RJsackedagain Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Having lived in several sports markets and seeing local sports media, I would agree with that statement. 565236[/snapback] not true ... if you fark up in NYC you get lambasted by newspapers, tv and radio worse than in Buffalo. True there are other teams down here to cover as well, but there's way more outlets for ripping a team here than in Buffalo, which has one or two real papers two (including Rochester's), WGR and three tv stations.

I'll give you the Yankees, when they're in season everything else is second fiddle. However from the middle to end of the NFL season football is the prime sport in the city uuntil it's teams are out of it. The Knicks don't really kick into gear until after the NFL season. Nobody was talking about the Knicks with the Giants in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports earlier this year stated that TD wanted "X" as coach and Ralph wouldn't pay whoever TD wanted. Someones fuggin lying to us and I for one being a "loyal" fan am getting sick of the bullSiht.

Also, 20% of 20 million people equals a lot more people than currently reside in Buffalo. It's hard to compare I suppose. In Buffalo the team lives in a fishbowl with most of the population peering in. It might be easier to hide in NYC, but even hidden there are a lot more people critical of the teams than in Buffalo.
