Hallmark Decided To GO BILLS !!!

No, that isn’t a picture of me above. I’m the one in the back in green. Every year I have posted a version of the same holiday season post about Hallmark movies and how they all have the same plot over and over year after year. I do still think that’s true and might bring back that post at a later date. I know, phew, you were hoping for that. There’s a reason for my divergence from my usual holiday blog post routine…

Yep, I’m a Buffalo Bills fan. I didn’t grow up a Bills fan. I inherited that proclivity from my late wife. My childhood favorite team, the New York Jets, have not done anything interesting since 1969, so it was pretty easy for me to jump ship. The Bills have done very well over the past six years and are popular enought to earn themselves a Hallmark holiday movie. Despite how insipid it will be, I will be glued to the television on Saturday November 22nd watching it. Now that I think of it, I should got out to a local pub and watch it.

Starting last year, Hallmark is now doing a movie with teams and fans from different cities. The Bill’s are currently one of the best teams in the league but haven’t yet won a championship. Hopefully Hallmark can see past their usual format and do something different with these city specific movies. They did one last year in Kansas City, but I didn’t watch it because me and everyone in western New York, except my one neighbor, hate Kansas City. That’s why I didn’t link to the Kansas City Cheifs website. AS you are my readers, you must side with me and ignore Kansas City until The Bills win a championship.

If you watched that preview, yes, we do go around saying “Go Bills” everytime we see someone else in Buffalo Bills clothing. I’m curious, do you folks in the U.K. or elsewhere do that with your football teams?

Have a great Sunday, and I’ll see you on Saturday November 22nd when you’ll be watching the Bills Hallmark movie with me from wherever you live.  THanks for reading! ~Phil
