Buffalo Super Fan

The problem this subject was there was no three point shot in the NBA during the 1960’s through much of the 1970’s. So we don’t know only the ABA had the three point shot. My pick would still be Wilt Chamberlain. I think Wilt Chamberlain is the best basketball player I ever saw. Just on that I would take Wilt Chamberlain if they had a three point shot. He was unstoppable again we didn’t see the whole career on him because he refused to play his last year of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers NBA. And instead of doing the right thing for the championship Wilt gave the Lakers they went to court to stop Wilt from playing in the ABA. Because he signed to be a player coach with the San Diego Conquistadors ABA for $600,000 a season. The ABA which ironically had the three point shot. If Wilt played with the San Diego Conquistadors than the San Diego Sails ABA joined the NBA-ABA merger he would have been 40 years old so it was possible he was playing post NBA-ABA merger. Wilt played professional volleyball until 1979 at age 43 so your talking another 6 years of potential professional basketball the fans didn’t get because of the Lakers, Wilt and the San Diego Conquistadors law suit over the option year. Wilt Chamberlain played a prime year with the Harlem Globetrotters also before he started his professional NBA career and also played professional volleyball with the Seattle Smashers IVA until the International Volleyball Association folded in 1979 in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

I wouldn’t put Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane in the overrated category but definitely the head coach “Mr 13 seconds” Sean McDermott. If Sean McDermott gets fired at the end of next season he has only himself to blame. Sean McDermott wouldn’t be getting the garbage he is getting if he was just a leader admitted that 13 seconds is on me after the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game as a head coach this wouldn’t be happening. Then Sean McDermott makes it worse still refusing to be a leader accepting some blame for coming up short. Oh no Sean McDermott can’t be a leader and accept responsibility as the Buffalo Bills head coach. Nothing to see here Bills fans Leslie Frazier isn’t coming back. Leslie Frazier was fired Sean McDermott couldn’t be a leader enough saying “I fired Leslie Frazier to deflect blame from me” because I am learning on the job and I tend to panic in pressure situations. Because remember it is never Sean McDermott fault self job preservation. Sean McDermott is getting fired we know how this is going to end from seeing it before from head coaches with huge egos unfortunately. The Bills football team are weaker now. Sean McDermott taking over the defense when he can’t handle being a good head coach what could go wrong? I expect the Bills to at worse get to the Super Bowl or surely Sean McDermott needs to be fired all because he couldn’t be a leader and accept personal responsibility for failing as a head coach it would have bought Sean McDermott more time if the bum accept responsibility it’s not too late opening day of training camp I failed Western New York for two years and I need to be a better Bills head coach admit that I am good as a Bills fan. Don’t spin and double down that gets you fired in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

I would like to see the Buffalo Bills trade the pick for a proven NFL player further along than a rookie before the window completely closes on this Bills core group of players. Or if that wasn’t available I would like the Bills to trade down in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Yes along with the New Jersey Devils aren’t going anywhere either with Lindy Ruff. It’s the competition level the Buffalo Sabres are simply not ready to beat top elite level NHL hockey teams on a consistent basis yet unfortunately. If the elite team has a goalie lights out the Buffalo Sabres lose. Again I don’t care if the Buffalo Sabres go 0-82 next season I want Devon Levi to be the starter goalie next season. Enough with this five and dime alternating three goalies. If you are playing three goalies you don’t have a starting goalie. Again Devon Levi needs to play if he is awful next season guess who is going into the draft in 2024 looking for another franchise goalie? The Buffalo Sabres in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

