      You'd actually think that the Bills and the Giants would be the big arch rivals, not the Bills and Miami, because of the natural NY/NJ rivalry. The Giants and the Jets are the natural "anti-NJ" teams. Miami's only claim to rivalry is that it used to be a city approximately the same size as Buffalo... until Buffalo shrank and Miami grew and now they are really far apart in size.

        I don't understand why people would have been giving him shit for a Dolphins jersey. People in Central NY have always had respect for the only team with a perfect season. We aren't in the same conference and aren't rivals...weird...

          When the Giants played the Patriots in the Super Bowl a few years ago, and killed their almost perfect season, you know all the Dolphins fans were Giants fans for a night.

            @scottalanmiller I don't disagree that Upstate NYers HATE downstate. There are TWO NYs. Non-NYers don't know this, but we do. However, sports has a funny effect on people. Ever seen Remember the Titans? That is not an exaggeration for the power of sports on people.

              I don't really care where they play as long as they keep buying our goal posts.

                Besides, building a stadium downstate makes more sense. More people in a smaller geographical area, so you would, as a rule, be safe to assume naturally higher attendance, etc. You want to talk about something that is hard to obtain? Try NY Giants Season Tickets. People literally leave them to the next generation in their wills, because there are no season ticket spots available right now, and the waiting list to get them is insanely long!

                  Your company makes the goal posts for the NFL?

                    Yep, especially now after the new rules were in place. We were the only company to get a product out before the deadline.

                        Adding 5' to the top of each goalpost upright.

                          Interesting...doesn't seem like that'd be a hard thing to fabricate differently than before. Extra material, sure, but it doesn't seem like a hard change to enact across multiple providers...

                            You'd be surprised. I think that was one of the reasons we were first to market was because everyone else thought it would be really easy to do... Also you should know that we are one of maybe 5-6 different goalpost manufactures.

                                I may write up a little expose on my company and put it in the Self Promotion section. We do some really cool things and to the average person they don't know where things like goalposts or soccer goals come from. Also I should say that everything we make is produced in either Delhi, NY or in Salisbury, NC. Which makes it even more interesting.

                                      The weather is horrible! Just drove an hour to Rochester. York where I live is worse than Rochester by a lot. But now the winds have kicked up and white outs. This storm is not supposed to stop till Thursday!

                                            You can't predict the weather in Upstate NY. You guess and hope for the best.
