Yesterday I was rooting for Team USA and they had a big come-from-behind victory (wearing Bills jerseys, btw) over Canada at New Era. Then, the Sabres had an improbable overtime victory on the road versus the Devils. Those wins make me feel better about the game in Miami tomorrow. I've found that on weekends when teams I root for win, like the Sabres, Orange and Bonnies, the Bills often follow suit. Conversely, when those teams lose the Bills seem to go down in flames, too. Just curious if any of you have that same feeling when the teams you root for in other sports win just before a Bills game? I know it's a reach, but I'll take any juju we can get this weekend. Squish the fish, end the drought.

As someone that has a bit of experience in starting a Gofundme for a Bills player, I can only shake my head at the ridiculousness of this offering - the guy should be cut by the Bills Mafia as a fan of the team.

Still waiting on mine, but I put a down payment on an inground swimming pool so I hope I get it soon.

Lehner claims predetermined bias against Buffalo, cites the review of the Benjamin catch versus NE and says it's "a Buffalo thing." http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/21895972/robin-lehner-says-officials-robbed-sabres-loss-everything-predetermined-us

Had the great pleasure to interview Irv in 2004. Great guy with an enduring legacy. RIP, Irv.

The kid is amazing. The Sabres' fortunes will turn around once he gets on the roster with Jack - hopefully next season.

Dinner with family, Christmas music on the radio all day, presents wrapped with anticipation of the joy they will bring tomorrow, a perfect snow falling from the sky. This day is always my favorite on the calendar, how about you? Merry Christmas Bills fans, may Santa be good to you tomorrow and may 2018 bring you much happiness and good health.

Reinhart had one two years ago.

Lots of great answers given already, but if you ever find yourself heartbroken on Christmas this song by Joni Mitchell is a true masterpiece. I dare you to watch this one and not laugh out loud and feel a little bit better about humanity when it's over.

With apologies to my Italian friends, this is the worst Christmas song ever recorded.

Sending love and good thoughts your way, Cindy. May all of the memories you two have shared warm your heart in the moments when you need it the most.

It was in Louisiana.

Dean, Gallo is a new coal fire pizzeria in Lewiston. Food is terrific, give it a try when you come back home. http://gallocoalfire.com/

He estimates that there were over a million hornets inside.

That settles it, the Rose Bowl must go.

Went with the Fiancée to see Murder on the Orient Express this weekend and thought it was great. Superb acting all around.

This really needs to be in the UFO thread.

That was a nice win last night. Here's a fun fact: Sabres are undefeated when Pouliot registers a point.

This made me chuckle...

This will be the only dilly dilly I will acknowledge.

My former Editor at the Niagara Falls Reporter, Mike Hudson, passed away in Los Angeles last night after a short battle with colon cancer. Mike was the leader of the legendary Cleveland-area punk rock band The Pagans. He was a complicated individual and his passing will find him roundly blessed and cursed by those that knew him. Two of his most influential stories were the one that took on and brought down corrupt Local 91 and the one that exposed the big bonuses that Kaleida Health executives were taking when they announced they would have to close Children's Hospital. Due to Mike's reporting they reversed course and Children's was saved. He changed the landscape in Niagara Falls forever and believed in my writing when I was a complete unknown. Below is his last music video. RIP, Mike. There will never be another like you.

Those guys from "Bills Fan Thunder" campaigned very hard on FB and elsewhere to get named best grassroots civic group by Artvoice the year after this happened. They won. Seems pretty damn disingenuous now.

What a great musician, what a great Canadian icon. RIP Gord

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving as well.
