So far, you're the clubhouse leader - well done!

Couldn't find a link, but I remember that Spielman once locked himself naked in his hotel room all night with the air conditioning blasting on high to get himself ready to go play a playoff game in the snow. Now that's dedication to one's craft...

Considering the double error on #15 (It should be Super Bowl XXVIII and Bill Brooks) I think it only fair that everyone get that question right - so add +1 to your score.

Good eye - it should be Super Bowl XXVIII. Thanks for catching the typo - will be amended soon.

Seeing as how I didn't have a column for the Bye week, I decided to put together some Bills trivia to get you ready for a return to action this Sunday. Most of the questions center on the Super Bowl teams from the '90s. How well do you know the Bills? Time to find out. Perfect score is 21 - Post your score below - no cheating. http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/

Thanks, Kool

"A thousand cuts from a razor blade? 100 lashes from a weathered bull whip? Having your fingernails pulled off one by one with a set of pliers? Something has to hurt worse than being a Bills’ fan, but I’ll be damned if I can tell you just what right about now." Read more... http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/

Thanks CardinalScotts...radio guys aren't usually the best writers, though I like Howard - I just wish he'd drop those stupid "Wizard of Comfort" ad spots.

"It’s sort of fitting that the opponent for the Bills this week is the Tennessee Titans. You may recall that the last time our heroes made an appearance in the post season – way back in 1999 when we didn’t worry about the Mayan calendar, but about Y2K ending the world – it was a forward lateral successfully disguised as a legal play that sent them home losers." http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/

:thumbsup:

Here are my pics for game balls - did I forget anyone? "Old Al Davis had it right, didn’t he? You know, the whole “Just win, baby” mantra? In the end, a “W” is all that will be remembered – not the maddening fashion in which a coach seemed to conspire to snatch defeat away from the jaws of victory only to have it returned to his team in a series of events that would truly put a keen edge on Ockham’s razor." http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/

The Cardinals have an awful Offensive line - even the Bills' woeful defense should be able to keep their backs in check. (I hope)

Thanks

Whoever posts it to the web gets listed as the poster - the columns are all written by me. Staba and I wrote together for years at the Reporter - the pizza and wing report is a bit of an homage to him.

I'm picking The Bills to save their season this week - here's why... http://niagarahub.fa...y/nfl-football/

Bills-49ers recap with game balls. http://niagarahub.com/2012/10/08/bills-thrills-bills-have-49-problems-and-a-fitz-is-1/#comments

Picking anyone deserving of game balls was hard work, but I do think Chan needs to realize he's in a crucial third year and won't get a fourth giving up 550 yards + per game. http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/

Pizza report is always with the Monday column. I like Goodfella's too, but am always a fan of Sammy's. Go to Michael's and try the Greek Chicken wings - made with feta cheese - really diffferent and really tasty.

At this point you have to wonder if Morrison will ever see the field again as a Bill.

Sheppard, Chandler key for Bills to have a shot at winning. http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/

Anytime you turn the ball over more than your opponent you are normally going to lose the game. I thought it was pretty lame when Chan rolled out the same argument in his presser after the game. Turnovers are a huge part of the NFL pecking order - bad teams make them and good teams force them. If the Bills want to win games they need to play better on all levels - period!

Oh, and my editor is a huge *Pats fan so you can imagine how much s*it I've had to take over the past 48 hours.

Here is the recap and game balls (yes, there were a couple) for the Bills-*Pats game. I picked the Bills to win by 10, so please pass the salt so I can eat my hat. http://niagarahub.com/2012/10/01/bills-thrills-patsbills-recap-pizza-and-wings-from-papa-leos-were-quite-delightful/

"Did not know Trusello's had been reborn... the old place was around the corner from home... I loved that bread almost as much as I loved the pizza. And of course it was fun to go into that OSHA nightmare that was the one-room bakery and store." Not to hijack my own thread into a pizza and bread discussion, but a place called E. Antonio's in Wilson has recreated the bread flawlessly (and the pizza too, for that matter). If I had a time machine I'd go back to 1977, just to walk into the old Trusello's on Elmwood Ave and drink in the smell of the flour and oil.
