From downstate originally and all my family are jets/giants fans - we moved upstate when i was 9 or 10 and started getting into sports (watching and playing) and for some reason I became a Bills fans, no idea why really it just happened, although it probably helped that they were getting pretty good at that point - right before the real run. Now I have infected my wife (who was a fan but not die-hard like she is now) and my poor, poor son who gets **** from everyone about being a Bills fan. I know it is silly for a grown man but I care about the Bills deeply and I am only a bit ashamed to admit that a football teams that gives two-***** about me has such an important place in my life.
Fake edit - I will say though when you find another lonely soul who is a Bills fan it is almost 99.9% chance of instant friendship and mutual understanding of the pain and agony - it's kinda nice to immediatly share a lifetimes worth of experiences with someone you just met just by them saying "Yea, I'm a Bills fan too."