The Canisius Golden Griffins aren’t building anything until they get there own Basketball and Hockey athletics facility like the Boston College Hockey area schools that have arenas of 5,000 they use for basketball and hockey. Canisius isn’t winning with KAC basketball and Harbor Center hockey with 2,000 fans is way too small. You make your own miracles with money in sports. Buffalo college athletics has very little money investment wise to ever make that happen with our four area Division I schools. There is no shortcuts to winning championships you make the investment you win you don’t you get like what Buffalo gets with a lot of things not just Griffs hockey. Buffalo fans want the Buffalo Sabres to win a Stanley Cup make a $70 million dollar investment in a practice facility for the Buffalo Sabres and a home for there AHL farm team like the Vegas Golden Knights have. You want UB Bulls in the Power 5 Conference make the investment. You want the St Bonaventure Bonnies to get to the Final Four again grow the fan base beyond Olean. That was another lost opportunity not doming the new Buffalo Bills Stadium it could have been the Bonnies home away from home St Bonaventure is what 60 to 70 minutes from Orchard Park. The Bonnies need 25,000 to 30,000 fans to go to there games to compete with these college basketball power programs. Again Buffalo can’t get MLB, MLS or NBA today. But we could try to make what we got better Division I college sports and we don’t do it. We don’t even try or even plan anything everything is can’t too heavy a lift. Just all or nothing on a Buffalo Bills Super Bowl and when that doesn’t happen some are really disappointed. I don’t like those odds the Buffalo Bills or bust for a National championship. We need to do better Minnesota has lots of opportunities for national championships NFL, NHL, MLB, MLS, NBA and major college sports in the Big Ten Conference because the city chose to make the investment and Buffalo chose not to it seems pretty simple to me in my opinion. Go Griffs! Let’s Go Buffalo

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott can say whatever he wants but if he doesn’t get to the Super Bowl this season I wouldn’t be surprised that the Bills show Sean McDermott the door for Leslie Frazier the Bills new head coach in 2024. I think sitting out a year is a good thing for Leslie Frazier because Sean McDermott is all in now. There is no excuses or anyone else to blame but himself Sean McDermott good luck. Same deal with Buffalo Sabres head coach Don Granato if he doesn’t make the playoffs in 2023-24 he will join Sean McDermott on the unemployment line in my opinion. Go Bills! Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

I tell it like it is because at 55 years old as qualifying as a senior now in Western New York I don’t care I am old. I agree with you but as a UB Bulls fan and season ticket holder for over 30 years this school alumni have been in denial for years. St Bonaventure Bonnies pays head basketball coach Mark Schmidt over a $1 million dollars a year and some of these UB alums have an excuse for not paying a UB Bulls coach. The reality is Mark Schmidt makes as much as UB Bulls football and basketball head coaches combine. Then the UB Bulls alums will have the stones to say St Bonaventure Bonnies isn’t a Western New York school or a small college or whatever put down deflecting from reality. I am a Canisius College alum that is a fan of all four Big Four college basketball schools. I just want Western New York to win I don’t care which school does it just win a national championship for Western New York. Yesterday March 21, 1977 was the one and only post season National Championship the St Bonaventure Bonnies NIT championship Western New York ever won in college basketball over head coach Guy Lewis’s Houston Cougars with star player Otis Birdsong at Madison Square Garden. I was 9 years old when the Bonnies won for Western New York that is how long it’s been. I don’t care about UB Bulls excuses nor that PSE bum Terry Pegula’s excuses for failure. Just win a National Championships for the Western New York area Bonnies, UB Bulls, Bills, Sabres whatever just win the championship fools the whole bunch excuse making fools five and dime owners and five and dime donors in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls! Let’s Go Buffalo

