What Does the Buffalo Bills Have to do With Timothy McVeigh?

According to some writer, the Bills having a run of 4 near misses in the Super Bowl contributed to Timothy McVeigh’s mindset and sent him on a course that would eventually see him blow up a building in Oklahoma City.

Sounds farfetched.

Politico-

To this day, even well-adjusted Buffalonians walk around imagining alternate lives in which their team actually won four Super Bowls in a row, becoming arguably the greatest team in NFL history, putting the city on the map in a way it otherwise never could have dreamed of.

Or at least won one Super Bowl, securing a happy little foothold in history. Instead, that 1990s Bills team is remembered as a tragic joke. It’s easy to pretend that sports doesn’t matter in real life, but for many millions of people, it does. It matters profoundly, every day.

After Super Bowl XXVII, Timothy McVeigh went looking for somewhere else to be, something else to do—something bigger, more meaningful, more real. Reality had failed him, in so many ways, so he went off to pursue his own fantasy of justice, very far from Buffalo.

  3. I thought Timothy McVeigh was in record short time quickly sentenced to death before he could talk and reveal details about what really happened in OKC, then found guilty by a court to make it legal, then executed.

    Waco happened the following year, under Clinton … a staged operation by BATF, who allowed CBS News an exclusive to come along & film the raid so CBS wouldn’t air an expose’ they had on the BATF
