[via Awful Announcing]
The above video is the prerequisite to what you will see here. Unless you were like me and ignored hockey for 90 minutes to watch HBO, please take the few minutes to watch an old man complain about change.
Good? Okay.
Now, I’ve always liked Buzz Bissinger’s work. He is a respected author and Pulitzer Prize winner. Bissinger [...]

Rich is going to wrangle a computer and talk about the draft this week, but in the mean time I thought I’d address something that popped up in the Canadian press this afternoon. To put it plainly, the Bills done got paid:
The $78-million payment eclipses what Forbes calculated the Bills made in 2006, in the [...]

I’m Almost Positive…

By Ryan on April 29, 2008

…this was taken just after the referee behind the net told Jagr to “go f – k yourself.” I bet if the guy would shave properly he would be given a proper forum. Freaking hippie.

They Must Have Team Speedos

Not pictured: The sniper that took Umberger down just after Hatcher was called for boarding. Good Lord he went down like an sack of unloved puppies being tossed into the gorge. Then again, I’ve never been so gently clipped while playing hockey, so writhing on the ground like an electrocuted mongoose may be the proper [...]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, watched over by the teacher from Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

Severance Hall, where The Cleveland Orchestra preformed an excellent version of Bela Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra.

The Jake, which I will call nothing else unless I’m allowed to call it “The Prog”, even if that makes it sound like Yes should be [...]

Way Back When

Hey, you remember when we picked up that quarterback on the second day of the draft that was supposed to be a big deal but kind of wasn’t? People get excited about things like that, right? Well… as a Bills fan I’d say that deal was pretty nice to the team who got rid of [...]

It usually helps when you try it on years where the majority of the fan base doesn’t buy $200 jerseys. Putting a $2 shirt over that is a tough sell, eh? Although at this point, I think I’d buy anything Sidney Crosby is selling…

Jesus, even the dude with the tie [...]
