Koka Kola, Advertising, and Cocaine

By Ryan on September 30, 2008

by Ryan
Big news out of Sabres camp today, as the team has signed a five year deal with Jason Pominville Coca Cola, effectively crushing any hopes of having Ales Kotalik Loganberry on tap for the next half decade.

From now on every transaction at HSBC Arena will look a little something like this…

Nah, it’s going to taste like ass [...]

Lower Body Fantasy Thoughts

By Ryan on September 30, 2008

by Ryan
If you don’t know about James Mirtle, we can’t be friends. Thems the rules around these parts. What makes sites like Mirtle’s and Kuklas Korner so useful is that they catch pretty much everything you will need to know about hockey. This is especially helpful when you miss a few days, like I did this weekend. [...]

He Probably Hurt it Here

By Ryan on September 30, 2008

by Ryan

Goose out 3-4 weeks, as first reported by everyone else. We know he hurt it in a fight on Sunday, but wouldn’t you feel better if he hurt it giving Lindy some heat over this whole captaincy business? No? Okay, never mind…

One Day Early

By Ryan on September 30, 2008

by Ryan
There is something about October that always gets to me. Maybe because my birthday is in October, or maybe because hockey is so close and because it is football season. Maybe, but more and more I think it is because of playoff baseball.

It’s no secret around these parts what team I root for. I’m the guy [...]

At the Quarter Pole

By Ryan on September 29, 2008

by Ryan
There are currently two 4-0 teams in the NFL. The Bills are one of them.
……
Wow, that was pretty awesome to type that and mean it. What was I saying? I forget, I keep staring at that number up there and getting distracted. I mean, if you told me the Bills would be undefeated at the [...]

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

By Ryan on September 28, 2008

by Ryan
Wooo! 4-0, baby! Playoff time!

Just kidding. We will mull this one over an get back to you in the morning. Maybe have some thoughts on the Sabres as well. For now, consider this: if you had an 84.9 % chance of winning, say, a flat screen TV, you would be thinking about that TV, right?
Just wondering.

Gameday Prep: Bills @ Rams

By Ryan on September 28, 2008

Oooooh yeah.
Announcers: Ian Eagle and Solomon Wilcots. Great. (Courtesy of Awful Announcing)
Game Distribution Maps: Courtesy of the506.
Depth Charts: Rams, sorry, here. Bills
Stats: NFL.com, ESPN, or Yahoo Sports all do a good job. If you have fantasy teams through Yahoo, you’re better off paying the ten bucks for “stattracker”, it’s a lifesaver. (Especially when you have three fantasy leagues [...]

One More

By Ryan on September 27, 2008

This one has made the rounds, but we are a little short staffed today, as Jon and I are heading to Rochester to see the Cardinals. Sorry for the thin posts this week, but we will have a few things ready for you tomorrow. As Kevin said, this is a big sports weekend in Buffalo.
Most [...]

I know we’ve been embedding a ton of videos over the last few weeks (blah blah blah we’re all busy, no time to blog, wah wah wah,) but I found this one pretty hilarious and it’s extremely well-done. And it even relates to hockey!

Any Ideas?

By Ryan on September 26, 2008

I stumbled across this tonight while searching for some pictures. Here is site I found it on, which seems to collect odd things from the Atomic Age. This certainly seems to fit the bill, so if anyone has any ideas as to what it is I’m all ears.
I would check the Buffalo News but they [...]

Wednesday

By Ryan on September 24, 2008

by Ryan
I hate today.
Wednesday, the in medias res day of the week. Some may call it hump day and use it to start looks forward to the weekend, but I view see it completely different. Wednesday is the day where you are the absolute furthest from the weekend, and that means you are the furthest away [...]
