Heavy Kevi Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 listening to espn pensacola. bills ranked number 2. san diego number one. makes me sad. is thirstys in pittsford still open? Clearly coming from pensacola they are just trying to make themselves feel better. They have no fans down there. Â They don't really know about "sports cities", but we don't win games and it's "cold" up here so they put us near the top. Â Anyhow... Who cares? ...and Pegula peed away nearly $1.7 BILLION for two sports franchises so he can keep them as bottom feeders, looking for recognition as "#2 worst sports city"......urinalism at its finest.........today's norm though...and Terry certainly has his "fan club (COUGH)" here as well.....go figure that too.........

SF Bills Fan Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I think they are talking about wins and playoffs, not support and attendance and Buffalo and San Diego are the top major cities for team futility as of recent. I think there ESPN magazine had an article on this too. Cleveland would be tops but the Cavs championship helped them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likei've Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 A small city compared to most others and we have two professional sports teams. Â One of them being in the biggest sport in the entire US. Â There are much larger cities that have one basketball team and we're considered one of the worst? Â Joke if I ever heard one. Not very funny, but a joke none the less.

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Some of us Buffalo people/Bills fans are just too thin skinned. I've never seen such an easily insulted bunch at times.

4_kidd_4 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I guess if it's the franchises, then yeah, on-field record wise, we're not good. Â But as far as the fans, and being into it in general. no way are we the worst. Â It would be interesting to see what our attendance is compared to winning percentage over say the last 10 years. Â Not to mention our TV market is usually one of the best for NHL. Yeah, NHL is discounted on a nat'l level, but people here are certainly supporting pro sports.

KD in CA Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Okay...is this simply based on number of sports teams? Â If you wanna talk fairweather fans, then come on down to Phoenix. Â Seems like it's based on championship futility. Bills are 0-6 in championship rounds in the modern era and have won nothing since 1965. SD has never won a championship of any kind. Â Â Or maybe it's based on which fan base has the thinnest skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
