You can shake whatever body part you like, but the point is the quality of the football team and the quality of the writing should be mutually exclusive. A subpar product on the field does not excuse subpar writing about the team by the staff at TBN.
I'm not against criticism of the team when it's warranted, and I'm not in disagreement that there is a lot to be critical about over many years with the Bills, but I expect writing that is reasoned and defensible from a "professional."
In my opinion, Jim Kelley used to do a masterful job of this in his coverage of the Sabres. He was thoughtful, provocative when justified, and could make rational arguments to back up his point of view. He was an excellent writer. He was far from a sunshine and rainbows shill for the team, but he acknowledged the good about the team with the bad. He was a professional.
The Ryan brothers successes or failures, or the success or failure of any other person affiliated with the Bills or Sabres, for that matter, has no bearing on the low-quality claptrap TBN has elected, more often than not, to churn out relative to Buffalo sports. One could even suggest that TBN sports writers demanding an improvement in the on field/on ice product is ironic, if not outright hypocritical.
