Football fans in the 518 are divided among the following NFL teams: Giants, Jets, Bills, Cowboys, Patriots, Steelers, Dolphins, & Eagles. There's even a few Raiders fans, and some bandwagon jumpers wearing Chiefs merch after Kansas City won the Super Bowl, or Bucs gear now that ex-Patriots Tom Brady & Rob Gronkowski play for Tampa Bay.
Kansas City hosts New England in the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader on CBS, airing in most of the country. Bills fans in the Tri-Cities are up in arms because CBS affiliate WRGB chose that game over the Buffalo Las Vegas game, according to Pete Dougherty of the Albany Times-Union. WRGB can make all the excuses they have to, but if their market research says there's not enough interest in the AFC East-leading Bills, then they need to recheck their data.
Two AFC East-West games running concurrently, and you'd have to hit your favorite sports bar for dinner & drinks to watch both games at the same time, or just watch the games over a pitcher of soda.
And, oh, by the way, WXXA, the Fox affiliate, will have the Giants-Rams game airing opposite the CBS game. Pass the Maalox.

Troy High's golf teams have yet to chart a win a week into the season.
As noted last time, the Troy men lost to Averill Park on Tuesday, but it took the Times-Union until today to post the results. Senior Alex Wolfe, now a 3-sport star at Troy, was the low scorer for his side again, carding a 43 through 9 holes in the 257-288 loss. John Durocher took medalist honors for the Warriors with a 38.
Thursday's women's match between Troy & Guilderland was called after 8 holes due to darkness, with Guilderland beating Troy, 132-162. Molly Bisceglia led Troy (0-2) with a 43. The Troy men are now 0-4 after falling to the Dutchmen, 264-302. Riley Mitchell's 43 was low for the Flying Horses, who now get a week off before teeing it up vs. CBA. Not all of the Troy women's matches are listed on Schedule Galaxy, but we'll update it for you next time.

History was made in Atlanta on Thursday as the Braves completed a 2 game shutout sweep of Cincinnati to advance to the National League Division Series against either Miami or Chicago.
Shenendehowa grad Ian Anderson went six innings, walking two, giving up two hits, and striking out nine to pick up the win. Marcell Ozuna & Adam Duvall, the latter a former Red, added late homers to put the series away.
Let's enjoy Anderson's latest highlight reel, courtesy of ESPN & MLB's YouTube channel:
Anderson snapped a personal two-game losing streak, and could face his nemesis, the Marlins, if they close out the Cubs today. The Braves will play their NLDS at Minute Maid Park in Houston. The series is set to begin, I believe, on Monday, meaning if manager Brian Snitker goes back to ace Max Fried in game 1, Anderson would get game 2. Stay tuned.
