I’ve probably mentioned this before, but I have found my community message board to be great for blog content. This recent thread will make any Buffalo Bills fan upset. Please note that I live in Northern Virginia. I also include my own thoughts on the comments throughout this post.
Warning: there’s a NINJA among us
(Sean’s note: Now this headline is perfect to attract attention. By the way, I had no idea that Drew Drechsel of American Ninja Warrior or the YouTube star Ninja live in my neighborhood.)
I discovered this morning my 3x5’ Buffalo Bills flag missing from its post on my street-facing third floor balcony. It was secure in its base, and couldn’t possibly fall or be blown off.
(Sean's note: I think a lawyer could definitely make a case to a jury that it is possible that the flag fell.)
I don’t have any photos of it flying from my balcony, but it is similar to this photo below. The pole was an old shovel handle from the farm I grew up on so it has sentimental value. How anyone could have gotten up to my 3rd floor balcony and taken it is beyond me. Unhelpful comments degrading my team will be deleted. If you had a flag of your team stolen, you’d be upset too.
Now to the comments!
1. I’m sorry your flag has gone missing ♥️ my grandfather had a large and expensive metal mallet and metal chisels stolen from his backyard a number of years go. It really sucks but eventually it just becomes a distant memory.
This seems like a nice message, but the phrase "eventually it just becomes a distant memory" seems kind of harsh.
2. That’s disappointing, hope it shows up & let’s keep our east division strong
AFC East! WOOOOO!
3. That’s crazy that someone somehow got 3 levels up to take your flag. Hope you find it! Looking forward to a good game this weekend between your Bills and my Patriots! I’ve been impressed with the Bills’ play this season! Josh Allen is da bomb!
Forget about the flag. Let's talk some football!
4. It sucks that you got ripped off. I doubt that a fellow Bills fan would do this, but having been to OP, I can understand their determination. Go Bills ! Beat NE !
I saw a comment below before I saw this one, so you'll have to see my thoughts below.
5. That's not good I like the Bills. From a PATS fan. I would be angry also!
6. I would start with any Jets or Dolphins fans in the neighborhood
This is my favorite! Go door to door and ask neighbors to declare their favorite NFL team. If they answer Jets or Dolphins, begin waterboarding! Of course, maybe it’s another Bills fan who likes the flag. As we saw before, they are determined. This case is wide open!
7. (Replying to 6.) no the Dolphins sucks too bad for them to care lol
Poor Miami Dolphins. At least they’re going to have lots of high draft picks in 2020. Plus, they live in South Florida in the winter. And there’s no income tax in Florida. And the city is hosting the Super Bowl in February. And Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will be there for it. You know, forget that poor Dolphins statement.
8. After the Bills lose to the Patriots this Sunday, the guy who stole the flag will return it.
9. Did you report it to the police? Go Bills
There were no replies to this comment. Maybe it was an inside job!
10. Time to send in the Bills Mafia! Poncho Billa lives!
I knew there would be a reference to Bills Mafia at some point.
11. I own a unit in [neighborhood]and am wondering - is there any chance it was removed during the recent painting and pressure washing they’ve done on the exterior of the buildings? You might look in your storage closet and check with your downstairs neighbors. The crews just worked on my section of the community so I’m wondering when they did yours. Just a thought!
This makes some sense. How dare there be a good and coherent point on a message board!?!?
12. Hope the Bills get to the Super Bowl in your lifetime! Would be nice to see the Bills defeat the Patriots! #LEGENDS
And we're back to football with nothing to do with the flag.
13. (Replying to 12) They already HAVE...FOUR times in a row! No team will ever do that again. Now let’s see them WIN one in my lifetime
14. This thread actually inspired me to order a Pats flag on Amazon to arrive in time for Sunday.
Helping the economy. That's what this message board is for!
15. Pats have been to 4 of last 5 Superbowls and won 3. That’s pretty good too (not taking away from Bills of early 90s, they were awesome)
Please, let's have more Patriots fans in this discussion. That would be great.
16. (Replying to 15.) I definitely respect what the Patriots have done...best team of a generation. Brady is awesome, Belichick is a genious. Doesn’t mean I LIKE them...😝
Yes, Belichick is a genious. A genious!
17. (Replying to 16.) I like it when the AFC East is good! Too bad Darnold got mono and the Phins decided to tank for Tua. It’s a two team race!
Okay, I did not come here for a breakdown of the AFC East. I'm done.
