Why Buffalo Is Such a Special Place
It never fails. I look out the window of the airplane swooping down into Western New York and the tears automatically flow. I’m a native, but my career led me westward, ending up in Wyoming 30 years ago. It’s been a fun ride. Over the years people in Wyoming were shocked when they found out…

Yes, Bills Mafia, the phrase “first time in 20 years” is another commonality. It was frustrating to be at three of the four losses,…

Bills Edge Closer to Dominant D
It’s starting to look like Bills GM Brandon Beane, with direct input from HC Sean McDermott, is playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. We’ll get to that. We’ve had the official ground breaking to the Bills new $1.6B stadium, expected to be ready in 2026, and the Bills 2023 roster keeps improving. A…
