Writer’s Block?

By Jon on November 30, 2007

By Jon
I’ve been a stranger around these parts lately. It’s a three-way tie as to why:
1) Lots of traveling around Thanksgiving left little time to coherently think about something to post about.
2)I didn’t really know what I thought of the local teams.
3) Pure laziness.
I’d be lying if I said that #3 wasn’t the biggest factor, but after watching the [...]

Give Goose the C. It’s what Chris Drury would have wanted.
Do it.

Days Off

By Ryan on November 29, 2007

by Ryan
It was a cold, blustery day in the city, the kind of day that makes you want to sleep until the sun comes out again. A storm of hellfire followed me into the city, hail and rain turning the journey into a mess of brake lights and windshield wipers.
But storm clouds thinned, and hellfire soon turned [...]

Insomniac ESPN Moments

By Ryan on November 29, 2007

by Ryan
I know the moment Sean Taylor died I thought to myself, “What’s his cap hit?”
Good freaking God, what is wrong with Len Pasquarelli? I mean, how do you do the research for that column and not get that icky feeling in your stomach? I feel sick just reading it.
Also, from Bill Simmons’ marathon chat:
Tony (Toronto): Hey, Bill – just [...]

A View From the Roost: Blues 11/28

By Ryan on November 28, 2007

by Ryan
A stinging, 4-3 final from HSBC Arena tonight.
Lots to talk about…
- Sekera=balls. It’s been said before, but Sekera just isn’t cutting it on defense. I know he was a star and got his first goal and that’s just fine and dandy, but he looks flat out over matched when he’s out there. Being paired with [...]

Chronic Rewind

By Chris on November 28, 2007

By Chris
So how was that Sabres game tonight? You know, the one against St. Louis? Hold on a second, what do you mean they lost? What, did you actually watch the whole game? Cause as far as I know they won, 2-1.
You see, I’m really living in 1996. See, I was out for most of the night [...]

The Blues and the C

By Ryan on November 28, 2007

by Ryan
Back in the Roost tonight.
Love the view.
Should be Jay McKee’s first game back in Buffalo, unless he stubs his toe in a doorjam somewhere. Or trips over a stray moose. Or steps on a crack in the pavement. (Just kidding, love ya Jay!)
On a more serious note, the Sabres look to keep the winning streak alive and finish [...]

Rambling the Anger Out

By Ryan on November 28, 2007

by Ryan
I got a text this morning about Sean Taylor. I turned on the TV to see what happened. It was a natural response, people watch the news to find out what happened.
What I saw, unfortunately, was Fox News Channel. They told me that Sean Taylor was dead, passing away at 5am this morning. Not ten [...]

Monday is NOT Hump Day

By Ryan on November 26, 2007

by Ryan
Versus may want to break out the Popsicles on Ovie, but all that matters is the final score.
3-1.
Five in a row.
Much more to come later.

Back in Washington Not the State

By Ryan on November 26, 2007

by Ryan
Tonight the Sabres travel to Washington to play the Caps at the MCI Center Verizon Center. It will be the first time Buffalo has played in the Phone Booth since clinching the President’s Trophy last April. You all remember that game, don’t you? Timmy came back, Briere speared a guy, good times all around.
The Sabres are [...]

Well That Was Fast

By Ryan on November 26, 2007

by Ryan
Dick wasted little time today, naming JP Losman our second string quarterback this weekend. Uh, I mean Trent Edwards is our starter. (Sometimes I forget which part matters…)

“F – k it, I’m checkin’ down”
It seems very strange that this move was made so quickly, usually Dick follows his “Wait till Wednesday” approach, then sneaks out a decision on Tuesday. [...]
