Are there that many Bills fans here ?

Seems like this site is always getting bombarded with "The Herd Report" these days.

Not complaining at all, if these help pay the bills (small b"). (I know that I get a lot of ads for RV dealers, because I'm constantly doing research on motor homes) and ....

Once-in -a-while, I see ads for the L.A. Angels & Dodgers (because of the region I live in).

Seems like we'd see a lot more "inside Football" (Pat Triana) than The Herd Report, how does that work ?

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

I know ads (on many web sites like BBI) automatically targeti by gender, ethnicity, geography, frequency of individual/collective interests etc.

Having said that, I'm just saying that I find it curious that a Buffalo Bills
publication shows up on a site that mainly caters to Giants fans.

Is it because the Bills are in the Northeast; why not Jets, Eagles ?

I always wonder if they get BBI ads :)

The Herd if they would take Randy off of our hands?
I've never seen an ad for The Herd.

I'm a big fan of bills. I prefer the hundreds myself, but I've never been disappointed with the fifties either.
Wait...

This isn't a Bills message board???


Seriously though, I always have the heard report advertised at the top of the screen on the home page. I always chalked it up to this being a NY site. Figured google was associating the two.
Yeah I get it too

It was really nice when you were on your hiatus. Can you go back on it?
Randy is a huge asset here

without him, we'd have nobody that ended every post with sarcastic question mark?

Well, much as he brings down the joint, he can distinguish between a declarative and an interrogative sentence(?)

I do that a lot?
Just to illustrate how worthless internet advertising really is.....

I live in upstate New York and actually follow the Bills as a second NFL team. (I started following the GIANTS five years before the current Buffalo Bills came into existence.) My wife, who is from western New York, is a big Bills fan. So I should be a prime target for ads like that.

But I have never, ever even once seen any ad promoting anything to do with the Buffalo Bills on this site.

I do get stuff from Buffalo that I have no interest in, like ads for college courses at UB (the University of Buffalo) and a lot of ads for a lot of other stuff that I have absolutely zero interest in, but never anything about the Bills or any other sports team from the big B.
It says, Buffalo's own, the Herd

That is hilarious, akin to the old adage ...

in addition to targeting ads by team or city, they target by state and sport. In that case, both teams would be tagged as "football" and "New York" and would result in each team seeing the others' ads.
