Nick's intro[]
"Wide right."
Scott Norwood's missed Super Bowl field goal
That was the call when placekicker Scott Norwood's last second 47-yard field-goal attempt missed its mark, losing Super Bowl XXV for the Buffalo Bills. They'd go on to lose Super Bowls XXVI and XXVII and XXVIII, a four-year run of futility that is fitting for this troubled pro-football franchise and its tortured fanbase.
After all, this is a team whose most famous player remains O.J. Simpson.
But the city in upstate New York, the state's second-most populous, thankfully has another claim to fame: Buffalo wings, the seasoned flats and drumettes that have become as American as the NFL.
The two biggest Buffalo-wing joints in the U.S. took opposite paths to glory: one, a draft beer-pouring bar that draws big crowds to watch live sports; the other, a to-go-focused outlet that skimps on the dine-in experience, but provides ease of ordering and pick-up.
But when it comes to flavor, whose wings fly through the uprights?
This week on Doughboys, the last match-up of the Quarter Pounder Final round of Munch Madness: The Tournament of Chompions: Chicken Fight: Wing Region - Buffalo Wild Wings v. WingStop.
Let's a-go!
Chicken Fight Rules[]
- Only focus on the chicken.
- Sides stay on the sidelines.
- Drinks are in the Gatorade jug (also on the sidelines).

Nick, Mitch, and Nicole all visited Buffalo Wild Wings together and shared their orders (Evan Susser went with them, as well). They seem to have gone to WingStop individually though.
