I'm more partial to the NFL network, but even then I hardly have time to catch any news. All the stuff I get is straight from this website, so as far as I'm concerned, it's been spun to me that we're superbowl contenders. I have no clue how ESPN has commented on our team, but I imagine it's revolved around the PTI guys talking about T.O., a pathetic Trey Wingo talking about the AFC East and forgetting to mention the Bills on NFL Live, or some tiny little T.O. line on Sportscenter.
It's all the same re-hashed stories, so as far as I'm concerned, the Bills fan (and it seems like an overwhelming majority here...let's face it, you treat Tim Graham like a god...not saying he doesn't have fantastic inside knowledge, but jesus christ, he says one good thing about us in his blog and someone is sure to start a thread titled, "good read"") that is obsessed with national exposure probably doesn't realize that it's not the same in other cities with sports teams. I'm not saying that's 100% true, or even bad, but it comes with the territory. I've come to embrace that our fans are wildly obsessed with getting the name of Buffalo out there.
It's all about our psyche really. We're a city that was once world class. And that happened before all of our time (well, except for maybe Dean) so we long to get the world to think about us again. There really aren't too many redeemable factors that go with our city, except that the people are awesome and obsessed with it. So, no I don't give a damn when we're mentioned on sportscenter, but I sure as hell don't mind when our rampant fans fall in love with Chris Berman, or make reminders on their palm pilots that Trent Edwards is going to be interviewed on PTI.
