From Deadspin's Why your team sucks, Bills edition:

"It’s a Canadian city, minus all the things that make Canada nice. All the hell of Canadian winter and all the economic despair of the Rust Belt! YAY! "

Sounds like someone who has never been within the city limits to me.

We have hockey, but there is no moose or polar bear epidemic here.

His line about the metro rail was good:

"There’s a subway that runs under a single street and that represents the apex of that city’s modernity. Buffalo is like if Detroit collapsed but no one cared. It’s what Pittsburgh would’ve been if Pittsburgh never admitted that steel was over."

It's not bad. The hate is strong in this one, but you're right he does have a certain flare when going about it.

Try this every time you get the chance.

1 big ice cube. Two drops fee brothers bitters. Heaven.

And by chaser I mean the opposite of what most people do.

You start with the beer, and then sit back with a long slow sipping whiskey.

- Der Kaiser


Beer -> Whiskey. No issues here! Haha. Thanks for the bitters tip.

Thought this was going to be some "on the hunt" crap with wild turkey or fireball. Thanks goodness.

Not sure what he's talking about either. From the bias of Toronto, I can get, but we lump Buffalo into the surrounding burbs as well.

Step a few blocks out of Toronto, and it's nothing special.. Dont mind that industrial dump what is called Hamilton. You can't even find a good town on the Erie side. Port Colborne is full of inbreeds that trickle in from Dunneville.

At the end of the day, his job is to troll the fan base of these teams, and can't blame him. Gives us something to talk about.

Fireball. Jesus.

I'm 54 years old - I'm not in the "Fireball" lifestyle any more. I got nothing to prove, and on the weekends I'm trying to relax.

In my entire life, I have had 6 shots of fireball. And 4 of them were on one night.

Fireball seems like swill

So does Red Stag, but I like it.

Can't judge.

Didn't know they trained service dogs up there?



Sorry, that wasn't funny. I'll just go.

Yeah, it was a pointless purchase. He only knows the metric system, and I don't know it at all.

I had a 65 year old step up to my bar asking for fireball. Ageless liquid fun I guess.

So, this. This is what happens when the official Ottawa Senators twitter page makes a post about a number change.

I don't know why anyone drinks Fireball, if you want cinnamon whiskey then Jack Fire is the way to go.

I remember when the Fireball shot girls came to every bar on Hertel for a week straight. Really forced it upon everyone. That's likely why everyone shoots it instead.

Then when Jack Fire was introduced, they just dropped a fancy chilled dispensing machine for the bottle. You really had to go, "what is that?" because they didn't do a good job pushing the new product.
