Think about this. The phrase "The Bills are in the playoffs" has never been tweeted, posted on Facebook, or uttered by an Uber driver. It has never been told over satellite radio. It has never been streamed. It has never been blogged or vlogged. It has been faxed, though.
@SlavaMalamud Hi! Could we please use your tweet on our show tomorrow morning?
@SlavaMalamud @WillSoistman Blogs existed in 1999.
@SlavaMalamud @MattCundill How did I know this was your RT, Matt. ☺️
@SlavaMalamud “The Bills are Super Bowl Champions” has never been said, whispered, written, engraved, faxed, sent Western Union, been delivered by carrier pigeon or in song by a barbershop quartet, via any form of social media, telepathically or in a bro moment that needed no words.
@SlavaMalamud @hotlinejosh Every @Browns fan yawns
@SlavaMalamud I blame their drought on the Y2K bug.
@SlavaMalamud @BryanONolan To all my loyal Buffalo friends: go Bills,
@SlavaMalamud @DisplacedBills It was likely emailed via dial-up internet to someone’s AOL account.
@SlavaMalamud Bengals playoff victory has never been conveyed on any device requiring electricity
@SlavaMalamud "The browns are in the playoffs" predates literature
@SlavaMalamud After today that can only be said about the #Mariners
@SlavaMalamud @Buccigross Last time “The Bills are in the playoffs,” was said, I was in Cabo watching the game against the Titans having just finished my first semester in college. I turn 37 in March!
@SlavaMalamud That is a magnificent use of 280 characters. Thank you!
@SlavaMalamud @Austan_Goolsbee So old I remember when "What?? Buffalo beat Miami??? You're sick, you're sick!" was part of a Steve Martin stand-up routine.
@SlavaMalamud XM started in 1998, so yes they have been on satellite radio
@SlavaMalamud @CJ_Stevenson "Leafs win the Stanley Cup"has not even been faxed or watched on colour TV.
@SlavaMalamud Half of the people who I watched their last playoff game with, are dead now
@SlavaMalamud @AlexJMiddleton And never been texted....
@SlavaMalamud @mboudrot79 I thought about you when I saw this tweet! I hope you are well.
@SlavaMalamud Think about this. In the history of the universe the Buffalo Bills have never won a Super Bowl.
@SlavaMalamud @TonyFratto I am very happy for my Bills friends! A long wait! Go Patriots!
@SlavaMalamud @scottsiepker "TELEGRAPH, SIR!" "I'm busy." "You're going to want to s-" "I SAID NOT NOW" *hand quivering, hands over the paper; wipes his brow* "The Bills?" "Yes, sir" "...has this been verified?" "It has, sir" "...fire up my dirigible"
@SlavaMalamud Well now after understanding what a big deal this is, since my team didn’t make it this year, I now have a team to cheer for!! Go @BuffaloBills! @LukeRussert
