FINALIST #1 - Brad in Buffalo (submitted 6/16) - A look at BUffalo in 2014
Things have never looked brighter for my home city, with upcoming waterfront development, the tearing down of the Aud, and the drastic reconstruction of Route 5. Let's stop for a minute and just imagine what the Buffalo of the future might look like, assuming we were to replace the Skyway, open up waterfront access, and even build that Bass Pro store!

Finalist #2 - Andrew in Lackawanna (submitted 6/19) - Greg Bauch Doesn't Have Ca
Greg Bauch is a jerk. Wait, maybe I should elaborate a little.
Two years ago as a young, innocent, bright eyed rookie contestant, I felt a certain affinity to the producer of the Mike Schopp and the Bulldog show. He was the first of the “real” on-air celebrities I had met; yet, he possessed none of...

FINALIST #3: Eric B. in Cheektowaga (Submitted 06/29)
A hot topic of discussion in the Bills’ offseason this year has been the high season ticket sales in spite of the consistent mediocrity (or worse) on the field. While I think that the relatively low price is an important factor, I don’t think it means all that much.
I think there are two reasons for the ticket sales: The Imprint Effect and the Red Sox Effect. By...

If you were thinking WGR Sports Radio was not far reaching, you would be wrong.
I was in New York City on business last week and while in a restaurant for lunch one day, I couldn’t help but overhear this conversation between a couple guys at the table next to me:
Balding Guy: So, what’s happening with the blog? You come up with anything?

Not Even the Good Guys Can Be Trusted
The death of Steve McNair is nothing short but mind blowing. However, what is being reported by the Tennessean leads me to believe that not even the seemingly “Good Guy” in the National Football League can be trusted.

Greg Buck ruined my life:
The year was 1948..I was attending a Yankees game in NY city. I was a brash,young,bright eyed 20 year old kid with his whole future ahead of him. I always had been a relatively big eater.

Over the past couple of years, for all of the Spring and Summer months, we have had to listen to ESPN and the NFL Network tell us that Brett Favre is news.

As a bespectacled young sports fan, I've always felt a bit of remorse for having not lived through the hay day of unwieldy vision-correcting athletic eyewear.

Picture a typical night at a Sabres game. The building is filled to capacity, the fans are excited, and Toni Lydman has yet to make any defensive mistakes that have put the team in a big hole yet. Max is steaming down the ice with the puck, and the only way to stop him is if the other team’s defensemen get’s his stick on him to slow him down. The officials hand comes up, Max looses...

I don't think the Buffalo Bills will move. I want to start out this blog in that way. I honestly, in my heart of hearts, believe that Jim Kelly will ride in on his white horse and save the day with the mysterious millionaire he says he has lined up to buy the team. No really, I do.

Dan in Buffalo (Submitted 06/29)
So the Sabres took the first step this past weekend in toughening up the team. The drafting of Kassian and Foligno gives them two gritty forwards who are not afraid to drop the gloves. Kassian seems to have an offensive upside as well and may be on his way to being a Lucic kind of player. The only problem is these guys might not be ready for a couple of years. Heading into free...

Golf is not a sport. There I said it. Any of you guys out there that just love to harp on the fact that this meaningless activity of the snobby rich is a competitive sport are just kidding yourselves. There is no real conditioning necessary to maintain (see Angel Cabrera) to ensure top form. I agree that there is a certain level of skill involved, but there is no way that you can compare golf to...

Hate. One word with four letters that defines the state of the Buffalo sports fan. Buffalo lives and dies through their sports like no other city. Now, some would argue that hope is our defining characteristic while others argue that failure defines us, but hate is deeply imprinted on Buffalo sports and shines through any other emotion.
A great deal of hate runs through our veins for our...

While I was growing up, my father always told me to be careful with how much I follow the Bills. He said that they would always find a way to lose. I was too young to watch the Bills-Giants Super Bowl, but I have seen it, and they sure did find the most heart breaking way to lose. Maybe he meant it’s not that...

Seriously, I hate the idea that anyone, anywhere (like me), can “publish” any thought they may have on any subject regardless of their experience, expertise or insight. What makes matters worse, is I wish I had a quarter for every time a blog has been cited as evidence of truth on a particular subject. Blogging is not “publishing”! Blogging is the written...

Adam in West Seneca (submitted 6/24) - The Sabres need to sign Spacek
8 Goals 37 Assists 45 Points sounds like pretty good numbers for me. Especially since it’s coming from a Defensemen, a 35 year old Defensemen at that. These were the statistics of Buffalo Sabres Defensemen Jaroslav Spacek, last year his 45 points tied a career high set back in 2002-2003 with Columbus. Spacek played in 80 games and was at times Buffalo’s best Defensemen....

Jimbo in Hamburg (submitted 6/24) - Dick Jauron fired, replaced by Cryptkeeper
Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson certainly shook things up at One Bills Drive early this morning, firing Dick Jauron as Bills head coach and naming The Cryptkeeper his successor.
“When it came right down to it,” said Wilson of the coaching change, “appointing The Cryptkeeper to head coach of our football club was the smartest move to make.”

I understand there is some level of decorum and etiquette involved, but why can’t someone in the media call Dick Jauron or Darcy Regier out for their completely insulting answers in interviews?!?!?

I have been thinking about T.O.’s housing situation and how it can be easily be remedied. We all know that T.O. has had trouble finding a place to stay for the season.

It would be a great gesture to a new player that...

It’s funny to think about how much media coverage Brett Favre and Terrell Owens receive, especially when you consider that neither man will have a spectacular season this year.

So what was the fuss about?
