I recently joined NFL field pass (the radio broadcasts on-line). I was listening to Detroit's coverage of last week’s game (wanted to see their reaction to Garcia’s injury) Late in the game, the announcers slammed Mike Mularkey and the city of Buffalo.
Mularkey had just called a time out, with like 40 some seconds left in the game. This angered the announcers for Detroit. They sent it down to the side line reporter and he made some dumb comment that the UN and Wayne Fontes was going to put him on trial (I don’t remember the details, but it was stupid). What caught my attention was what was said next. The announcers were making jokes back and forth about Mularkey and how stupid it was to call a time out when one of the announcers said the following:
Quote: “I got one for both of you guys. The punishment has already been dealt out. It has been decided by the powers that be that Mike Mularkey is now forced to live and coach in Buffalo.” (Approximately 3 hrs 3 minuets and 29 seconds into the broadcast).
I just don’t understand why Buffalo gets such a bad rap. Detroit is a dump of a city. And comparing the Bills to the Lions, I’d rather have the talent and fan base of the Bills fans. It just made me angry.
Thanks for letting me rant!
