Love the Way the Media looks at the NFL

If your a Bills fan you know what I'm talking about. The National Media overlooks the Bills. The Bills have a huge following and it is evident by the Bills backers clubs throughout the nation. When the Bills and Steelers play on the field there are alot of transplants in attendance rooting on them. Last year the Bills played the Panthers in Charlotte. My son Tyler, who lives there, told me that the parking lot they tailgated in was full of Bills fans. He said during the game when the Bills scored, the place went nuts. My sister lives in LA. She went to see the Bills play in Seattle a couple of years ago and it was full of Bills fans. Then why does the national media overlook this team. It seems that the major market teams get better coverage. But, when you look at the sidebars concerning teams like the Bills there seems to be more support for them in their market. Take the TV ratings for individual games. Green Bay, Pittsburgh and Buffalo all always have better ratings for their games then teams like the Giants, Jets, Patriots, Dolphins. I could go on and on. And, the NFL wants to put a team back in Los Angeles. They've had two teams in the past and couldn't support anyone of them. Los Angeles is a baseball town. New York is a baseball town. Buffalo and Pittsburgh are football towns. Nuff said.
