From the left or the right, WOW is WOW.

I'm not quite sure (yet) about rings and yellow jackets, but I damn well know we're having fun.

I am innately un-cool, so I am going to see if "doosh" does the same for me!

I have never purchased a Bills shirt with a player's name on it, but if/when I do, it will be #27. Tre"Davious is terrific.

As a "football" game, it sucked. As pinball, it was intriguing.

Actually, the game sucked. It had drama because it was close, but watching Madden for 3 3/4 hours gets tiresome indeed.

19-0. Lombardi, baby. I love a parade.

For reasons unfathomable, football doesn't usually lend itself to poetry. Baseball does, and boxing did. But here, straight from the heart of our very own Dion Dawkins, is a rare sighting of some first-rate football poetry. Enjoy: "We have to play as one fist, one unit, one step, one sound," Dion Dawkins said.

I hope he never lives it down. It provides the narrative pre-requisite and a marvelous first act to "The Nathan Peterman Story," the magical (but true) tale of courage and redemption, as the once-maligned QB rises from the ashes to become the G.O.A.T. Coming soon to a screen near you.

I've read the New York Times. Its credibility is clearly 17 rungs below the National Enquirer. Fact check: Make that 18 rungs.

Total number of of official games played per season: 17 in '17

Genius!

"Yes, Wyoming, there IS a Santa Claus." Well done, sir.

Off to the side of our property, we have a slab of concrete (formerly a barn floor) with a basketball hoop. My kids call it "The Aud." I can't remember using the term, but I must have. By the way, the Aud had that indefinable something. It was an electric place for sports.

I call it War Memorial.

Thanks! I sure hope we are able to see more of this guy's work as the season unfolds. He's engaging and instructive.

Listen to Tasker for a while, and you will catch a glimpse of the heart of football. If what you want is an accountant, turn to Pro Football Focus.

Yes, other teams play other teams and the results of those games bear upon the playoff prospects of other teams. Thus it was for the previous 16 years of the Drought as well. So my question remains, What is 'fake' about ending a 17-year Drought in his first year as head coach?

You're more into the Dick Stoneface Jauron school of coaching.

It looks to me like a coach, coaching.

Just ordered a Bills Mafia flag yesterday. Long may it wave.

Brad Riter is the public address announcer at University of Buffalo basketball games. He is also the "color" man on UB football broadcasts. He does a good job at both, IMHO.

It was in 2007, I think. The Bills v. the Patriots*. Brady would dink/dunk his way down the field, as always. When he got near the red zone he would just lob it to the end zone for Randy Moss, who posted up in the corner and easily boxed out the cornerbacks for the ball. They must have scored 40 points by halftime. It was effortless, and there wasn't a thing Buffalo could do to stop it. It looked for all the world like two guys just playing catch.
