Now this is an economic crisis.
The threat of a lockout of the National Football League could affect the economy in one vital segment: The buffalo wing industry.
Various media outlets are reporting that an NFL lockout could cripple the makers of the tasty chicken treat, as chicken farmers routinely bank on the seasonal boom that football brings their business.
I’m a lifelong Raiders fan and can personally attest to the vital combination of football and buffalo wings:
I love watching football.
I love eating buffalo wings.
Doing both at the same time is utter bliss.
Without football, I can still eat wings.
But it’s just not the same.
Football fans understand what I’m saying.
So as the NFL owners and players continue their standoff, they should bear in mind that it’s not just the fans that are chewing their fingernails.
The buffalo wing world, too, awaits with bated breath.
And now for this week's:
SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE
A sneak preview about the topic of next week's blog:
In an attempt to curb smoking, the Australian government is requiring packs of cigarettes to have "ugly packaging" in dark green and put messages like "SMOKING KILLS" in large letters.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say smoking will continue Down Under.

If buffalo wings cease to exist, life as we know it will be over
Nothing like football and wings on a Sunday
Oh God. Men.
What about other snacks? Chips? Beer? Pretzels? What's next that can be endangered if the NFL locks out?
The NFL better not lock out. That would fuckin' suck
The NFL and buffalo wings will be in full force this season, guaranteed
