Unlike the parade of hot take artists that currently litter the sports media landscape, Jerry Sullivan has never seemed particularly invested in steering readers over to his side of an issue. His column in The Buffalo News often reads like the start of a conversation you might have with him at a local bar. He thinks he’s right about the Sammy Watkins trade but remains open to the possibility he could be proven wrong.
Along with the acknowledgement that his opinions aren’t facts, accessibility might be Sullivan’s finest trait as a columnist. Longtime TBN readers know very little about the people behind the bylines at the paper, but almost everyone in this town feels like they know “Sully”.
