We live and breathe football here in buffalo.
a quick story for you all...
A good friend of mine that I grew up with is a Vikings fan. He wears the purple and yellow, he follows the team, and swears he is true fan. Yet, this is his 4th year with season tickets to the Bills. His friends are so deeply entrenched into the red and blue that he has no other option but to partake and has for years, week after week, wearing Bills jerseys and celebrating in our victories and wallowing in our defeats.
I was talking to him a few weeks ago, as I always bust his chops that he is a bigger Bills fan than Vikings, to which he denies. I told him, “you’ve seen more bills games in person this year than Vikings games on tv”...
...he just smiled and said, “nobody circles the wagons, baby!”
There is no experience quite like it. And I don’t just mean going to the game. It is our heart beat, a pulse that connects us all. Neighbors, friends and strangers can all back it, because at the end of the day it’s our city and our community and we take pride in it!
