I watched a guy in downtown Buffalo quietly pay the dinner tab for a family from Cincinnati yesterday. He told the server to tell them “thank you” and nothing more. The whole Buffalo/Cincinnati thing is kind of the pinnacle of what sports should be.

The Bills could’ve hired Vince Lombardi. The Bills could’ve drafted Joe Montana. The Bills could’ve had a different kicker in 1990. The Bills could’ve drafted Gronk. The Bills could’ve kidnapped Tom Brady and rocketed him into the sun. None of it matters.

The whole Bills thing isn’t just about football. It’s about 20+ years of having your city trashed along with a football team. It’s been about knowing what other people didn’t; Buffalo is a good place. It’s having to defend a city to people who’ve been there twice or never...

During The Drought, the Bills had a “win and you’re in” game against the Steelers who had nothing to play for. The Steelers played their backups and unknowns and beat the Bills. THAT is why I’ll never take anything in sports for granted.

When I was an intern I was getting liners from players. I get to Nate Clements and he does “Nate Clements, cornerback, THE Ohio State University.” Vincent yells “you didn’t go to Ohio St. You PLAYED for Ohio St. Name one building that isn’t the stadium. You can’t.” He couldn’t.
