Bills Mafia has a new governor.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo really wants to watch his Buffalo Bills this fall, he expressed during his Monday press conference on the coronavirus. The pandemic is threatening to postpone the 2020 NFL season, but Cuomo said he wants to help bring professional sports back in New York.
“Personal disclosure, I want to watch the Buffalo Bills. But I’m still objective, acting as governor, there’s no personal agenda here,” Cuomo said lightheartedly. “Yes, I do want to watch the Bills. But that is not subverting my role as governor. I think this is in the best interest of all the people and the best interest of the state of New York — even though I do have a coincident, personal agenda because I want to watch the Bills. But they are separate agendas. At least some would say I have a conflict of interest; I want to disclose it.”
Cuomo, a native of Queens, seemingly couldn’t help but express his fandom for the Bills, who went 10-6 last season and lost to the Texans in a wild-card game.
