This is how I feel about about my Summer passion, take it or leave it, know it or clue it.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who actually feels a certain emotion, a particular feeling about this topic. I'm from Fredonia New York. For those of you who are less geographically intelligent than myself or any other person who's never heard of Buffalo, Fredonia is a very small town only know for the amount of bars that are in one square mile. Even though that's the one thing I'm able to brag about here; I feel that I am able bodied to speak about sports I'm interested in, disgusted and fed up with, however I feel. Should I not be able to speak my mind around here with out people thinking that I either care too much or, am being a baby?! - I say that the problem around here is that since the Buffalo sports teams haven't really won around here in a while ( except for the Sabres near Stanley cup appearance) Buffalo hasn't really had a lot to brag about. If you were to talk about the Bills what would you say? Could you possibly brag about the winning percentage of the Bills, or the talent, the uniforms, the fan base? Not really because in all actuality; the Bills have been one of the worst teams in sports for the past ten years and in those ten years they've managed to change their uniforms, for the worse, play worse, and they've managed to lose enough fans to convince the owner to make a deal with Canada to allow Canadians to watch Bills games for their Canadian pleasures.
I feel as if I have been an under spoken WNY (Western New York) fan for way too long. Hence, it's about time people actually pay attention to this part of New York. Buffalo has a lot to cheer for this year, and every year for that matter, especially in the cheering department of our newly "talented" offense. The Bills happen to have actually settled on a Quarterback this year and his name is Trent Edwards, out of Stanford, he's a smart guy with a little less athletic talent than J.P.. People who'd stand around talking their rubbish about this guy should just admit, to themselves, that they should just realize that they aren't true Buffalo fans. Why not? - one may ask, is because we've been, for three years now complaining about the dumb decisions of Losman, even before him Bledsoe (apparently a smarter, less, mobile, quarterback) was ridiculed for the same reason. Can Buffalo just settle? Who knows... In all reality, no one really knows if Buffalo fans will ever be able to settle until they reach another Super Bowl and then, finally, will these fans be able to accept their next Hall of Famer, Jim Kelly.
Now that you've heard my Buffalo Bills rant about the upcoming 08 season I think that you're about ready to hear my universal rant about recent fans, in general. Do people these days really think that dynasties just grow out of thin air? - Isn't it a problem that we have to think about players like Alex Rodriquez and base their careers on whether or not they won a championship? I actually think it's pathetic, for individualism, that an athlete can dominate as much as one does and still be downed on for not winning a championship in his/her domain/sport because the team he/she plays on may not be of caliber to win a title....-- Malarky!!!
I'm sorry if I'm being offensive, although I don't feel as if that's how I'm portraying myself to everyone, but this is truly how sports seem to be heading. I'd love to share my sports thoughts on every subject, every subject, if someone would read them. The subjects could be anything, Joshua Hamilton, the heroin addict who happens to be good at baseball, would be one of my stories. I would give all readers a very detailed, perhaps unreadable and disgusting, view on the story of this dude. I just want to know if anyone would want to hear another opinion about another story you probably hear a lot about. I'm overly into sports and also overly into writing, so please anyone who wants to hear about a story...- PLEASE, ask me anything, I'd love to share my true, possibly dark and nasty or nice and hearty, side of things.
