Do all NFL teams have the opposing team on the sunny side? I would have thought that in Buffalo, they would have had the Bills on the sunny side................I'm so glad I sit on that side!

First, we need to finish last

Looking forward to Lake Effect Stadium downtown.

Haha - I never heard that about Tasker. The one story I do remember him telling was that he bumped the ref, the ref said You're out of the game, he said "But, this is my last game!" and the ref said "Congratulations on a great career. Now get out of here"

Yes, I was hoping you would post something like this!

This is my memory of it. I know that family so that was the one time, other than this year, that I was paying attention to the draft.

This is going to be the longest week ever

The reason there were no picket lines at that game was that the strike was settled (on like Friday or something) and for whatever stupid reason, they played the game anyway. So, the players weren't picketing, and Jim Kelly, who had been rooting against the Bills scabs now said it's time to root for them, because the game would be on their record, and would give them a better chance at the playoffs. The Bills official record that year is 7-8, but to me, they were 6-6 (with the regular players). Ready to turn it around. They were good before the '82 strike, sucked until the '87 strike, stuck together as a team due to the lessons of the '82 strike (had their own practices, etc.) and took off after the strike. Weird how one strike sunk them, and the next one propelled them. Didn't this involve one of the worst play calls in team history - something like a reverse to Andre in OT that lost 20 yards, after they were moving the ball well? And, Ralph fires Collier right after the game.

I remember that. Everybody, including OJ, thought he had blown out all his ligaments. He's in the hospital and all that, and then all of a sudden they don't do the surgery they thought they had to.

Thanks. It was great growing up with my Dad - he coached 3 sports in high school, and we went to so many games - high school, college and pro. (Saw Lanier, Murphy and Randy Smith play for Bona, Niagara, and Buff State during the end of the Little Three hey day) I was talking with my friends a few years ago about what athletes we've seen live - in addition to seeing Lebron, Jordan, Bird, Dr. J and everybody they saw in the NFL and NHL, I said "I saw Johnny Unitas, Willie Mays and Wilt Chamberlain." They just said Whoa!.............Even though we're the same age, my Dad got me started young!

Saturday night I was saying How great are sports?!? WI beats KY and Calipari and the Sabres get four points to the magic number. Tonight, sports sucks!

Buffalo press probably picked up on it late (that was the President's Trophy year and Sabres were all everybody was talking about), but Kane didn't sound like he was the top prospect until at least the World Juniors - and even then it wasn't in the press until closer to the draft, where it said that he was a star there. I knew he was a top prospect, but I had never heard that he was going to possibly be the top pick until closer to the draft. Definitely not like McDavid or Eichel, where you were hearing it a year or two ahead of time.

I was 6. The Bills first win over an NFL team. I think my 2nd game was the next preseason - Johnny Unitas and the Colts there for OJ's first game in a Bills uniform........I think the first regular season game was in '69 vs. Jets

This thing is soooo not over. I have no idea how that site can have it at 98% the other day. The Sabres have had three game winning streaks this season. The Penguins may have nothing to play for Saturday..............I don't see the Coyotes getting another point.

Are you using those 7 guys more for how they have produced? The only one I really know much about is Kane, and it seemed to be questionable whether he would be the top pick going right into the draft, although by that time, he did lead the list. Unlike say McDavid and Crosby - where you knew a year or two ahead they were #1.

Nice!

BB asked yesterday if I thought all this crap was them being this dumb or whether it's to get clicks. I said I think it's to get clicks. Doesn't this kind of prove it. To me THEY are tanking - they claim to be such high and mighty journalists, but they are just stirring the pot for click bait.

I didn't know BU was terrible last year. That's super impressive.

Don't jinx this - two more points!

I think more views.

And, the Buffalo News shows that they can't nail it. More anti-tanking articles today. But, you'd think they'd be stand up enough to let letters to the sports editor go against them. No all four regarding it are myopic anti-tankers: http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/letters/letters-for-april-5-20150404

Especially when for all those years it was 16 teams making it out of 21. What a joke that was!

That's the same guy who did this on Friday: https://twitter.com/YotesHereToStay/status/584179161075286016/video/1

Nice, and I think Moulson is out, too
