I grew up in Buffalo but live in the Midwest for 30 years. I brag about the Bills and the Sabres to friends and co-workers. They all know about the Bills but they honestly say "the Sabres" I say ya, the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL. They say oh ya. I love both teams but the Bills are the team the are nationally known among the average midwest residents. The NFL is much larger than the NHL. Very few people have NHL Stanley cup final parties. Very few newspapers have shrimp rings on sale for the Stanley cup finals. Its the Super Bowl. Buffalo needs the Bills and the attention they receive. Again I support both and its not right to have to say which you like more. Just cheer for them both.
