The Only Good Thing About Your City: Buffalo

Buffalo, a preverbal frozen wasteland. Home of two sports teams so famous for their futility one is even contemplating moving to CANADA! When I was going through Basic Training I knew a guy who grew up in miami, only to get stationed at Fort Drum, which is near Buffalo, when he found this out he almost cried, when he found out he was getting deployed he messaged me and sounded happier than he had been the past eight months. Sit and think about that. People would rather go to AFGHANISTAN than live in buffalo. Now, onto their crappy teams.

National Football League-

Buffalo Bills: Historically there are four teams that define futility in the NFL. The Bills are one of those teams. Wanna know how many super bowl wins they have? big fat zero. Playoff appearances in the last, oh, let's say decade? Zero. The Bills are so bad, I'm fairly confident UF could beat them. Currently the Bills have on their roster Terrell Owens, a man so distracting he can singlehandedly cause a team to implode a pun itself faster than a Red Giant. The Bills may become the first NFL team to move to canada, They play one game a season in in the Rodgers Centre in canada and would effectively make Toronto the proud owners of one of the NFL's worst franchises.

National Hockey League-

Buffalo Sabers: The Sabers have shown flashes of greatness, When Dominick Hasek and Michale Peca played for them many people considered the Sabers perennial playoff contenders. Joining the league in the '70-'71 season the Sabers are in the "Never won a stanley Cup" club. Their Current goaltender Ryan Miller is widely considered the second coming of Mike Richter, that is, a highly talented American goaltender.

Buffalo is hard to hate mainly because of how harmless they are. their fanbases are nowhere near as annoying as their cousins in NYC, and their neighbors to the east in Boston. Buffalo fans are one of the most tortured groups of people who've endured some terrible teams in their history, and it's just fun to make jokes at their expense. 14 down, 108 to go. Next post: New York City. (if you hadn't noticed the pattern, I'm going from North to South, East to West.