Regardless of what happens this season I think next year is firing time for Don Granato and Kevyn Adams if this team doesn’t make the playoffs next season. Am I expecting that a playoff birth definitely for 2023-24 two months ago yes. Today no I see this team took the easy way out again and the future for playoffs is cloudy. Pressure excuse is a ridiculous excuse for having no answers of the Buffalo Sabres collapse again. Every player in the NHL has pressure. How come the Buffalo Sabres haven’t responded for 12 plus years of pressure? It’s a lazy way out of saying the Buffalo Sabres took the easy way out again and are ready to golf because spring is in the air. The Buffalo Sabres are ridiculous and I will be watching the baseball Buffalo Bisons March 31. Next season clean house if the Buffalo Sabres are in the same situation again. Some Buffalo Sabres fans think the Sabres have all this time they don’t. Every year this continues the Buffalo Sabres lose money. Devon Levi better be the answer for next season or I don’t think Don Granato is going to have a job. I question Kevyn Adams being retained because he continues to not address the goalie and defense issues on this hockey team along with hiring Don Granato as head coach to begin with. I would fire both if the Buffalo Sabres don’t make the playoffs next season. I don’t like our current Buffalo Sabres development setup at all it’s outdated I would leave Rochester. PSE needs to leave Rochester sell the Rochester teams to Rochester community ownership. Then the Buffalo Sabres need to buy land in either Erie County or Niagara County build a complex like the Vegas Golden Knights did in Henderson a Las Vegas suburb Dollar Loan Center a 5,500 arena for $70 million dollars to host the Buffalo Sabres practices and the new Buffalo Sabres AHL franchise along with smaller sports Buffalo franchises like the Vegas Golden Knights do with the indoor football and NBA G League get out of Rochester. The Blue Cross Arena is no place to develop players anymore when are the Buffalo Sabres going to get this? The Sabres keep doing the same things expecting different results. Again there is a reason why the Las Vegas Golden Knights run a first class organization and the Buffalo Sabres don’t think about it. Trucking to Rochester is ridiculous the Buffalo Sabres prospects should get set up in Buffalo learning to deal with living in Buffalo and pressure from day one in Buffalo. It might have been easier to sell Buffalo Sabres prospects on the AHL for a year if the franchise was in Buffalo area instead 90 minutes away. Where a Devon Levi can see the veteran Buffalo Sabres players interacting in the same training facility we have no such thing in Rochester that mind as well be Los Angeles. BSF why do you think PSE won’t do that? Money $70 million dollars why Terry Pegula that bum won’t do it. Tie it in with one of the Seneca Casino to cut costs I don’t care how the Buffalo Sabres do it. But it has to be done I have been saying this for years the Buffalo Sabres need to leave Rochester the Blue Cross Arena is no place to train modern professional hockey players today in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

No I dare Terry Pegula to start a new Buffalo team of his own that he created like Ralph Wilson and Seymour and Norty Knox did. I will be the first to say I am wrong about Terry Pegula if he does it? It isn’t happening because Terry Pegula is a taker with no real creativity he isn’t capable. BSF are you saying Terry Pegula sucks compared to Ralph Wilson and the Knox Brothers? Yes. Harbor Center never brought Buffalo OHL major junior hockey or anything that wasn’t already here in Buffalo. The NHL draft combined that is about it for Harbor Center it is too small 2,000 to house anything but little league hockey and low level college hockey Canisius College. Ralph Wilson created a Buffalo AFL football franchise in a new start up league and won a championship in 4 years. The Knox brothers started the Buffalo Sabres NHL, Buffalo Bandits NLL and co founded the Buffalo Blizzard NPSL indoor soccer with Bob Rich. The Sabres went to the finals and lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in year 5 from start up. The Bandits were champions in year one and two from start up. The Blizzard were playoffs year one losing to the great Cleveland Crunch teams with Otto Orf, Hector Marinaro and Zoran Karic. The Blizzard folded after year 9 by John Belanti who bought the team then he became ill and then passed away. Terry Pegula is a bad owner and creates nothing really original sports wise he isn’t capable. He is capable of hiring bad coaches, over paying players and coaches. What the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres spent on coaches not to coach the Buffalo Blizzard soccer team would be fully funded for 10 years if not more. PSE doesn’t care because there corporate ownership using your money to spend and waste while creating nothing legacy wise for the city they are taking from. What is Terry Pegula legacy besides $1.1 billion dollars it’s $850 million BSF? No it isn’t it’s $1.1 billion dollars over the 30 year lease. Western New York has to care for the new stadium for 30 years. Trust me Terry Pegula isn’t a savior or special he is a bum who is clueless how to win anything or create anything legacy wise Ralph Wilson and the Knox Brothers were sports men not Terry Pegula corporate owner that takes more than he gives back he isn’t a old school sports owner in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

