Who cares, they all look alike anyway.
Syracuse had an Ironman triathlon thing the other day, and participants who completed the course were awarded this medal: Yup, they got that beautiful medal for completing a triathlon. In Syracuse. Because completing a triathlon is an accomplishment. In Syracuse. … Continue reading
Lord of Cups
More info here! Here’s hoping this thing, the King of Trophies, eventually finds a home here in Buffalo.
Tank You Very Much
Is it ever OK for sports teams to lose on purpose? I’m sure we’d all say, “Probably not”. After all, there’s a very real reason that gambling is strictly forbidden in baseball, and there’s a very real reason one of … Continue reading
“I wonder why that guy won’t talk to the media!”, or, Great Moments in Buffalo Sports Journalism
Here’s a thing that happened. Last weekend, the Buffalo Bills’ 2014 season ended with the team out of the playoffs. Locker cleanout day was last Monday, and then the team dispersed for the offseason. Fast forward to this past Saturday, … Continue reading

Peanuts and Cracker Jack

Evgeni
I’ve “hated” Evgeni Plushenko for years…not really, but in that sense of “hate” in which, if you were a Bills fan during the 1980s and 1990s, you “hated” Dan Marino, or in the way I “hate” Tom Brady now. You … Continue reading
No doing WHAT in your toilets, now?
Journalists aren’t thrilled with their quarters in Sochi for the Olympics. Lots of photo of questionable stuff, but this one stopped me cold: Can someone tell me just what the last panel there is demonstrating, by way of Things They … Continue reading
Don’t taunt the football gods.
The Houston Texans are supposed to be one of the best teams in the NFL this year, but they’ve had some hiccups, including some very erratic play by Matt Schaub, their starting quarterback. Going into yesterday’s game, Schaub had thrown … Continue reading
