If Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas didn’t pull the biggest piece of shit move in the NHL this season tonight I’d hate to see what topped it. Forget getting thrown out of the game chopping Winnipeg’s Mathieu Perrault in the first period…. He did. Forget just getting suspended either. This asshole should flat-out get arrested … Read More

YEAR RELEASED: 1983 NOTABLE TRACKS: “Separate Ways”, “Faithfully”, “After The Fall”, “Send Her My Love” ALBUM MVP: “Faithfully” WHY I LOVED IT: Frontiers almost identically shadows the same blueprint as their previous albums two years prior, Escape, packed with ballads built for radio along with a couple of rock out with your cock out jams, … Read More
Thoughts On Tyrod Taylor Getting Benched
If nothing else it’s never a dull moment with the Buffalo Bills. After consecutive pitiful showings on defense I tweeted Monday night a prediction the Bills would cut a defensive tackle and sign a new one before they next play on Sunday at the Los Angeles Chargers. Less than 24 hours later that’s exactly what happened, … Read More

(Game Thoughts) Saints 47, Bills 10: Major Reality Check
I was guardedly optimistic about the Buffalo Bills, even after getting their asses handed to them in prime time last Thursday against the New York Jets. Reluctantly I attributed much of that to being tired and on the road with a short week of rest. Well, the lopsided Jets loss was Bills/Giants Super Bowl XXV … Read More
(Episode 16) Panthers 4, Sabres 1: The One Where We Start Questioning Jack
I’m running out of adjectives to describe how frustrating it often is when you decide to devote roughly three hours of your life to turning on the television and watching a Buffalo Sabres game, or even worse spending your hard earned money on a ticket. Instead, I’ll give the recap honor to Dave Davis of … Read More