I am here to tell it like it is this Buffalo area isn’t happening sports wise anymore we haven’t had much added since the 1990’s. If Buffalo was happening we wouldn’t have a empty Key Bank Center with the opposing team fans. The Boston Bruins game was a disgrace Sunday afternoon. That use to be filled with Buffalo Blizzard indoor soccer and Buffalo Destroyers Arena football and Big 4 college basketball games fans. Less isn’t more both our Bills and Sabres attendance is down today from the 1990’s. So much for well if all these smaller Buffalo teams go away the Bills and Sabres attendance will go up they actually went down out of sight out of mind. Fans were used to going to Key Bank Center for live sports entertainment back then not just Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bandits. Look at Buffalo in 1990’s look at Buffalo today? We have less sports teams and we aren’t happening regardless of what a few Bills Mafia fans think this area doesn’t attract start up sports teams hence we don’t have anything happening. Sports is always good indicator of how an area is doing economically. Do Buffalo sports fans realize the indoor soccer teams went on without the Buffalo Blizzard. The Milwaukee Wave, Baltimore Blast, St Louis Ambush, Kansas City Comets, Harrisburg Heat all went on still in business 22 years later without Buffalo. You will know when Buffalo is improving when these leagues come knocking on Buffalo’s door again. We haven’t had a knock since 1999 Buffalo Destroyers Arena football wake up. We can’t attract a professional soccer team everyone but Buffalo has one that doesn’t say Buffalo is on the up swing economically smoke and mirrors. It’s an embarrassment that I read Buffalo posters thinking Buffalo is happening today how? The new Buffalo Bills stadium? That will sit empty 350 days a year. Our Key Bank Center that attracts nothing today the Buffalo Blizzard team office was by the elevators is storage today for the Buffalo Sabres wake up PSE is a terrible manager of Key Bank Center they don’t attract investment and startups teams to Buffalo. PSE has not added one sports team to Key Bank Center there slum lord owners. They aren’t Seymour and Norty Knox they were sports men. Terry Pegula is a taker that leaches off other business people sports vision Terry Pegula is a bum. Terry Pegula isn’t doing anything for that new Bills Stadium but hosting 10 Buffalo Bills games a year there on our dime wake up we need new owners that aren’t slum lords that might try to improve Western New York instead of takers which is what PSE are takers. Terry Pegula is a bum until proven otherwise. I will be the first to admit I am wrong on this board. I dare PSE to start a new Buffalo franchise it will never happen he even started one in Rochester the Rochester Knighthawks forget Buffalo where most of his sports holdings are he is a taking bum who leaches off other business people’s vision like Ralph Wilson and the Knox Brothers in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Because my point is you don’t have investment in Buffalo privately it is mostly public from the state of New York. As for the minor league football comment we need programming in Key Bank Center if we are ever going to get that arena renovated in the future. I disagree the Buffalo Destroyers outdrew UB, Canisius and Niagara basketball combined most nights. Also if Buffalo was this great football town we would have arena football. Green Bay, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Dallas, Bay Area have indoor football franchises with more NFL cities to come. If Buffalo can’t attract a franchise in the New Restarted Arena Football League starting next season that is adding 16 new franchises what the heck does it say about Buffalo? We have no professional sports but the Buffalo Bisons IL baseball in the summer months. Also forget the Buffalo college sports it just isn’t happening. Buffalo drew more with Buffalo Blizzard and Buffalo Destroyers than college basketball today that is a fact. Even the Bonnies don’t outdraw what Buffalo drew in the 1990’s in arena football or indoor soccer. I know I was there for all of it. Some one could start the Buffalo Destroyers, Buffalo Blizzard, Buffalo Stallions tomorrow they all would outdraw Western New York mid major college basketball look it up. I know I watched the doubleheader basketball games dying a slow death as the Buffalo Bandits and Buffalo Blizzard were beating the hell out of the Little Three then Big 4 basketball games on prime Saturday nights they couldn’t draw $5 for two basketball games and free parking at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. When the Buffalo Blizzard, Buffalo Stampede and Buffalo Destroyers were in Buffalo. I was at UB Bulls East Coast Conference and Mid Con Conference games with 500 people for a game against Youngstown State I thought then as I still do that college sports is a heavy lift for Buffalo. Those UB Bulls basketball Nate Oats teams and Griffs basketball with John Beilein couldn’t put 15,000 like the Buffalo Bandits last night that is reality. Buffalo will like the Buffalo Destroyers again trust me playing other major league cities that Buffalo sports fans can relate too. Even the Buffalo Stampede drew a good 5,000 in Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in the summer time and over 14,000 for the RHI Murphy Cup championship game. That 14,000 is more fans than Syracuse against UB Bulls in the Big 4 basketball game at Marine Midland Arena and more than Canisius vs Kentucky at Marine Midland Arena. Those two disappointing crowds is what finished off the Big 4 doubleheader program restart at Marine Midland Arena. The Arena lost big time on paying Syracuse and Kentucky the money to come to Buffalo and for whatever reason Buffalo fans didn’t go like they had hoped. I was there it was pretty sad. The Buffalo Destroyers were sold to Columbus, Ohio when Mark Hamister who was a terrible owner when it came to running a professional sports franchise when he didn’t get the Buffalo Sabres he took his football and went home. The Buffalo Blizzard John Belanti unfortunately got sick so he folded the Buffalo Blizzard. Buffalo isn’t a college sports town anymore. I am saying yes I think the Buffalo Destroyers would outdraw all four Big 4 basketball programs