I know I shouldn’t care
About men playing a game
But despite midlife and all this gray hair
It matters—it matters all the same
This was supposed to be the year
We put the ’90s anguish behind
The pinnacle was oh so near
But sadly, I guess I was blind
Blind to the truth in Western New York
That we’ve never won a single thing
Aside from that Golden Snowball Award
Sorry, but that doesn’t have the same ring
Where I live we know about loss
Population, football games, industry, and more
Is it so much to ask that one day you’ll toss
A bone our way on the Lake Erie shore
Of course I know that I can just wait
Or grow up instead and find a new way
But you Buffalo, you are my fate
So go Bills—I love you anyway

we feel your pain.
Haha. Thank you!
Nice expression after the loss to the Bengles. I think that the future is bright.
As they say in Buffalo, next year is the year.
