Dolphins Tight End Jonnu Smith Just Made Himself Public Enemy No. 1 In Buffalo After Torching Their Wings

I think a lot of us would feel comfortable predicting that the two teams at the top of the AFC East this season will be the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins. So, it's not like the two need anything else to heat up a rivalry that's already pretty hot, but recently-signed Dolphins tight end added fuel to the fire by taking a shot at something they take very seriously in Buffalo.

Wings.

Smith — who spent last season with the Atlanta Falcons — appeared on The Dive Bar Podcast and made it abundantly clear that he is not a Buffalo guy.

"I don’t know how they did it," Smith said. "Going from anywhere in the country and then going into Buffalo; That's got to be the worst place you can be. And the Buffalo wings ain’t even good. They ain’t even good. I’m at Buffalo. I’m at them. I’m throwing all types of shots at Buffalo."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey now. Let's not say things we can't take back, Jonnu.

I've never been to Buffalo (Jonnu would say I'm not missing out) but we owe that city a debt of gratitude for the invention of the Buffalo wing.

 I, like any self-respecting football fan, love me some wings. I'd eat them way more often if they hadn't become ungodly expensive in recent years.

I saw this coming, by the way. Not to go all Nostradamus, on you, but I've been saying it for years: wings aren't sustainable. Each chicken can only give you four pieces; two flats and two drummettes. That means an order of a dozen wings requires three chickens. It's tough to keep up with that and I think this moment in time when you go to a restaurant and chicken wings are listed as "Market Price" like they're lobster tail or crab legs was inevitable.

But I digress…

My point is that you can dump on the weather in Buffalo, you can rag on the nightlife, I'd even let you rip on Bills Mafia, but dissing the city that gave us wings? That is a bridge too far.

Of course, I'm sure that when the Smith and Dolphins roll into Highmark Stadium on November 3, will have these comments on their minds
