That's like asking why anyone in their right mind would want to live in a gigantic metropolis with insane traffic everywhere, insane prices for every single item and service imaginable, where most people are total buttwipe know-it-alls, their "likable stars" can't even get past the first round of the playoffs, and a cool million gets you a one-bedroom apartment (and a parking spot costs extra).

No, it really isn't. The gigantic metropolises with insane traffic everywhere, insane prices for every single item and service imaginable, where most people are total buttwipe know-it-alls, their "likable stars" can't even get past the first round of the playoffs, and a cool million gets you a one-bedroom apartment (and a parking spot costs extra) is where advertisers make their money, not Buffalo.

They are both rhetorical questions. That was the extent of my comparison. Thanks for taking the fun away...

I mean Milbury outwardly admits his bias. But overall, no, they're just painful to listen to. (frank) them into the sun.

I dislike Doc Emerick and his 1000 synonyms for "pass"

And the stans they get from NESN

I don't have the same issues with NBC that everyone else seems to have. Most of the time, it just screams "inferiority complex" to me.

That being said, I want more NBC games not so much because I like their broadcast, but because it means that my team matters in the national conversation.

Bingo! No one should be mad or surprised this is what is happening.

It's part of suffering.

I don't think anybody is mad or surprised. It's just that the notion of "good, I'd rather watch MSG anyway" is ass backwards. It means your team stinks.

It's amazing how all 31 fanbases all think National broadcasts are biased against their team.

Yeah that's what I meant. I'm used to the MSG guys and I like it. I am a creature of habit.

That is true, he's taken a turn.

I'm actually in the minority here that likes Dan Dunleavy.

Were they about a 50/50 split last year or was it 70/30 towards RJ?

I know RJ doesn't travel anymore (well out West at least).

RJ will forever be great in my mind. But my mind is not necessarily reality. He's dropped off quite a bit unfortunately.

I just want the Sabres to win the cup before he dies. I would love to have him in the box for the call. He doesn't need to call the rest of the game, just the final 60 seconds.

Not totally sure so I'll say "yes"

Dunleavy isn't RJ. That's a good thing.
