Cocky pro decides to put down my football and hockey teams

Bill Simmons wrote a nice little piece about how now that all of his Boston teams have won championships that he has nothing to root for or do. He suggests in comparison, that this is the reason that Hugh Grant tried to pick up a prostitute. He had nailed all of the hot women he could and had hooked up with Hurley so therefore had no where else to go.

I say eronious on two counts.

1)Fuck you. Its not every day that someone gets to write that column. Sure you put in your time, but I dont feel as if this is winning gracefully. This is a very high school ass holeish thing to do.

2)Don't ever compare Boston to Buffalo. We don't even have a basketball team or a major league baseball team. Sure they have a hockey team, that actually has done pretty decent in the past couple of years. I also don't think that the pain of watching four superbowl losses in a row will compare to the minor mole hills you faced as a Boston Fan. At least you had hope. Buffalo has nothing and the fear of loosing their football team to Toronto.

Buck comments on recent activity in the NHL.

Every guy has been through the its not you its me, or I like you as a friend conversation with an attractive female. You end up in the friend zone, infatuated for years never quite getting the girl out of your head a la What About Mary. You know its leading down a path of nothing. There are some beautiful sights along the way, but you never quite get "there" and by "there" I mean in her pants. You get to hear about how other guys got there, had a grand old time down there and how she wants you to meet the new feller in her life. She still smiles at you from across the bar, but its a friendship smile, not a "I want you to lift my skirt up and fuck me in the bathroom smile". Sure she's the perfect girl in every way... but not for you, but yet you still hang on. For years.

This is my relationship with Buffalo sports. It happened as a young child for me with the Buffalo Bills. We flirted with getting into the pants for 4 straight years. But this has been covered for years and will be so just deal with it.

About a decade ago I made a fateful decision to attend SUNY Oswego to obtain a degree that I wouldn't end up doing a damn thing with. I did however fall in love with a little sport called hockey. I ended up following the Sabers. For those of you who don't get subtle hints or understand the realm of the NHL, the Sabers play in Buffalo and are destined to fuck me. They did it a couple times last year by not signing Briere or Dury. They made a relationship saving move by signing Vanek to a long term deal, however I feel it has already prolonged the misery for this morning I awoke to discover that the Sabers traded Brian Campbell. I am a bit hurt. They did get the Sharks garbage draft pick of a forward who apparently is out of shape. Maybe he just needs a little direction and conditioning. Because if there's anything that living in a cold misery ridden city does for your mental and physical health is improve it. They also got a first round pick in this years draft. At least they got something out of him because we all know that a certain someone has a hard time opening his pocket book for expensive players. Yes you saved hockey in Buffalo, but your grace period has run out... do something.
