The Most Insignificant Franchise in Buffalo History

By Jon on July 31, 2008

By Jon
After the success of our “Most Insignificant Sabre” series, we have decided to continue the series, this time taking a look at The Most Insignificant Franchise in Buffalo History (kudos to Brian S. for the idea.)
For those new to the Roost, here’s how it will work: Nominations will be taken in the comments of this thread [...]

The Five Best Deals of the Season

By Ryan on July 30, 2008

by Ryan
Judging from the great lukewarm response from the last post about the schedule, I wasn’t going to do one about the five best deals of the year.
However, guess what came in the mail yesterday?

That’s right, the mini pack is here, and it’s time to pick some hockey games. To quote Chris, “Yahoo.” So, here are my [...]

Jay McKee has The Seven Year Itch

By Ryan on July 29, 2008

So this is sure to scald your retinas for the afternoon. St. Louis Blue Dan Hinote got married on Friday to Amy McCarthy, and they had an interesting wedding theme: The 1950s. More specifically, they had their guests dress up as celebrities from that era.
No, really.
During the dinner, the groom addressed his friends, family and fans. [...]

The Five Worst Deals of the Season

By Ryan on July 29, 2008

by Ryan
The pricing for the 2008-09 season has been announced, and just like the record industry, the Sabres have gone platinum. Of course this means that we will be paying even more money to get inside HSBC Arena. The addition of a fifth tier means even more crappy games that will cost you even more to see. [...]

Ready to Run

By Ryan on July 28, 2008

By now I’m sure you are aware that the Marshawn Lynch Saga is officially over. Chancellor Goodell won’t be dropping the hammer on Money, and barring a Fred Jacksplosion during the preseason, Lynch will be starting this fall.
To say this is great news is understating it a bit. In fact, let’s give you chills courtesy [...]

Sabres Variable Pricing Announced

By Chris on July 28, 2008

via Sabres.com
Looks like your best bets are weeknight games in October, December and February.
I’m looking at games to select for my own mini-pack and I’ve eyed out seven games so far. Four bronze games and three silver (Boston in October, Tampa and Pittsburgh in December, Ottawa in February and the San Jose, Anaheim and Detroit games).
With the [...]

To Tide You Over

By Ryan on July 28, 2008

by Ryan
- Brian Moorman has a blog. I think that’s about as good as it gets on a Monday morning.
- The Patriots signed LaMont Jordan, which I think is a bigger deal than people are making it out to be. A washed up running back from Oakland isn’t supposed to scare you when they have Kool [...]

Sunday Morning Youtube

By Ryan on July 27, 2008

I promise you by Friday this will all make sense. I was going to post a video of a buffalo getting torn apart by lions, but this ranks pretty high up there, too.

Getting Back to Form

By Ryan on July 26, 2008

Yes, Robert Royal will sign that football; but he’s going to drop it first.
Just like last season.

Drawing Back the Curtain

By Ryan on July 25, 2008

by Ryan
Today has been a long time coming.

Training camp is here.
Last year in late November I wrote the following about the season:
Over the next six weeks we are going to see what this team is made of. This Bills season has been a play in three parts. Act One was the descent, capped off by the [...]
