truth on hold Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) I'm going with Bills. The primary reason is the sport and not the team: for me hockey lost most of its appeal years ago when they changed the playoff system from the top 4 teams in each conference to top 4 teams in 5 team divisions. It makes a long hard season mostly irrelevant, and dilutes the quality of post season play. NFL, oth, is the only major sport I find I can still watch regular season games even if my team isn't playing. They have their playoff system just right where about a 3rd of the teams make the playoffs. Edited October 24, 2010 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hockey is not a major sport, so the answer can only be the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Buffalo Braves! If I could choose ownership though, it would have to be the Bills...love the Sabres too...don't care if Rico hates hockey, don't care if it is a regional sport...that is actually part of what I like about the NHL over the other leagues.

Brand J Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 It's the Bills of course! I know nothing of Buffalo.. haven't even stepped foot on the snowy streets. All I know is my favorite NFL franchise resides there. It is because of the Bills and only the Bills, that I've even heard of Buffalo, NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlHowardman Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 SU Orangemen football won today! And this thread just proves a point. We're lucky here in Syracuse - the Orangemen will NEVER leave! And the Bills could always move here and share the Dome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinegun12 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I agree with the NHL not being close to the other 3 major sports in America, and even if it was right up there with the others I would still say the Bills, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Rochester rhinos, since the other football is a world game. Huh. I was born and raised in Rochester, lived here my entire life except college, and I never knew it was a part of Buffalo. You learn something new everyday.

Buftex Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I don't hate hockey, it's just irrelevant. It's not irrelevant to the people who love it. I don't understand that argument. Sure, it doesn't get the press coverage of the Big 3 sports, and few who don't follow the league closely can go beyond Crosby, Ovechken and Miller when trying to think of the biggest stars in the NHL, but the game is still a blast to watch, if you like the game itself. I would argue the the NHL playoffs are about as exciting as any pro-sports get...if you like the game. I love the NFL, but the Bills sucking, coupled with the increasingly prevalent corporate feel of the game, have made me really appreciate the "small time" feel of the NHL. I suspect people who like NASCAR (not me) don't mind that a fair number of sports fans have no interest in their sport. It is as irrelevant as it gets to me, but I think it is kind of cool that there are pockets of people all over the country that live for NASCAR...its' just not me.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I pray this doesn't happen but even as terrible as the Bills have been, I couldn't imagine Buffalo with the Bills. I love hockey and played it all my life. But it still is a fringe type of sport. And as a great as the Sabres' playoff runs were, they won't be fraction of as exciting as if we ever get a Bills' playoff game again. I'd probably have a heart attack and poop myself. I never did that for a Sabres game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munch Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 This is a trick question. Ask this same thing on sabrespace and i bet its the sabres. Asking this on a Bills fan message board makes no sense. Its obviously gonna be the bills. We all know dogs are way cooler than cats, but if you go on twokittydrive.com, Ill bet they say otherwise.
