Filling seats easier for Bills than winning games

 Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills must be doing something right, even if nobody’s sure what it is. Reports claim that they’re on track to sell 55,000 season tickets for 2009, which is a remarkable accomplishment for a team that’s spent a decade proving true parity is impossible. Fans are on board for whatever reason, and now the franchise just has to prove that...
What's the buzz about?

Nobody can ever question the loyalty and support the good people of WNY have given the Bills thru all these years. This is all the more impressive when one considers the franchise, except for a few isolated periods, has basically been a loser. If the team is moved after Ralph Wilson dies it certainly won't be because of fan support which would be a very sad statement indeed.

For the first time ever I feel as though Anthony has read our posts. This article follows yesterday's discussion of why we still care to attend the games. Bialy's paragraph at the end comes the closest to describing my position on the matter.

"Season-ticket buyers are also maintaining faith for practical reasons. Specifically, those who have suffered through the 2000s are ensuring they’ll be around for a possible ultimate payoff; it would be foolish to quit now after enduring years of rotten-to-mediocre football. They’ve pumped enough coins into a stingy slot machine that they may as well stay parked in front of it until it pays off— or until their quarter cup is empty."

After all, I've watched and waited this long.

I thought about it a little more last night and the best comparison that I can come up with is that of a guy married for 25+ yrs to someone that's not all that pretty, doesn't have a lot of money and has lost her interest in sex. She is however, very interested in putting large objects into your colon once a week for 16 weeks. Somehow... that's become good enough......... until she gets a make over, wins the lottery and rediscovers her passionate side. Hey, it's possible.

Till 'death' do us part. (that would be spelled r-e-l-o-c-a-t-i-o-n)

"...putting large objects into your colon..."??? Between your last avatar depicting gay oral sex and now this reference, could someone possibly be wanting to come out of the closet? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
