teef Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I wish a study could be done about NFL players in their first 3 seasons (I picked 3 out of the sky; another number could make more sense, I don't know), that categorized their off-time activities. One extreme would be "Worked out, practiced and studied the playbook 100% of the time," the other extreme would be, "Partied like a rock star 100% of the time." Then a few in between. I'd like to know how much these young guys devote to football and in how many of them it makes a difference on the field. Some are just naturally gifted and can get away with less diligence - but I think those are exceptions - especially in today's game (I just know this is going to go right to the 80s and 90s, when everyone was doing coke and getting hammered 7 days/week). I wonder if it would show the % of young players who give into the temptations of the bigger cities and whether - even in Buffalo - young guys still manage to party non-stop. i think in today's nfl, you have to be amazingly gifted to perform at a high level and put very little work in. i'm sure some get away with it, but i think the guys who have the long, successful careers are the ones who put the time in...like anything else i suppose.

cba fan Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) 2 of of 3 of those things are correct. LOL "hot women." You need to get out more. You are looking in the wrong places my friend. Everywhere I go in this country I see many beautiful girls. Matters little the location. At Bills games Buffalo has a lot of good looking females. They look even better in Bills jerseys.

I do think that some free agents chose cities with the nightlife they want. Miami has had a lot of big free agent signings that wound up to be underperforming players for them. It can happen anywhere, but I think some places are a magnet for players who care a lot more about the lifestyle of a famous NFL player rather than working hard and winning.

Heavy Kevi Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The fans. Many NFL players (and the world at large) are desperate for validation. We have rabid fans that will support the players and show them love even when they suck. We waited at the airport and gave a key to the city to an aging locker-room cancer that the game had passed by. It's ego, and the fans go a long way to make these players feel like they are somehow better or special. Nowhere else would Trent freakin Edwards get years to start, and fans to fluff him up. Obviously that is not everyone, as I think there is real validity to the notion that as you grow up, you want a place like Buffalo. Most people don't party all the time, or need to be entertained so much as the young guys. You know when somebody says "theres nothing to do in Buffalo", that they just don't get it. I agree with Hank "Send me to hell or NY city, they're just about the same to me". But to each his own, and now to quote Chan "That's why Baskin Robbins has 31 different flavors" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) The snow. As people fling crap @ Me! ;-) I love the snow, but it is a PITA. I like playing in it, but NOT working in it. I know, I know... I am near Chicago. BUT: http://goldensnowglobe.com/all-snowiest-us-cities/ Even during this past weak winter BFLo got around 77" of snow. Chicago doesn't even crack the top 50. @ aroung ~20 or so inches. Average is ~35" and the all-time snow record is close to what BFLo gets in a "down year" like this past winter. Yeah BOS @ ~50"... CLEV/DET @ ~40", MN/NYC/PITT @ ~30"'.. That's around half for other NFL teams... Snow, I can deal with it... But it gets old, belongs in the mountains @ my age especially... ...Now that being said, I am not adverse to retiring in a snowy place, like the UP of Michigan, etc... But have other options to stay too. Edited June 5, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 2 of of 3 of those things are correct. LOL "hot women." You need to get out more. I'll put the girls I dated in Buffalo against most places. But I'm handsome so my perspective is probs ly different than yours. If the Bills won, there would be zero complaints about Buffalo. Plus, Toronto and the Canadian Ballet are right over the board. If it was all about weather and women, why aren't SD and Miami better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSEFEFFER Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Players that stick around after their careers are more likley to have married local women and once the kids start coming, the bonds of family are tough to break. Plus. their celebrity status means more in this market than the larger ones and it does create more opportunities (I am speaking financial here.) Summers are great and the traffic is never too bad realtive to other areas. I doubt the bachelor types or the guys that met their wives elsewhere are as likely to stay.

Kemp Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Not to mention the weather here in the summer might be the best of anywhere in the US...75-80 and sunny most days with a nice breeze. "Best of anywhere in the U.S." The best?! I can understand loving living in Buffalo, but weather is in no way one of the reasons. For just weather, I'll take San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris heff Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Buffalo summers are the best of anywhere in the country imo. Phoenix has the worst summers. Last time I was there during the summer stayed a my sister's on the lake. We were there for a week, it only rained twice, once four three days and once for four days.

Kemp Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Buffalo summers are the best of anywhere in the country imo. Phoenix has the worst summers. Buffalo and Phoenix are exact opposites. They each have about 6 ok months. I'll take San Diego over Buffalo 12 months a year, for weather. In the winter, San Diego crushes Buffalo. In the summer, Buffalo is a bit hotter than San Diego. https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/New-York/Places/buffalo-temperatures-by-month-average.php https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/California/Places/san-diego-temperatures-by-month-average.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins101 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 No, they are hot because they are forced to continue wearing their winter jackets and warm clothes until late spring because the mornings are cold but my lunch time the temperature went up 20 degrees so they get really hot I was going to say that they ate too many hot wings, but that works too.
