Buffalo has a higher percentage of sports fans than many cities. That's not good , bad or otherwise, just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Patriot hatred fueled the day!! I'm still on a high!! I'd agree. The Pats* losing was like getting a promotion and a raise and Reich winning a ring was like finding a $20 bill on the same day in a winter coat that you haven't worn all season...a nice aside.

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Funny because I ran in to so many people in the run up who were iffy on watching it, but then at 5:30 Sunday had to go to the Dollar and 8 cent store and the streets and were dead like the zombie apocalypse had happened.
