We’ll hire a dog to burn down a hospital
Welcome to another Super Bowl Sunday, America. Despite my presence being required at a Super Bowl party with some friends, I vow nonetheless to bring you my trademark coverage featuring pithy commentary and scathing criticism of everything NBC puts on the air. There may be some good football as well; let’s hope.
Really, there’s not much more negative commentary to offer on the Buffalo Bills this season. Before providing the link to the image gallery, I’ll just offer you the fact that I gave all available effort to berating offensive coordinator Turk Schonert after each dumbass offensive play call. Turk was about ten rows behind me, in the relative comfort of a warm booth shielded from the elements. While I very much would like to keep Billieving, I have to weigh that commitment against the countless hours wasted rooting this team on. I’m fairly certain it’s starting to shave months off of my lifespan. Bills Fever! Catch it!

I AM THRILLED TO BE A FAN OF THE BUFFALO BILLS!
No commentary on today’s brutal loss, other than to say the feelings of Bills fans everywhere are best summed up by the following image:

At least I got some decent photos out of last night’s debacle. Click to browse.
Not much to write home about on this one, folks. FAVRAH and the Jets beat the Bills at home, the second week in a row a division opponent has exposed a suspect Bills defense, while the offense didn’t do much to help. Thankfully, the Pats lost on Sunday Night Football, so we’re all square for the divison lead (tiebreakers aside). Big showdown next week in New England. Check out the gallery below while I go try to recover from eight beers too many.

What a day at the Ralph. Beers, dogs, friends, football and power outages on a day the Bills turned the lights out on the San Diego Chargers. I’ve kept mum on the Bills so far this season (this site’s downtime notwithstanding), having learned the hard way it’s best to keep expectations at a manageable level for our Buffalo sports teams. The Bills and Sabres are making that a bit difficult these days, with both off to blistering starts. No matter, though, my frequently cynical outlook on life (get it? the title of my site is The Wayward CYNIC! omg!) will undoubtedly temper the enthusiasm generated by today’s win once the effects of 18 beers, three hot dogs, one plate of nachos and God knows what else I had wear off.
April 14, 2008. Pittsburgh Penguins at Ottawa Senators.
As much crap as I give the Sabres for the decisions they’ve made, at least they don’t have a guy dressed up in a buffalo suit snorting at center ice, exhorting embarrassed fans to cheer for VICTORYYYYY!
Although, now that I think about it, they do have a guy dressed in a sabretooth tiger costume rappel down from the rafters…
Sharks acquire Campbell from Sabres
Unable to sign their potential unrestricted free agent to a long-term deal, the Buffalo Sabres have traded defenceman Brian Campbell to the San Jose Sharks for forward Steve Bernier and a first-round draft pick.
STEVE FREAKING BERNIER. Here are the right wing’s NHL career stats:
Year Team League GP G A Pts +/- PIM Shots Sh%
2007-08 San Jose NHL 59 13 10 23 -2 62 96 13.54
2006-07 San Jose NHL 62 15 16 31 +5 29 104 14.42
So why not just keep Campbell until July, Darcy? You would’ve got nothing in return for him then, but you’re getting nothing now. So why not keep him for a playoff run?
Someone’s gotta help me out here and tell me the point of being a sports fan in this town. I’m struggling.
Ignore the title and pretend the game hasn’t happened yet, so you can enjoy my Super Bowl Running Diary; a post idea blatantly stolen from ESPN.com writer Bill Simmons (who thought the Pats would blow the Giants out in this game)! All times are Eastern, as this site fully endorses the East Coast Bias™ inherent in all professional sports coverage.