combined attendance today like the Buffalo Bandits do today because Buffalo likes professional sports where players get traded and coaches get fired. Plus last point if a Western New Yorker didn’t go to one of those 4 Big 4 schools or if they did they are already rooting for someone there not going to root for someone else locally school wise if they went to school somewhere else. The Buffalo Destroyers are safe because you aren’t rooting against your school you went too. Sure there are some Buffalo fans like me that went to Canisius but grew up going to all four schools games but there aren’t enough of fans like that in Buffalo. The Buffalo Destroyers or a Buffalo professional soccer team would outdraw all of the Buffalo Big 4 basketball teams combined because we aren’t a college sports town anymore at least not for mid major college sports we aren’t. Trust me it hurts me to say that but it’s reality. And none of the schools are interested in Power 5 athletics and I don’t ever see that changing. Buffalo needs programming for the renovation of Key Bank Center to make the numbers work. The soccer team needs to be apart of Canalside development soccer specific stadium which I mentioned above. College sports are always going to struggle in Western New York on the mid major level. The Buffalo Destroyers are a safer bet plus it keeps football year around which is a good thing. The Buffalo Bills are going to become not affordable to a lot of Buffalo fans in 2026. UB Bulls football it’s the mid major college deal, mostly directional Ohio and Michigan schools. Not in the big league professional cities that Buffalo sports fans are use to like Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Orlando, Dallas etc. Las Vegas has three professional football teams today right now in the NFL, IFL and XFL. I think Buffalo would do better than 6,000 last night at the Vegas Vipers XFL football game in Las Vegas. If Buffalo can’t do 6,000 in some minor league football we aren’t the football city everyone thinks and definitely proving my point Buffalo isn’t happening economically anymore like even the 1990’s it’s all propaganda by our Western New York politicians with Buffalo residents parroting the talking points they hear and read in the news locally but with no basis of reality in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Speaking of soccer I believe this is correct Buffalo is the largest city in America today with no professional soccer on any kind outdoor men’s, women’s and no indoor soccer either. That screams volumes this city of Buffalo isn’t taken seriously for the future growth right now. Look at the sport building boom today was soccer specific stadiums. We aren’t a good risk for private investment kinda of proves my point we aren’t happening at this time more needs to be done. If there was any chance for MLS that new Buffalo Bills stadium would have been built downtown but there isn’t any chance for Buffalo MLS soccer which is sad. Terry Pegula could offer $1 billion dollars to MLS for a Buffalo soccer franchise and MLS would most likely say no. Because Buffalo isn’t happening in the next 25 to 30 years which is really sad. Also we need Buffalo local young wealthy people to reinvest in this area that call Buffalo there home. Forget Terry Pegula and Bob Rich the over 71 years for Pegula and over 80 years old for Rich they aren’t the future of Buffalo. Buffalo regardless of the Buffalo Bills decision to stay in Orchard Park needs some kind of Buffalo rectangular stadium again something that Buffalo haven’t had since closing War Memorial Stadium in 1988. Again the Kennington Tunnel for $1 billion dollars is a bad investment. What is New York State going to do charge people $5 to use the tunnel to get into and out of Buffalo? You know that is most likely coming to recoup the bad investment of the $1 billion dollars. That $1 billion dollars would have been better used on smaller scale projects. Buffalo needs to build a small rectangular stadium for concerts in Buffalo downtown some where 10,000 to 15,000 for a professional level Buffalo USL soccer franchise, to use for concerts and outdoor activities. Rochester has that a rectangular stadium and Buffalo doesn’t. I would build that not the outer harbor concert amphitheater that has no seating bowl and is just grass that screams Harbor Center which is useless because it’s to small to really host anything. I would also invest in more entertainment down there at Canalside like more amusement park rides like the old Crystal Beach Comet roller coaster and more adult rides. Buffalo Canalside needs to be more like Brooklyn’s Coney Island or Old Crystal Beach build the new Buffalo rectangular soccer/concert stadium inside the Canalside amusement park. Again it’s too empty down there now that needs to have a lot more entertainment for the Buffalo summer season. That wouldn’t cost $1 billion dollars and would be a better infrastructure investment to change this city’s of Buffalo’s awful image nationally. We need to clean up Lake Erie so people can swim that is something I would invest in along with building more boardwalks and laying down sand for a beach front before the tunnel to no where. I think long term Buffalo needs to connect into Toronto and Southern Ontario that is our future getting them to spend there money here more than now for the weekends because Toronto is growing along with the skyline with skyscrapers. Forget New York City there tone deaf to Western New York needs and tunnel isn’t doing really anything it shows the tone deaf disconnect in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Wanting something and getting something is two different things. BSF says whatever a player gets we the fans pay for at the end of the day so always remember that. For the fan that says give the players whatever they want the owner always passes the added cost onto the fans in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Why poor Devon Levi he chose to play for the Buffalo Sabres and will be well paid to play for the Sabres? What happened before Devon Levi plays has nothing to do with him. Same when Josh Allen came to the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen wasn’t responsible for Rex Ryan and Tyrod Taylor Bills teams in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

