Nick the Greek Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Looks like he’s moving on from Syracuse.com. I was always a fan of his work. He was a breath of fresh air compared to the jaded individuals at Buffalo News. He will be missed! Edited June 19, 2018 by Idandria 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRush Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 They posted for his position a week ago. It’s very clear he left on good terms...likely for a better position. Hopefully he’s still covering the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 He’s one of a couple Bills columnists that I respected and looked forward to reading his articles. Really hoping to continue reading his Bills articles wherever he lands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Vogl: Seeking the best stories in the most unexpected places... The goal of The Athletic is to go beyond the box score. It’s done with the reader in mind. It seemed like the perfect place to land. I’m not alone. Kris Baker, who knows the Sabres’ prospects better than anyone, is onboard to keep you informed about the future players. Analytics are a huge part of hockey, and Ryan Stimson, who co-hosts and speaks at analytic conferences, will give context to the Sabres’ numbers. A Buffalo site wouldn’t be complete without the Bills. Matthew Fairburn has quickly risen to prominence at One Bills Drive, and he’s determined to deliver the best information in the most interesting fashion. And Tim Graham will provide his award-winning, thought-provoking coverage for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, that is Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Gannett) and WHAM sports journalist Bob Matthews. I think he is already well past retirement age. One of the last things giving the D&C any credit at all. As bad as Buff News may be the D&C is a complete failure at this point. Went to crap shortly after Gannett left Rochester for VA Fairburn is really good, I hope he does stay somewhere in the region but gets promoted.

Mr. WEO Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Heard on ESPN/Rochester today that guy from BuffaloRumblings was saying that Pegulas may have squeezed the BN to take Sullivan's column away by threatening to pull their $250,000 a year printing contract with the News...
