Off Main Street: Hard-earned honor ...
The offbeat side of the news

The Bills may have handily won their season opener against the Seattle Seahawks, but chalk up a dubious achievement for the 12th man, too.

Joe Tone, a blogger for Westword, a Denver alternative weekly, recently deemed Bills fans the “Superbowl Champion of Hammeredness.”

Tone picks division winners, conference champions and a Super Bowl champ. Each is accompanied by a YouTube video showing fans in various states of inebriation and undress.

Bills fans win the AFC East. Why?

“They might be losing their team to Canada, but they’ll lose their livers first.”

We also take the AFC championship. The reason?

“Makes sense, really. What the hell else is there to do in Buffalo?”

After being told of our proximity to Niagara Falls, arts scene and architectural wonders, Tone told Off Main Street he would come here and reassess.

[B]The video that brought Bills fans the Vince Lombardi Trophy for rowdiness features a shirtless young man running amok in a frozen, snow-covered Ralph Wilson Stadium parking lot shouting obscenities about the Patriots.[/B]

While that fan’s mother must be proud, one anonymous person wasn’t impressed:

“This is a list of ‘Which teams have the best drunk videos on YouTube?’ nothing more.”


yes yes, that is the blog's very own Steve they are referencing