That was a embarrassment today 7-0 is a disgrace against the Boston Bruins after they played yesterday. If Don Granato fails next season he needs to be fired telling it like it is. Don Granato Buffalo Sabres coaching job is on the line next season. He better hope Devon Levi is the real deal or Don Granato will be fired. Punch Imlach played Don Edwards over Al Smith a NHL veteran and WHA Avco Cup Champion with the New England Whalers. Al Smith said see yeah and went back to the New England Whalers then when the leagues merged Al Smith was back in the NHL. My point age doesn’t matter Devon Levi is the same age as Don Edwards 21 years old he is an adult. And I will add has more real world experience having two years of college over Don Edwards who played in a Ontario Junior Hockey Bus League. Age doesn’t matter talent matters. Again if Devon Levi fails that is on him not the Buffalo Sabres. He wants to be in big leagues let’s see what he has. If he fails he fails. What did all the Sabres coddling do for UPL he still sucks like he has since day one. You are either good enough or you are not. The Buffalo Sabres stop coddling professional athletes get in there and be a star like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. This Buffalo Sabres fan someday crap is baloney the Sabres have three years and Devon Levi is a restricted free agent play him in Buffalo forget Rochester. I would play Devon Levi the rest of the way then decide where to go from there. If he sucks we trade or sign two goalies sending him down for more seasoning next year but make no mistake it’s a step back if he has to go to Rochester next year I will have doubts about him as a star goalie. Forget Ryan Miller the NHL is a bigger league with number of teams today Ryan Miller goes right to the NHL because there is a goalie shortage. If Devon Levi is good we bring in one goalie. I have seen enough of the present three goalies UPL, Anderson and Comrie all need to go in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

