Pros and Cons: Empire State Network 1990-2005
One of my fondest memories of a 40-plus year TV broadcasting career as Sports Director at WGRZ-TV, was a brief two year stint as part of Adelphia Cable’s Empire Sports Network. They asked me to host a show they called “Pros and Cons”, and did we have some fun. It was great that Ch2 allowed…

With all this tragedy, it’s hard to inflate the Bills’ most recent season-ending loss…
