It's in My Blood Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Poor article, IMO. Just another uninformed Boston writer spewing insults against what he perceives is an inferior city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 that is correct! that actually is the way it should be..the cutoff should be there in relation to the term "upstate"and without clicking on it again I'm pretty sure he did mention it was western ny in other paragraph.

Tipster19 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Upstate State, WNY, frozen state, who gives a ****, all I want to hear coming out of their mouths is "Daddy" once we take back what is rightfully ours and that is the division title! Their nucleus is starting to fade into the sunset, *see Woolfork! Soon it will be Marcia Brady and then the dreaded Belichick. First I want to pound those two asses a few times before we show them the way out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 it sounds like lazy journalism.. the "upstate" term is a catch all term as we all know. I wouldnt say "lazy." Surely he knows where Buffalo is. I'd call it "pandering." Because he isnt writing for Buffalo readers. He is writing for large market readers, who just like NYC residents, consider anything 5 miles north of NYC as "upstate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Lake Erie never caught on fire, but the Cuyahoga River did several times. The fact that the mouth of the Cuyahoga River is Lake Erie has nothing to do with Darrelle Revis' interest in playing for Rex again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpunkysSD Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It was actually the Cuyahoga river that caught fire.....not Lake Erie itself to be exact.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Wow the things that make people made and get their goat. Upstate, really?This IS upstate NY. The term is used because New York is generally used for the large powerful city known as New York City. Upstate differentiates from NYC and is widely used and accepted. That simple. Get over your inferiority complex and deal with it. Buffalo can't carry NYC's lunch. We're not even a top tier city in this country, deal with it. Accept the truth.
