Lululemon's Buffalo Store Taunts Fans With "Wide Right/No Goal"
Being a Buffalo sports fan can be pretty depressing. The Bills are, at best, mediocre and remain the only franchise to lose four Super Bowls in a row while winning zero. The Sabres offer little relief, having also won zero championships and promising to be one of the worst teams in the NHL this seas...
Justin Johnson Fights The Much Larger John Scott, And Wins
I went to a couple of Manchester Monarchs games while Justin Johnson was on the AHL squad. He was proficient at pummeling dudes, racking up 11 points and 392 penalty minutes in 103 games with Manchester.

Officials Completely Miss Game-Winning Goal
The Sabres are very, very bad. The Sharks are very, very good. So for Buffalo to even take San Jose to overtime and gain a point was a moral victory. The Sabres got a real victory too, but only because everyone in the arena somehow missed the Sharks pretty clearly putting the puck over the line in o...
A Decapitated Ref, And What It Doesn't Say About Brazilian Soccer
Just this week, the severed head of a former Brazilian professional soccer player was delivered to his wife's doorstep.

Steve Ott Tried To Win A Faceoff By Licking His Opponent
At the start of the third period, Buffalo's Steve Ott faced off opposite Jeff Halpern. Steve Ott licked Jeff Halpern, or at last came very close. Maybe there's a reason Ott is eighth in the league in faceoff win percentage....
