What To Say When There's Nothing Left To Say  
I'm Tired Of It

December 13, 2005 
In the past five years of watching Buffalo Bills football and writing for Bills Daily I’ve seen some pretty ugly things. I’ve been treated to many games I thought were the low point of the season only to be proved wrong in a subsequent week. It’s getting really hard to write new and/or witty things about the performance of the Bills, both on and off the field. Perhaps I take it harder than other writers - after all, I am merely a fan voicing his opinion for free, not some salaried and credentialed journalist whose job it is to write. 
In any event, I have nothing left to say, and no witty way to say it. It is time to vent; time to write what I really want to shout from an open window; time to get some things off my chest in the hopes I will feel even a little bit better.
