Saturday evening I was sitting at home, relaxing on the couch and watching some NFL Network. They were replaying the Bills-TitansOilers comeback game. I found it amusing to watch, remembering back when Buffalo was relevant. When what should catch my eyes at the bottom of the screen? None other than "Bills Sign Terrell Owens." That about did it for me, I spilled my soda all over my shirt, fell off of the couch and was immediately mauled by the dogs who had mistaken my laughing either for dying or for a seizure. When I regained my composure, I immediately made a note to myself to make the drive to Buffalo again for that first Patriots-Bills matchup. I mean, this "TO-Buffalo" thing certainly doesn't have the potential of going wrong, right? Bad quarterback, crummy team, worst city in the United States not named Gary, IN or Columbus, OH, and feet of snow.
I can see it now...I'll be sitting in the bleachers at Ralph Wilson Stadium, in the middle of nowhere in the most depressing NFL city. The Patriots will be up by about 40 points, Brady will have hit Randy Moss for about a buck fifty and three TDs. They'll be joking on the sidelines, I'll be living it up in the bleachers (again) surrounded by bitter, angry BillFan (who gets credit for showing up and staying until it is over.) "The Original 81", who at this point will have about 3 catches for 26 yards, will sprint down the sideline and watch Trent Edwards loft another ball over his head. That likely will be the end. The sideline drama will make Donovan McNabb-TO look like a Paris Hilton flick. My only hope is that when I film the meltdown on my camera phone for some YouTube hilarity, the Pats aren't penalized any draft picks.
Yeah, this season will be fun. Thanks, Buffalo!
Nothing could go wrong here...
