Mag also predicted the Bills would be in the Super Bowl last year. :eek:

Personally, I like the rag.

ESPN still has a really good magazine, but that ranking really pissed me off!! Although i did agree w/ them when they ranked our coaching 121 out of 121 in sports.

What criteria did they use for the rankings? It may be that it doesn't necessarily relate to the team, but that stadium situation and market size are the kinds of things they are factoring in.

The Defense was pretty well coached last year, that alone should have ranked us above some NFL teams or kept us from the overall worst ranking.
