The Southtowns Clowns lost by 110 points this week

Self-explanatory.


--- Consider him a MasterCard bill, because the credit is due ---

Have you ever seen such a thorough evisceration outside of a slaughterhouse? On the field, the Bufflao Bills played with more apathy than high school seniors the Friday before graduation. That lack of effort carried over to the Southtowns Clowns, who may have suffered the worst loss in the history of fantasy football.

It certainly didn’t help that both the Bills and Clowns had to face Drew Brees and Mark Ingram. But who would’ve figured the Saints would’ve gone to a ground-and-pound gameplan to dispose of Buffalo like a bag full of dog poop?

Ingram’s 131 yards and three touchdowns were more than enough to beat the Bills on his own. Overall, New Orleans outgained Buffalo 482 yards to 198, had triple the amount of first downs (32 to 10) and only allowed a garbage-time touchdown to the backups after Sean McDermott finally pulled his starters.


--- Clownin’ around ---

The only bright spot (if you can even call it that) is that the Bills rushed for 69 yards on the ground.



Not that it would’ve made any difference, but the jackwagon that owns Team 10 refuses to deal Kelvin Benjamin to me. I can only offer up Kaelin Clay, who now plays for Carolina. But he’s got Benjamin on his bench and could’ve given me 4.2 wholly worthless points yesterday.


A petition to have Team 10 trade Benjamin to the Clowns is currently being discussed in the lower chamber of Congress.

--- Next time out ---

I honestly don’t want to slog through the rest of this season. After a promising 2-1 start, the Clowns have fallen off a cliff. I’m also realizing once more my burning hatred for fantasy sports – even when the team is completely made up of my favorite team. But I have an obligation to continue to do right by this site and see it out.

Next week, the 5-4 Bills will face the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time since 1960.

The Chargers stand at 3-6, can barely wrangle up more fans than the Home Depot website, and are the best chance to keep the Bills above .500 before the god-awful divisional onslaught that will be the month of December.


The 2-8 Southtowns Clowns, meanwhile, will take on Erich Campolungo's ALB Men of Mayhem, whose record is 5-5. Last time these two met, the Clowns emerged victorious with a narrow five-point win. It remains the last team Southtowns has beaten.


--- Prediction ---

You have to think the team will get back on track this weekend. You just have to Billieve it. Clowns take this one, 85-83.7.

The Story Behind the Hilarious Marshawn Lynch Applebee’s Clip

Image
A video from 2007 featuring then-rookie running back Marshawn Lynch has recently been making the rounds on social media. The clip then exploded when ESPN tweeted it out on Wednesday, allowing many followers to enjoy its humour for the first time. While the video itself is funny enough, there’s a heavy backstory to it that many who weren’t Bills fans at the time might not know. - - -  Willis McGahee was drafted by the Bills in 2003, and from 2004-2006 was the team’s starting running back.   After the 2006 season ended, McGahee sat down for an interview with Penthouse, in which he seemed to suggest the team should move to Canada. The comments did not sit well with fans, who for nearly two decades had to deal with relocation rumours surrounding the team. They despised him for what he said; they burnt posters of him, wrote songs for their YouTube channels, sold “Willis is Trash” t-shirts, and even chipped in for billboards. About two months after (and perhaps because of) the Pent...

Old Team Tuesday: The Burke brothers

Image
Old Team Tuesday is a weekly feature taking a look at former teams that have gone by the wayside. T his week’s edition takes a look at the most successful youth baseball team Buffalo ever produced. ********************************************** At Cazenovia Park in Buffalo, there are two baseball diamonds and a softball field nestled along Warren Spahn Way. Spahn, the greatest baseball player to ever call Western New York home, represented South Park High School on that dirt. However, for all the accolades Spahn would go on to collect in his 21 seasons as a major league pitcher, his story isn’t the only legend born on that field. In 1929 – some 18 years before the Little League World Series was established – a group of teenage boys that epitomized the term “rag-tag” had a summer to remember, and it all started with a little rejection. --- Hot starters --- James “Mugsy” Flynn rounded up the rest of the castoffs and implored them to work on their fundamentals in order to...

Old Team Tuesday – The history of pro baseball in Buffalo

Image
Old Team Tuesday is a weekly feature taking a look at former teams that have gone by the wayside.  This week’s edition does not look at the history of a single team, but revisits the entire scope of professional baseball in Buffalo as a whole. ********************************************** Over the course of 140 years, the city of Buffalo has seen everything professional baseball has to offer, whether it be a great triumph or a heart-wrenching loss. Most Western New Yorkers will recognize the Buffalo Bisons as the region’s primary baseball team, and as a beacon of continuity and stability. However, the rocky years of the early 1900s and the turmoil of the 1960s almost wiped out the city’s baseball culture forever. --- Notable and National --- In 1877, a new franchise named the Bisons played their first season in the New York State Association, finishing with a record of 3-11. Because of their dreadful record, the team folded following the season. Howev...
