The Buffalo Bills have announced that Sunday's game against the New England Patriots is sold out, and will be televised locally.
We don't mind giving a little free advertising to Russell Salvatore of Russell's Steaks, Chops & More in Williamsville (hometown of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski), because he bought the tickets, and that's a fairly excellent holiday gift he's given to tons of Bills fans in Western New York.
Three of Buffalo's last four home games - against Jacksonville, Detroit and Cleveland (Pittsburgh sold out) - had been blacked out locally. Let's make a pact, Bills fans: we can't let this happen again next year. Embrace the Fitz and pony up for 2011; it should be a fun ride.
