Nine Is the Loneliest Number

Buffalo can be a sports crazy city, and I got a taste of it while driving down Elmwood Avenue doing some final holiday shopping (bones/treats for Walker Evans) today.
On the porch of a house across the street from the parking lot of JP Bullfeathers this afternoon, a football jersey was hung; not just any jersey, but a Dallas Cowboys' jersey with number 9 and "ROMO" on the back for quarterback Tony Romo. This may be the smallest club in Buffalo, particularly for longtime Dallas fans, although I do have a colleague, Paul Henderson, who may be a member of the smallest football club in Erie County; he is a massive Miami Dolphins' fan, and no, I haven't let him hear the end of the Bills' 21-0 win over the Dolphins last Sunday.
