Something in the Air

By Ryan on August 31, 2008

The above isn’t a Phil Collins quote, nor is it it from ABBA. Actually, it may be a little of both. Whatever.
Today the Bills made their last cuts, and I’ve been thinking about the home opener all day. For the first time in months the there is a sense that football is close, so close I [...]

A Word on #85

By Ryan on August 30, 2008

A few weeks ago a rumor floated around that Chad Johnson was changing his name to Ocho Cinco. If you heard it, well, you probably weren’t all that surprised. You see, Chad Johnson sort of has that reputation, and well, it was just a rumor.
Well, yesterday it was reported on a few blogs that he actually [...]

Boom goes the Dynamite, Part Deux

The NFL preseason is far too long. The college preseason doesn’t exist. Let’s ask former Bills kicker and current UB color analyst Steve Christie what he thinks…

“Ugh.. I remember the NFL. The preseason was too long.”

 
Thanks for that hard-hitting analysis, Steve! Now, what did you think of that personal foul that just wiped out a huge [...]

The Realest Team Alive

By Ryan on August 29, 2008

by Ryan
Today is the big day.
The Buffalo Sports Blogger’s league is having their fantasy draft today, and of course the Goose’s Roost has a team. This will be an interesting experiment, as we’re not sure anyone has ever done a team with four people on it.
A few weeks back the Dukes of Awesome did a [...]

Yellow Paint and Wire Mesh

I would say something kind about Yankee Stadium, but I’ve never been there in my life. There was just something that held me back, probably the fact that wearing a Sox hat in that place would get my face caved in.
Either way, as you read the Red Sox are playing their last game ever in [...]

Obits, the Lions, and Fine: This is Preseason

If you don’t read sort of girly gossip/news sites run by Nick Denton, you may not know that Bloomberg has been updating the obituary of Steve Jobs, that guy from Apple who sold 152.8 million iPods while you weren’t looking. If you don’t know, Jobs has pancreatic cancer and there are some concerns his health [...]

If You are Really Bored…

By Ryan on August 27, 2008

There are hundreds of things I should be doing right now, but for some reason I just finished making an avatar for one of my fantasy football teams. It’s not the best of photoshops, but then again, it doesn’t have to be.
I don’t know if anyone cares, but if you’d like to guess the team [...]

An Interesting Idea

By Ryan on August 27, 2008

by Ryan
So yesterday the Habs released a logo for their centennial. That’s right, hockey fans, 100 years of hockey and jingoistic tensions, everybody celebrate!

Anyways, I was poking around their website and found this, which seems like a pretty good idea if you ask me. The team is unveiling a “Centennial Plaza” in a few months, and for [...]

Shutting the Door

Michael Kay sounded so sad tonight, and that makes me so, so happy.
That is all.

Burgers and Sound Mufflers

Every once in a while I visit The Aud Club and look things over. It’s a trip not to reminisce as much as it is to try and absorb a little bit more of that history we all love so much.
You see, I don’t remember much of the Aud, and for someone who is fascinated by [...]

Searching the Desert

By Ryan on August 26, 2008

by Ryan

Oh, hello there.
I was just looking at some pictures from the game on Sunday, and I can’t decide how I feel about it. I mean, that was a pretty nice sack there, and on the first play from scrimmage no less. However, that’s The Pillsbury Throwboy in there, a third string quarterback who had no [...]
