I agree with this post. This is the first time I have ever contributed to these blogs but I had to support this one. Sometimes these remarks go so much beyond football. So having said that football aside for a second.
Why do some many bash the this area? It gets down right depressing when I read what people think about their own back yard. Not to mention what people from outside this area think about us after reading some of these posts.
I lived in NC for over 12 years and moved back to WNY 3 years ago. My profession enables me to travel throughout the country and I love coming back home. I have meant many people that have traveled away for a few years but eventually find their way back, and no they didnt fail other places which made them have to come home.
There are only two kinds of folks that complain about this area. "Those that have never visited" and "Those that have never left" For those that have never visited, please do not speak poorly about a place you have never visited and all your knowledge comes from the "significant snow" that happens "Near Buffalo" repeatedly reported on the national news. For those that have never left, please do not publically speak poorly about our/your home when you have no substantial experiance to which you can compare"
