Bills fans get last laugh after radio host says Buffalo shouldn’t have a team

Sure, the rest of the U.S. rags on us when the snow piles up in Buffalo. But to say that Buffalo shouldn’t have a football team because of the bad weather? We’ll fight back.

We have the snow; they’ve got the heat and the hurricanes. And maybe we do have to dig ourselves out a couple of times a year, but at least it’s just beautiful, soft snowflakes falling on our heads:

Don’t mind us Bills fans − we’ll be laughing all the way to the (snow) bank.
