The Dean Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 When you say they signed the biggest FA-I am guessing you meant F*cking Assh*le, he sure wasn't the biggest Free Agent, by any stretch. When was the last time the biggest Free Agent in the NFL was only wanted by one team and they made a list of teams that wanted no part of him-I call it the Common Sense List. Haynesworth was this offseason's biggest (literally and figuratively) FA signing. But TO is in the top 5, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Upstate and WNY are really one. We could get 4 teams in the tourney...SU, Cornell are in...hopefully UB and a big long shot with Niagara who will at least make the NIT. Good for upstate. If this high speed rail actually is constructed upstate really will be one big area. Syracuse people can get to Buffalo in a couple hours, Rochester in less than an hour. It is a good way to grow the area and market 4M people (Buff-Roch-Cuse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means, "north of the NYC area". 95% of the land mass of NYS is "upstate", as used by the media, and those residing in the NYC area (NYC, LI and maybe Westchester County). Are you suggesting WNY is the same as Albany (upstate), Watertown (upstate) and Cortland (upstate)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlHowardman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 .. I currently live in Saratoga Springs,... Driving south of Saratoga on Route 9 last summer I drove by a bar. The bar had a NE Patriots* neon light in the window. A Patriots Bar? In New York? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlHowardman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I judge Upstate NY by Bills fans and have found that Syracuse and west is mostly Bills fans...so its cool to include. Actually, Utica west is SOLID Bills fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockinon Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 From a NYC perspective, sure. But then, so is Westchester County. I went to school in Potsdam - Syracuse is not upstate as far as I'm concerned. Ever heard of Parishville? That's where I'm from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I think the discrepancy is between Bills fans in the Buffalo area and Bills fans in the Rochester/Syracuse area. Growing up in Rochester, you root for Buffalo Bills football and Syracuse Basketball...they are Rochester's unofficial or borrowed home teams...and that Cuse game was awesome last night..."let's go Orange", but maybe Buffalonians don't feel the same affinity to the Orangemen. Now living in New York City, I have had this debate with a lot of New Yorkers...and my perspective is that Upstate New York is from north of Yonkers to say Albany and Saratoga Springs...Northern New York is the Adirondack region and North...Central New York is say Schenectedy, Utica, Rome, Oneida...and from Syracuse west is Western New York, cause that is where the eastern shore of Ontario cuts the state--creates the part of New York that sticks out to the west... but maybe its all just a matter of perspective as to where you grew up or currently live.
