hmmm...I do think he still holds the record for most games played (talk about giving away the answer...sacre bleu)

You sure this isn't the Biebs?

Yep, for a loooonnng time. He and the Sabres had/have quite a connection

Yes, his connection was with hockey Nope.

Nope, his connection was not with the Bills.

Yes (but retired)

Well, I guess we'll see if anyone is still playing along. An easy one... Male, alive, strong Buffalo connection

May they both RIP

H.P. Lovecraft?

No, but this person does share something in common with Alex (besides being male and, you know, dead).

Sweet! male, dead, not an athlete

Wolf Blitzer?

hmmm...sitting at a piano, a bit of a "hang dog" face...Harry Connick Jr.?

Terry Crews?
