THANK YOU BUFFALO BILLS! Football is finally back in the B-lo. As an added bonus, they actually won. Praise Jebus.
A spectacular day weather-wise led to the consumption of far too many Miller Timez and cheezballs in the parking lot beforehand. Witness the debauchery here: Bills – Bucs ’09 Image Gallery.

Note this picture was taken well before our collective heart was ripped out by Leodis “Allergic to Intelligent Football” McKelvin. You’re lucky you got this post at all, since I was ready to light my laptop on fire and throw it through the window.
THANK YOU, SEASON TICKETS
It’s finally football season again; here’s hoping the Bills’ preseason performance against the Bears is a building block toward a winning record in the regular season.
The annual Kids Day game was capped off with a fireworks display whilst we pounded our remaining beers.
The Sabres re-signed someone of value? An actual leader? This can’t be true.
If you’re one of the three people in the Western New York who have not yet watched this video, enjoy.
That saves me the time I would have spent writing a sixteen-paragraph diatribe on how wacked out this move is (for better or worse), and how sick I am of hearing local radio talk show hosts and ESPN talk about this move making Buffalo “relevant” again. Who the frick cares about being “relevant?” Win some football games; that’s all the relevance I need. Being on ESPN every hour of the day does not equate to the kind of relevance anyone should want or need. Okay, I better stop now, lest I light myself on fire once again.
Last night’s dramatic shootout victory for the Sabres reminded me, not only of everything I love about sports, but also of its amazing power to lift spirits and heal a wounded community’s conscience, if only for a short while. Most of the area woke up to the terrible news of Flight 3407’s crash in Clarence Center the night before, 50 souls perishing in the tragedy. While we know the family members are linked to the crash, it’s striking how few degrees of separation there were between everyone else in the area and those lost.
Just about everyone I talked to on Friday either knew someone on the plane, or had a friend that was related to someone on the plane, or knew the daughter of someone’s fiancée on the plane, etc., etc. Everyone’s linked, and in a region that’s struggled economically in the past decades, those still living here have suffered innumerable blows to its collective spirit over the years.
