Kevin Everett Picked The Wrong Game To Attend
For as much as he's been through this year, injured Bills tight end Kevin Everett has to be all confused why the Giants aren't exactly collapsing according to plan this late in the season....
Shooting At The Net Yields More Goals? Brilliant!
After a humiliating, unprecedented loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Redstate.org probably thinks the Carolina Hurricanes deserve a do-over. After all, some of the goals Buffalo scored throughout the game were intentional, unfair, and uncalled for. It's the only sensible conclusion after Buffalo's eight —...
The Bills Get The Monday Night Football Buzzsaw Treatment
Perhaps this is now going to become a yearly ritual on "Monday Night Football:" Franchise that rarely plays on Monday night shocks undefeated, heavily favorite road team and seemingly secures the win four or five times, thanks to the poor play of the young opposing quarterback. And then they lose in...
Monday Night Football Makes The Bills Want To Shout
As everybody keeps telling us on the TV set, it has been 13 years since the Bills were on "Monday Night Football," which is amazing, considering even the Buzzsaw has been on three times since then. (And lost all three, of course.) This is the opportunity for all of you with Trent Edwards fever to sc...
Suddenly, There Just Aren't Enough Hockey Tickets To Go Around
With every story about the NHL seemingly existing only to make fun of it, here's a good one: The Sabres-Penguins game, scheduled for New Years Day at Ralph Wilson Stadium, sold 42,000 tickets in 25 minutes.

Anyway, to the AFC! Hard to imagine anyone other than the ole' Patriots...

Fortunately, Nobody Wants To Watch A Playoff Overtime
As MJD pointed out yesterday, NBC, amazingly, cut away from the Senators-Sabres Game 5 overtime yesterday to show ... the first two hours of the Preakness prerace coverage. That's right: Rather than show the most exciting part of an entire hockey season, NBC chose to show Bob Costas interview people...
Pity The Poor Buffalo Fan
Heading into the NHL playoffs, the subplot we were most excited about involved the Buffalo Sabres, a team with a long-suffering but rabid — we mean literally rabid; it's in the Buffalo drinking water — fanbase and a No. 1 seed. After they beat the Rangers, it all appeared to be coming together. At l...
