It's basically a suburb of NYC - actually closer to NYC than New Era is to Buffalo. Expand We all know it’s a suburb of NYC. Don’t forget that the Jets and Giants both passed on him in the draft when they needed a QB. I don’t think his answer was *all* about the geography. Edited September 15, 2019 by YoloinOhio
Buffalo716 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 WeIl I wasn't 100% sold on draft night But I reevaluate all the time and have no problem admitting when I'm wrong Coming from someone who IS BULLISH ON QBS.... Allen is a stud muffin 2 1 1

Allen is a stud muffin Expand I admit I didn't like the pick either and I was wrong, although I also did not see him as much as the other four guys, but he won me over quickly with his personality and his competitiveness and then his play and attitude. 1
Rocket94 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Wow. Good for him. The timing was perfect!

Freddie's Dead Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 *****in' A Bubba! I'm with Howard Cosell on this one. He refused to call either the Jest or the Giants "New York". Once they went to the Meadowlands, he always referred to them as the New Jersey Giants and the New Jersey Jets. The only NFL team in NY is the Buffalo Bills.

Expand While you would typically be correct, in this instance "that's a thing here" is the best way for me to respond. Inside comment to DC Tom. Same as when SOME (but not all) say a guy was resigned, when they really mean re-signed. It's hard to tell which commenters are playing and which are really stupid, though. 1

But I'm not sure how telling a reporter Buffalo is not only A NY ream, but the ONLY NY team could possibly be thought of as classless or cocky. Just correcting a misconception.

Context and tone are everything - it's the wink, point and *chitk* noise, then "just kidding" that make it a "zing" Quote Not saying I don't like Allen's shtick...just saying the rest of you are...well, inconsistent.

It's refreshing to have someone gently put it out there in the media that actually, when you're in Buffalo - you ARE in NY. Loved it. Expand I went to grad school in Binghamton. Same thing - lots of Long Islanders who think that NYC and LI are all there is to NY. When I'd tell someone I'm from the Buffalo area, they'd say, "Where's that?" Just before I finished, I was in a bar with a classmate. He asked me what I was doing after graduation. "Gonna head back to The Island and look for a job?" "No. I'm not from 'The' Island." "Oh. Too bad."
