"Blue-collar, hard-working Buffalo" — should GMTM make the Sabres reflect the city?

You're way too young to be this big of a curmudgeon.

The c-word! Yeah! Yeah! Get 'im!!!!!

"Blue-collar, hard-working" ranks right up there with "New and improved" and "All natural."

All this "blue-collar" crap is really holding this city back. Last time I checked, Buffalo has lost many factories and their jobs, just as most U.S. cities (especially those in the "rust belt" - another horrible stereotype). I think it's time Buffalo stepped out of the 20th century and realized that those days are gone. It's time to look toward the future.

I suspect the team already reflects the city. Where the only way to succeed is to win the lottery.

 

Yup.  A team that reflects Buffalo isn't going to look much different than the current incarnation.

It really is a great word. I'm glad 11 used it in another thread to remind me of its existence. I plan on using it till I'm sick of it!

I'm guessing anyone over my age (43) who isn't a basketball junkie, has no idea.

Over, and what is basketball? If one needs to be a junkie is basketball some short of slang word like 8-ball?

When you're sick of it, that will be the sign that you've become one.
