Ravens' McGahee Buffalo's Public Enemy No. 1
In today's Sun, Ravens beat writer Jamison Hensley has an excellent article about the venomous disdain that Buffalo fans have for Ravens running back Willis McGahee. The Ravens and Bills play in Buffalo this Sunday so it's the first time that Bills fans have an opportunity to personally vent after his messy departure. McGahee, while in Buffalo, mentioned it wouldn't be such a bad idea to move the team to Toronto and after he was traded, had less-than-flattering things to say about the town. Most of the YouTube videos where Bills' fans express their views include George Carlin-like language that doesn't pass muster here. But one of the more elaborate We-hate-Willis efforts is a T-shirt and rap song available on willisistrash.com (both Jamison and the D.C. Sports Bog website have also noted it).

Hey, we're not selling the T-shirts, just reporting on them. I suppose you're from the ostrich school of journalism ... pretend something's not there.

Ostrich School of Journalism, huh? LOL. You flatter yourself to even consider your tripe journalism. There are things that are worth reporting, and things not worth reporting. Clearly, you don't know the difference between the two.

I'll take your observations under consideration, Mr. Mencken.

Willis burned his bridges...
Who wouldn't dislike a former player who spoke poorly about your town - even doing the unimaginable by saying the whole team should move to another country? It was unfathomable to us "Buffalonians" especially after we cheered and wanted him to do so well after his knee injury. This is a city where on a victorious evening you can hear the sounds of car horns playing the theme "Let's go Buff-a-lo." We are huge fans of football and hockey.
It's true Baltimore, watch this guy because you have our garbage now.
