Stormin' Norman

Late last night I was listening to good guy "Stormin' Norman Rumack" on the Fan and he was interviewing some wank from Channel Four in Buffalo.

During the interview, Rumack said this:

"Given where they've come from, and where they've been, considering they were almost out of business a couple of years ago, how can you "not" be a Buffalo Sabres fan?"

Well actually it's very easy Norm. All you have to do is consider their long and choke filled history, the sappy media coverage they get and their aggravating fair weather fans and it's extremely easy "not" to be a Buffalo Sabres fan.

Rumack apparently bought Sabres season tickets last year, so he's hopeful they go all the way this spring - which does nothing but give me the creeps.

The only time I've ever cheered for the Buffalo Sabres is when they played Ottawa in the conference semi-final last year. Ottawa is the only team I could place above the Sabres on my personal list of professional sports most distasteful teams.

After the Oakland Raiders, and the Philadelphia Flyers, I think the Sabres' fans are some of the most obnoxious. I agree with you, it is very hard to like the Sabres, no matter how many times they dodged the bankruptcy bullet. Let's say they manage to get all your favorite players on their roster, even then you have to put up with Lindy Ruff's lucifer-like apearance and never ending bitching!
Buffalo is like a gas station toilet...you don't go there unless you really have to!

Okay, I'll ignore the Buffalo-bashing that you find so fashionable.

But I will agree about the "fair-weather" nature of the Sabres coverage around here.
The main (that is, ONLY) Sports radio station in Buffalo (WGR) is full of crap!
During the lockout, they all said repeatedly how they really didn't miss hockey and the league was a mess and the team was a mess, so who cares? etc. etc.
Then last year, when the Sabres decided to be good, all of a sudden WGR was all Sabres, all the time--while completely bashing the Bills and everything they did (or didn't do).
I am SURE this has NOTHING to do with the fact that as of last year, WGR now has the Sabres radio contract....no, nothing at all.....pure coincidence.

Bite me, WGR. The Bills certainly have their fair share of problems, but Buffalo is a football town and always will be.

Well, my friend Fred... I guess even YOU are wrong once in a while. :-)
