did not buy CI this year after the free period expired. I've seen this tired act before, and just like the Bills, I refuse to waste time and emotion into a product that the handlers don't seem to want to take the steps necessary for the team to improve. Just as I might tune in a game or two with the Bills, I don't really get all that emotionally invested anymore. This took me 40 years to get to that point, but in all honesty, I have a lot more important things going on that sports. With two very young children, I cannot really justify spending the meat of a weekend or a night investing in an inferior product that is just going to piss me off.
Therefore, I am happy when they win, and someone ambivalent when they lose. But until the Bills have a new owner, and the Sabres have a new coach/GM, I am just not going to care as much. Sorry if that makes me a crappy fan, but like others have pointed out, at some point, the battered spouse has to fight back...
