  1. The organization couldn’t do an extensive search. They were already in the links before most teams finished the season and any other serious candidate is too wrapped up in their teams’ playoffs. The Sabres will be more aggressive and be accountable under Ruff’s leadership. Can we really ask for more?
  2. He’s a very good coach! Granato’s forte is building young teams. Ruff’s forte is making teams tough!
  3. Rest in peace, Roman. Thank you for the memories!
  4. 39-37-6. So, a winning season (barely) but another year on the golf course on tax day. 🤦‍♂️
  5. Washyermouthout with soap, young man! 🤬
  6. Wonderful game announcer! He’ll be missed.
  7. Trade up? Hell no. The overall consensus is this entire Draft is weak -sans a couple positions. Use picks to trade for quality League starters.
  8. Amazing that our 1st ever HOFer has been dead almost a week and still no word from the team. My! How the mighty have fallen!
  9. Few here even remember Simpson’s college career. I followed it intensely. Most -if not all USC games in his senior year were televised because of his on field exploits. As a forlorned Bills fan then, 1968 was a terrible year. We lost 5 QBs to serious injury, eventually turning to seldom used WR Ed Rutkowski to finish the season. Throughout that bitter campaign, all Bills fans kept an eye on O.J. as we may well earn 1st overall pick in ‘69. I vividly recall the fear and tenseness the final weeks of that season as Philly was equally inept on the field and it very close. Then Philly won a game very late and we ‘earned’ the 1st pick. WNY was beside itself with anticipation and when he 1st reported he was swarmed over at the airport. One of my favorite players at the time was Gary McDermott (no relation) who wore #32. So O.J. was issued #36 and there are many pics available of him wearing that number. But McDermott was cut at final cutdown and the number given to Simpson. Gil Perrault and Bob McAdoo were huge 1st rounders but they paled in comparison to the arrival of O.J.
