When it comes to sports talk in the morning, there is only once source in Buffalo...The Howard Simon Show!
Howard Simon graduated from Buffalo State in 1984 and has been covering the Buffalo sports scene since 1989, working at WJJL, WBEN and the Empire Sports Network before joining WGR in 2004. Howard's also a huge fan of the New York Mets and for some reason, refuses to give up his team.
Jeremy White graduated from Syracuse University in 2001 and worked during every possible time period on WGR before joining the Howard Simon Show in November of 2004. Shockingly, Jeremy likes to squeeze in talk about his Orange whenever possible during Bills' and Sabres' conversations.
There is no other radio station in Western New York that offers you the chance to sound off on your team and connect with the following guests:

Possibilities are endless in June 30th's NHL Draft. The depth of the first round is one of the reasons to think a team near the top might be willing to trade down. Elias Lindholm, a Swedish center, could be taken soon after the Big Three. He's next up in Jeremy White’s Hockey Prospect Watch.
The Buffalo Sabres haven’t been too guarded about the upcoming NHL Draft. Armed with a pair of 1sts, a pair of 2nds, and a need to make big changes, the franchise is openly talking about moving up. Wednesday morning we learned that they'd like to move all the way up.
