The “Greatest” Comeback? (a repost)
(Every year now, social media around the 716 lights up on the anniversary of the Bills-Oilers wildcard playoff game in January 1993, almost always simply called “The Comeback Game”. I wrote these thoughts a couple years ago when that record … Continue reading
What is “value”?
I rarely write about sport on this site anymore, but I’m going to broach the topic here just for a few minutes because there’s an interesting debate raging across social media right now regarding the NFL MVP award, and which … Continue reading

He retired. Again. Will this retirement stick? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe He’s retiring so he can just wait until the first week of August, after training camps are half over, and then sign wherever He feels like signing to keep … Continue reading

Predicting the NFL Season (Badly)
I tweeted a bunch of NFL predictions this morning, and here they are! Most of them will be wrong. Some will be spectacularly wrong. I apologize for nothing. 1. Bills will go 10-6. Maybe, maybe not for playoffs. Depends on … Continue reading
Buffasaurus Rex
So, Rex Ryan is apparently the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills. Not my first choice, really; but then, I didn’t really have a first choice. I don’t hate the hire, but I’ve never been a big fan of Ryan’s. … Continue reading
Costa Del Terry! Pegulaville! Marina del Kim! Otisburg….Otisburg?!
Lots of football news of late. Not all of it is depressing, but quite a lot of it is. :: The most positive story is that, pending NFL approval, Terry and Kim Pegula are set to become the new owners … Continue reading
