MikeSpeed Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I live is South Carolina where they show the Panthers. I voted Indifferent because not even their fans care. Went to the Panthers vs Paties and you would have thought I was at a book reading. As long as the Bills remain in western NY they will be my team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Patriot Country. 1 minute ago, Chris from Rochester said: I recently relocated to NC and decided that I would try and root for the Panthers. Finally watched a game when they played on a Sunday or Monday night towards the end of the season (I have Sunday ticket so I always watch the Bills first and whatever seems like the most interesting game second) and the Panthers were moving the ball towards the end of the first half. Cam Newton scrambled for a first down and wasted a solid 7-10 seconds celebrating like he had just won the Super Bowl with under a minute left. Maybe he thought Rivera was going to call a time out or something, but watching him act like a fool instead of leading his team to the line of scrimmage really turned me off. Then a play or two later he threw a pick in the endzone. Once he is gone maybe I will try and root for them, but until then, no thanks. Uh oh someone isn’t going to like reading this. I’m right outside Boston, I don’t think the rest needs explaining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I used to live in Chicago. When I did, I couldn't stand the Bears. Their fans are really obnoxious, particularly at the stadium. I took a lot of abuse attending a Bills game there, where all I did was wear a Bills hat. I didn't make any comments to anyone other than the people I was with, didn't taunt anyone, etc. Now I live in Phoenix. Cardinals fans are generally fine. If offered free Cardinals tickets, I would decline them to watch the Bills on TV, but if the Bills are not playing at the same time, I will go. I went to one Cardinals game this year - a Thursday night against Denver where I got free tickets from a friend. I am OK with the Cardinals doing well, as it creates good feeling in the community and I get a free pass from my wife to watch more football when there's a buzz about it. Overall, I am somewhat indifferent to how the Cardinals do. Edited January 7, 2019 by msw2112 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltonWaddams Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Seattle is a 1.5 hour boat ride away from me. I had been going to a game a year there until the tickets went sky high. I now do a Bills away game and, including flights and accommodation, might spend $150 more in the end. The Hawks are my other team, but I would give them about.02% of my fanhood and that may be over-estimating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I voted mostly indifferent. I spend 6 months in Texas and Houston is the closest team about 2 hrs away. Indifferent to them but do not like the Cowboys thus the mostly. My neighbor has a cowboys flag - need to get a Bills flag for the game next year.

ProcessAccepted Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Atlanta based. Really I am ambivalent about the Falcons. Only have room in my heart for one team and I fell in love with the Bills when they drafted Thurman. I have so many great memories with the Bills games, from the 51-3 to the Bills Bengals in 2010. The grit of the team and fans is just hard to walk away from. The Falcons on the other hand are just bland. They are soft like a lot of Dome teams tend to be. The only time I've ever really rooted for them was the horrible meltdown Superbowl against the Patriots. That sucked!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I live in the Spartanburg, SC area. The Panthers training camp is here but I could care less. I have actually tried but just cant get into them. I have went to watch them play twice though. Can you guess who they were playing. lol It actually ironic this thread was created. I found out today that my new boss is a Bills fan. He used to live in the Orchard Park area and we were talking about this exact topic briefly.

I lived in Dayton 3 years, tried to be a Bungles fan but couldn't quite do it. I did see the Bills play in Cincy once, I think 1995. Browns were an option for me growing up, but the team just defines "meh". Even with the Four Falls of Buffalo, glad I went with the Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro_tull Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Chicago area resident, can't explain why but I enjoy when the Bears lose- mainly because the sports media are very entertaining when they do. I have been to Indy many times and they are my no.2 team. If anyone picks the first choice- well they should be banned from this board. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Vegetables Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I live near Cleveland. I mostly feel bad for the Browns fans out here. They’ve had it rough for many years and it was fun watching Mayfield give them hope for the future. Still love the Bills though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Indifferent is really the best way of describing it; as a transplant to the Atlanta area, not only are they (Falcons) not the Bills obviously, but not even the team that would represent my hometown area (Steelers), so I’m basically 2 levels removed from any nominal rooting interest. Doesn’t affect my day in the slightest if they’re doing good or bad. 13 minutes ago, ProcessAccepted said: Atlanta based. Really I am ambivalent about the Falcons.

Chandemonium Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I’m in Columbia SC so my local team is the panthers. I’m indifferent to them, other than wishing they were in the AFC so I could see the Bills live locally more than once every 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