My after college years in my twenties were the 1990’s. Buffalo had everything sports wise going on with all kinds of sports teams in the 1990’s. We had professional soccer, roller hockey, arena football. Look at Canisius College that I am alum of. Griffs basketball is scary bad and few fans at KAC a glorified high school gym that doesn’t say Buffalo is happening anymore. Canisius College can’t afford Key Bank Center because Buffalo is broke and quit on college basketball locally because they are broke. If you don’t have enough people in the Western New York population to write a $150 check for Griffs season tickets you are falling as a Western New York community. Again giving the Buffalo Bills $10,000 PSL’s doesn’t say Buffalo is happening when we have far more of everything else sports wise attendance is flat or really declining in Griffs basketball numbers case. Today as a 55 year old I am being told Buffalo is happening today. But we can’t afford USL soccer on the professional level we are working on. What is that? It’s a joke amateur soccer isn’t professional the level is terrible. I saw Tony Meola play for the Buffalo Blizzard NPSL indoor soccer that was paid professional soccer. Yet today indoor soccer went on without Buffalo even tiny Utica has a team in the MASL indoor soccer not Buffalo. We can’t afford it. We don’t need to play the San Diego Sockers or St Louis Ambush or the Kansas City Comets or Milwaukee Wave or Harrisburg Heat we have Bills Mafia and are happening successful city we have Terry Pegula who has zero vision just a taker of public money. We are a mess and our wealthy continue to not live in Western New York or invest just what can they suck out of Western New York. Again when investors are more interested in the metropolitan city’s of Quad City Steamwheelers in Moline, Illinois, Des Moines, Iowa the Iowa Barnstormers are Phoenix, Arizona with the Arizona Rattlers and the San Diego, California, San Diego Strikeforce you know Buffalo isn’t happening as a place to invest in sports wise or anything in anymore. We wonder why we are always coming up short and are disappointed because those other cities have more investment from there wealthy people that actually live there not all in Florida like Buffalo. All our Buffalo area sports teams are owned by two families Terry Pegula and Bob Rich they are both in Florida. Inside Buffalo investment is zip we aren’t happening even with the wasteful billion dollar tunnel to no where just plain old money laundering and play for pay nothing changes but the year in Western New York that is the truth in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

