Livin’ on the edge: Flash notch third straight 2-1 win

blog by Ben Tsujimoto  •   •  

An infinite number of qualities characterize a championship-caliber team, but for the promising 2013 Western New York Flash squad, two stick out prominently.

Western New York (3-2-1) completed a three-game home winning streak with a 2-1 win over the injury-ridden Chicago Red Stars in front of 3,152 at Sahlen’s Stadium Friday night, propelling the Flash into a tie with FC Kansas…

Disco fever at Buffalo Bisons’ Fridaynightbash! - PHOTOS

gallery by Cody Osborne  •   •  

Fridaynightbash! at Coca-Cola Field was a bit more interesting this past week due to Disco Night. Even though the weather was a bit cold everyone still made it out to the game on Friday night to support their local Triple-A baseball team.

The game got off to a slow & steady start. The Bisons' defense looked great and the pitching was spot on as well (for both squads). In the 4th…

Let the Flying Bison beers and wafting BBQ scent of BW Smokin’ Barrels Barbeque satiate you pre-game, and then the International League battle of top teams will dominate the night’s entertainment.

The fan with the O.J. tattoo - INTERVIEW

blog by Ben Tsujimoto  •   •  

Bryan LaBarron spent four years in the U.S. Navy, just completed his bachelor’s degree at Buffalo State and chose Hall-of-Fame inductee Thurman Thomas as his favorite all-time Buffalo Bill.

He’s been featured in the national media, however, for a reason that would humble even the most diehard Bills fan.

LaBarron had the mugshot of NFL Hall of Famer and former Buffalo Bills…

St. Bonaventure’s Conger invited to work out in front of all NBA teams

blog by Ben Tsujimoto  •   •  

Summer 2013 is a quiet season for graduating Big 4 basketball players, especially considering last summer’s fanfare that accompanied St. Bonaventure’s Andrew Nicholson—who was selected No. 19 to the Orlando Magic in the 2012 NBA Draft.

A slew of average to above-average college players have exhausted their eligibility, as Canisius’ Harold Washington, UB’s Tony Watson II, St.…

Sabres re-sign John Scott, another year of video bombs ahead - VIDEOS

blog by Ben Tsujimoto  •   •  

We don’t usually write about individual player signings, but with Buffalo Sabres enforcer John Scott, we’ll make an exception.

On Monday morning, Sabres GM Darcy Regier announced that Buffalo would bring back Scott for a second season after the rugged winger played in 34 games, serving as protection for goalie Ryan Miller. Scott did not register a point on the season, but he was…

Bills fan Couture circles the wagons for the Sharks

blog by Ben Kirst  •   •  

Winning a huge game? Couture likes the Bills, does not follow their example.

At first glance, it seemed a little odd that San Jose Sharks center Logan Couture was a trending Twitter topic throughout Sunday morning in Western New York. Sure, his story from Saturday night—overcoming a second-period injury to score an overtime goal that gave the Sharks a 2-1 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings—was a big deal for hockey fans, and…

The road brings alt-country legend Richard Buckner to Buffalo

blog by Ben Kirst  •   •  

Richard Buckner is a man of mystery.

There is a romantic figure in our collective imaginations, an image that dates back to the earliest days of our country that has evolved over time and distance: the solitary man whose rugged freedom and guileless self-knowledge are counterbalanced by a troubled sense of emptiness and loss. The frontiersman, the pioneer, the railroad tramp, the hitchhiker, the folk singer—tough…

Another bizarre turn from the Mario Williams engagement ring fiasco

blog by Ben Kirst  •   •  

Happier times for Mario Williams and Erin Marzouki.

Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams’ attempt to recoup an engagement ring from ex-fiancee Erin Marzouki has officially gone from vaguely humorous to downright dark: Marzouki’s lawyer, Houston-based litigator Tony Buzbee, has released a series of text messages allegedly sent by Williams to Marzouki in which the former Texans star supposedly copped to prescription painkiller…
