Typical TBD Guy Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 You guys are fairweather. I'm a Bills fan, Buffalo or not and that will never change. 656546[/snapback] The vast majority of us here are Bills fans because they are associated with the city of Buffalo. Take them out of WNY, and they're no longer our team. We don't care about the cool name, the particular players on the team, the neat helmet logo, the pretty uniform colors, all that other frivolous BS... the BUFFALO Bills represent our homeland, or at least our former homeland of which we are still very proud. A homeland that is intensely loyal, proud, hard-working, family-oriented, and yes also a bit depressed and insecure. The LOS ANGELES Bills would not represent all this - they'd represent gangbangers, illegal immigrants, racist cops, narcissistic artist wanna-be's, and materialistic elitist a-holes. Of course, that's just my opinion. Root for whomever you want if the Bills leave. Me? I'll turn my time and money 100% on over to college football. Fug the NFL and their big market owners. If they want to mirror MLB's "success," let 'em have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I would simply stop watching pro football (at least for a couple of years), the same way I stopped watching basketball when the Braves left. I still haven't cared about the NBA and it's getting close to 20 years since the new owner moved them to San Diego. The only reason I could see that I might eventually pay attention to the NFL again, is I'd probably get lured back into "pick-'em" pools. Following the NFL would not be the same and I expect that I would hate whatever team "replaced" the Bills. I expect that I would watch some of the college bowl games, but probably wouldn't care much about the regular season of that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I do not think any of those answers really fit for me as I would still watch but I would definately lose my passion for the game. 46+ years of history should just be thrown away because others are greedy. The entire siutuation is a shame and it shows that the big guys do not care about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 All right, 'fess up -- you guys who didn't choose the 'mass assassination' response are lying. 656584[/snapback] That's the only reason I voted and didn't complain about another worthless poll thread (which, of course, it is ).

MikeSpeed Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Cheer for any team playing against the "new" Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Personally, I'd be heart broken. I can't give up watching football though. I would follow the team where ever they go. 656446[/snapback] I find football increasingly boring as I get older anyway. I wouldnt watch the NFL. Too many poor QBs and too much poor play. If it werent for the Bills I would have no interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper13 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'm not a Bills fan. I am a Buffalo Bills fan. Team leaves and I am done with the NFL. They will both be dead to me. I live in WNY and I know it would just destroy people here. No Buffalo Bills game on Sundays in the fall is just a horriffic thought. There isn't all that much going on in WNY and the Bills are just a huge part of alot of people's lives. If RW sells the team and it moves, it would be even worse than, say, finding out your best friend has been nailing your wife, they cleaned out your bank account and the two left town after they kicked your dog and pawned your big screen TV. I'd watch college football and the NFL would just not exist in my mind anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I was a huge Braves fan. Once they left, I stopped following the NBA. Whats the point of following something that just betrayed you? 656449[/snapback] They tuuuuukkkk errrrr jobbbbssssss.... There is no loyalty in business anymore. I can understand completely if the Bills are out of Western NY in a few years. The area is dead. And I hate saying that because I still do live here.