If Buffalo is this great football town and sports town that is on the so called economic rise why have we not been picked by leagues like this IFL? The IFL has the Green Bay Blizzard and Arizona (Phoenix) Rattlers are NFL cities and in the 1990’s Buffalo we were picked for leagues like this? I Was a Buffalo season ticket holder of most of these Buffalo franchises. 1992 Buffalo Bandits MILL indoor lacrosse winter league, 1992-93 Buffalo Blizzard NPSL indoor soccer, 1994 Buffalo Stampede RHI Roller Hockey, 1997 Buffalo Wings RHI Roller Hockey, 1997 Buffalo Gamblers OLA indoor lacrosse summer league, 1999 Buffalo Destroyers Arena Football League. Again if Buffalo was happening like the 1990’s we would be in some of these leagues. We are actually worse off economically than the 1990’s in Buffalo in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Can the new Buffalo Bills Stadium host a Buffalo Major League Cricket franchise? Or a Buffalo Major League Rugby franchise or is Buffalo to broke? If the answer is Buffalo is too broke or Buffalo isn’t capable of anything new than that new Buffalo Bills stadium is going to be as useless as the old Buffalo Bills Highmark Stadium in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

But that isn’t Damar Hamlin’s fault. There isn’t a single person on this board that wouldn’t take the opportunities offered to him because of what happened. It will help him potentially when his professional football career is over. I don’t get the Buffalo Bills fans wanting to punish him with distraction. Sean “Mr 13 seconds” McDermott is a distraction for not taking responsibility for losing the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game throwing anyone under the bus for self job preservation. If a Buffalo Bills fans want to talk about real distractions. Damar Hamlin had a freak play that was one in a million chance it will happen a second time. If Damar Hamlin passes the physical sure why not. If it’s his play in training camp fine cut him but distraction isn’t valid excuse because he isn’t a distraction. Terry Pegula is another distraction wanting $850 million dollars along with PSL’s if we want to talk about Buffalo Bills distraction with his sick cheapness to insisted on playing outside in the snowy Buffalo winter along with expensive PSL’s to pay for a seat license we already paid for when we bought a Bills football ticket read the back of a ticket it says this is a license so we pay twice Terry Pegula is the biggest distraction of all the Buffalo Bills the bum in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Don’t agree that Josh Allen is nothing without a Super Bowl ring. A Super Bowl would make Josh Allen more complete career wise. Josh Allen is nicer, younger and more entertaining than Aaron Rodgers so he has that going for him. Look I want a Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Championship bad but not bad enough for Aaron Rodgers aloof personality he is weird and not a good weird like he could divide a locker room instead of uniting one because it’s alway about Aaron Rodgers 24/7/365. I get star QB’s have egos but Aaron Rodgers has no boundaries of arrogance he has been pulling this crap for more than two years. Green Bay Packers were smart to move on I would have two years ago in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

The Buffalo Sabres are at desperation time now. I would start Devon Levi against the Boston Bruins at home Sunday afternoon let all the Sabres fans see what we have now. Hope Levi brings in some lightning in a bottle because I don’t see the Buffalo Sabres getting that playoff spot with UPL and Anderson in the Sabres goal in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

His lawyers did it’s semantics without the new stadium the Buffalo Bills were going to look elsewhere. Did that mean the Buffalo Bills were definitely gone maybe, maybe not depending on if there was another sucker city willing to give Terry Pegula public money like Erie County and New York State did. Bottom line Terry Pegula is never going to be popular in Western New York after taking the public money of $850 million dollars. That is part of the deal he is a big boy Terry Pegula knows that and he doesn’t need to have Buffalo Bills fans all to like him. I am a Buffalo Bills fan I don’t like Terry Pegula. I think Buffalo fans have it wrong on this preferring Terry Pegula over Kim Pegula. I am the opposite I like Kim Pegula over Terry Pegula. Terry Pegula is a terrible public speaker and at times cringe worthy some of the phony stuff he does and says starting with the first press conference when he bought the Buffalo Sabres crying with the French Connection seemed phony. Kim Pegula was the one I had some belief in and unfortunately with her health issues we aren’t likely to see her putting her stamp on the Buffalo sports teams anymore which is disappointing. Maybe one of the children will take over someday but Terry “Howard Hughes Like” Pegula is a public relations disaster no more phony crying no more Stanley Cup promises. You promise something then you tank you lose credibility in Buffalo in my opinion. Go Bills! Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo

I don’t believe in paying running backs, wide receivers, punters, backup quarterback’s a lot of money in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Good luck to wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie unfortunately he has hands like former Buffalo Bills tight end Rueben “Butterfingers” Gant in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Aaron Rodgers is no Bart Starr, Paul Horning, Reggie White to name few Green Bay Packers great players. Is Aaron Rodgers kidding his ego has no boundaries best Green Bay Packers player? Ok cowboy we will see what is left in the QB tank with the always bumbling New York Jets one of the worst NFL franchises one could go as a aging star player at the end of his Hall of Fame career. It’s actually pretty sad John Unitas as a San Diego Chargers and Joe Namath as a Los Angeles Rams sad in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo
