  1. Wow. The NBA is:

     

    Completely fixed by Stern

    Has no rivalries besides Lakers/Celtics

    Is closing in on the popularity level of hockey! (miles behind baseball)

    A heartwarming story would be Shaq winning another 'chip w/ the Celtics...>_>

    The Spurs have a "top 5" guy....

     

     

    ...the list goes on. The idiocy in this thread is astounding.

     

    hahhahahahahahahahaha what do you expect from the sports outpost known as Erie County. They only have a hockey team and share a football team with a non American city lol

  2. Check comments in that ratings link and compare it to the relative momentum of the playoffs ratings for NBA and MLB respectively. Also, see China as has been said. Also, see Latin America's value relative to almost everything else. Also, Japan has it's own leagues they watch primarily. Blah Blah...basically a few areas watch baseball locally, and a lot of Asia watches the World Series...the NBA's regular season national ratings have beat MLB for 3 straight years. The NBA had the highest rating for it's final in 10 years last year. The NBA is on the complete rise, MLB is not. If the Yankees and Sox somehow miss the playoffs, it falls apart. Sorry you baseball crazies, but it's 3rd. If it's not third to you, that's fine. If for some reason it doesn't seem like it's third where you live...that's fine also. But it is third nationally. And the margin is only going to grow moving into the future. But when you play 162 games and can generate that kind of ticket revenue it's not like you should care anyway what is more popular b/c you like baseball and it makes enough money to continue on...simple as that. If you think the nation is going to care who wins this world series more than who wins this nba championship, you've lost your mind.

     

    -shoutbox idiot

     

     

    Shhhhhh you are making too much sense, please allow the simpletons whose boundaries dont go past Erie County, WGR 55, their local bar or volunteer fire department to keep taking solace in their ignorance

  3. Pretty simple: A) People in Buffalo are hungry for Bills and Sabres related sports talk, B) WGR is the only game in town.

     

    Nick Mendola and Brad Riter both do afternoon shows on WECK 1230 but it's not limited to sports, plus during baseball season Mendola is replaced by Yankees broadcasts.

     

    It's kind of like how in a small town even the ugly girls can get dates. Supply and demand.

     

     

    ROFLMAO at the last paragraph

  4. I really don't get how you cut Ellis before McCargo. How in the world is McCargo still on this team? He should have been cut in training camp.

     

     

    Isnt it becoming more clearer that the problems on this team begin with Ralphie, Buddy the Hillybilly and Chan the Roadie

  5. Only in America does race ever come up... bringing it up in this case is at best to be argumentative and at the worst to place blame on others.

     

     

     

    Only in America... the country obsessed with race. I've been to 22 foreign countries and lived in 2- it is obsession, not healthy debate.

     

     

    I've lived in other countries and where we have racial issues they have regional or tribal issues. So, as long as you have people, you will always have issues. Even homogenous racial nations, in the abscence of race, you have gender, socio-economic or immigrant problems.

     

    It is just a function of society,

     

    Unfortunately our history is one of race. Both of racial hypocrisy and progress.

     

    I mean, the land of the free, was unfortunately, also the "Home of the Slave"

     

    Yet at the same time, we have elected the first Bi-racial President, so again out of our biggest failures come some of our biggest examples of our Success

  6. Race is always a hot button issue and there is a feeling that minorities are quick to bring it up while Whites are so quick to try and hide it or run away from it.

     

    I think that the more that people in this country discuss race with an open mind without so much fear or playing the victim card that we could easily make progress on the issue.

     

    In the case of Favre, it is funny that in a media world, and by this I include, Television, radio, newspapers and internet, that minorities (Black, Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans) make up less than five percent in total!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Consequently, 95% of the information that we consume are delivered by Whites!

     

    So the question is, are minorities right in expressing skepticism about how news and information is slanted?

     

    My answer is YES!

     

    And I do believe there should be legitimate questions about whether there is a bias in how the Tiger Woods issue and the Brett Favre or Kobe Bryant case is covered.

     

    This should be interesting, lol

  7. So we overpay for a pitiful scrub on a equally pitiful defense and then we give away the 13 th overall pick for a fourth rounder!!!!

     

    Wow!

     

    If Ralphie wasnt senile he would probably strangle the Buddy the Hillbilly!

     

    Jeez I thought John Guy was the problem

  8. I agree that Kelsay is over-paid, but if they are going to over-pay anyone, I'd

    rather it be a real tough try-hard guy like Kelsay than some fat talented, but lazy

    turd like Peters. Kelsay is FAR from the biggest problem on this team and I think

    they want to show that they reward those kind of players.

     

    HOWEVER, it is an indictment of the talent level of this team when he could be

    remotely considered one of their better players.

     

     

    I am ready to choke after reading this.

     

    Honestly you are no different than the brain trust that decided to sign this clown.

     

    Holy crap are you for real.

     

    Kelsay is a "tough, try hard guy"

     

    Wow

  9. Last I checked the Jets don't owe the Bills anything. Almost any coach will say that it is their job to stop the other team not the other way around. Yea I used to hate it when teams would run up the score when I played, but deep down I was more pissed off at myself and our team for not getting the job done.

     

     

    Thank you!!!!

     

    The most pathetic thing is to whine about the way another team is kicking your butt~

     

    This is a man's game!!

     

    Step up and hit or hurt someone!

     

    Jeez

  10. Agreed. HUGE mistake bringing him here. He was a LB coach for the Dolphins for 5 years. NEVER should have been hired as DC....doesn't have ANY DC experience. We all expected the switch to the 3-4 was going to have it's bumps and bruises, but the pass coverage doesn't seem to be anywhere near that of last year.

     

     

    Why is the focus on our defensive coach, how about the pathetic offense of our head coach.

     

    They are just as awful
