Super Bowl Trivia!
Here we go again! No, I’m not watching. I haven’t actually watched a Super Bowl since Seahawks-Broncos, and that was eleven years ago. (And I doubt I’d have watched had the Bills made it, in all honesty. That would be … Continue reading
Messrs. Brightside
I don’t blog about football much at all anymore, obviously. I used to be the kind of obsessive football fan who watched every down of every game the Buffalo Bills played, and then I’d write an extensive blog post about … Continue reading
“Peanuts and Cracker Jack” (a repost)
There’s been some debate lately after last week’s NFL games, regarding whether or not it’s right, or good, for teams that have secured their playoff positions and who are thus facing a game that is essentially meaningless to not play … Continue reading

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

Wake
The Pittsburgh Pirates entered the 1992 season as two-time defending National League East champions. Back then, both the AL and NL had just two divisions, East and West, and the playoffs consisted of a single Championship Series pitting the division … Continue reading
112 wins, here we come!
One-hundred twelve wins! That’s roughly how many games the Pittsburgh Pirates will win this year if they manage to maintain their current winning percentage of .690 for the balance of the season. Of course, they almost certainly won’t, but it’s … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
ALL RIGHT! LET ME HEAR YA! A-ONE! A-TWO! A-THREE! TAKE ME OUT…. Yup, today’s Opening Day for another baseball season! Hope springs eternal…with differing degrees of “hope”, obviously. For fans of, say, the Astros, Dodgers, Mets, and Braves, “hope” is … Continue reading
