Wolf Blitzer roasted for outdated TV setup after celebrating Bills playoff win

Wolf Blitzer roasted for outdated TV setup after celebrating Bills playoff win

If it ain’t broke, Wolf Blitzer ain’t replacing it.

The veteran CNN anchor celebrated his Buffalo Bills’ wild-card victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday with a post to X featuring one thumbs up and one index finger aimed at the final score: 31-7.

The flaunting did not extend to his antiquated television setup, though, and people online are letting Blitzer hear it.

“5 remotes, cable box, dvd, vcr and a 480p. What a world,” one X user wrote in reference to his archaic setup.

“Wolf said,’I’m not buying a new set until the Bills go back to the Super Bowl.’” wrote another.

“Ain’t no way I see a plugged in VCR in 2025,” chimed a third.

‘Love the two VCR’s. Can rewind one while watching another. Veteran move,’ opined a fourth.

In addition to the tech — or lack thereof — the wood casing got some love, too.

“Is that a home entertainment center or a portal to Narnia?” a user wrote.

Few and far between though they were, Wolf’s configuration did have its supporters.

“Why do I feel so at peace seeing this TV set up? Brings me back to my childhood for sure!” wrote one.

“I’ve never really been a fan, but I might need to reconsider that after seeing your home setup. Respect,” commented another.

“We have older tech, also. Some people are happy with what they have. The money we save compounds quite nicely,” wrote a third.

Wolf, a lifelong Bills fan and University at Buffalo alumnus, did not respond to any of the comments, not even the one accosting him of pulling the television out of a “storage locker in the first episodes of ‘Storage Wars’ 15 years ago.”

Buffalo triumphed over Denver in the wild-card round on the back of a stellar-as-usual performance from signal caller Josh Allen, who completed 20-of-26 pᴀss attempts for 272 yards and two touchdowns. 

Blitzer’s next opportunity to see Allen and company at work will come Sunday when the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens with a trip to the AFC Championship game on the line.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET.
