evilbuffalobob Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've brought this up before and it seemed to be a mystery. What ever happened to Dave Staaba? Week- in, Week-out, he'd have something in the name of he Niagara Falls Reporter to say on TBD. Dave always new where to point the finger and where to try new wings. His verbage seethingly poignant and truthfully consolating- generally in defeat... and always straight-up and sobering in victory. Someone made an attempt to take his place, but was most probably slaughtered by his own boring rhetoric. If someone still has contact with Dave- urge his return. Things may just be getting interesting in WNY. Sabes look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I agree. I liked reading his column. Always wondered what happened to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Dave is an excellent writer and a great guy. His Dad passed away a few years ago and he quit the newspaper job in Niagara Falls to return home (I think Darien or Corfu or nearby that area) to care for family and help run the family business (farm equipment?). He's a true family man and a much better writer than most people who write for high profile newspapers. For about one year he wrote Bills reports for Buffalo Artvoice but I haven't seen him post a story/blog in about a year. I'll email him to see if his work is available anywhere.

SDS Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Dave is indeed back home. He no longer does the newspaper thing. He runs the family scrap business: http://www.stabaandsons.com/ Dave and I used to work together at Darien Lake... He's s good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrahammer Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I got the pleasure of hearing some great Staba stories.. he told stories better than he wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Thanks for the update. I wonder if he would consider doing a column thing for TBD like Scott Pitoniak, just to keep the skills up in case he gets the itch to get back into the sportswriting biz. I enjoyed his style of writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
