Our current favorite ad during Sabres’ games these days is one the announcers read for the Upstate New York Transplant Services, that says: “You’ve been given the gift of life… give it back.” Depending on your inflection … it can be quite funny!

Last Night in Pittsburgh…
Last night the Buffalo Sabres were the visiting opponent of the Pittsburgh Penguins in Pittsburgh, PA … USA. (The country is important here.) Prior to the game, the hosting team apparently showed a video replay of the overtime goal scored by—Pittsburgh Penguin superstar, Sidney Crosby—and, though I’m certain they anticipated a loud cheer for the…
Olympic Hockey: National Personalities?
Team USA, on the strength of Ryan Miller’s shut out, and Zach Parise’s two goals, advanced to the Olympic “final four” yesterday. It was a fantastic day of hockey! The Canadian team looked super impressive, beating up on the Russians, 7-3… but making it look even easier than that. (And Russia is loaded with NHL…
Ready For The Winter Olympics
Are you ready for the winter olympics? It’s almost here! The Campbell household enjoys watching all of the olympic sporting events, but I am partial to the winter sports. (Perhaps because I like snow and cold?) We’re excited to see the hockey, featuring all of the world’s best players (kind of like an extended NHL…
Nemesis
It’s really unbelievable when in the world of professional sports, one team can totally dominate another, game after game, season after season. Unless you are a fan of a Buffalo pro sports team. No, I am not speaking of the incredible streak that the New England Patriots are still enjoying against our Buffalo Bills… though…
The NFL Network Comes to Hulu!
Following up on yesterday’s recommended Hulu show … they announced today that there is a slew of NFL content now available on their site. They even have their own channel there! This is great news, and I hope to see more. Perhaps next season NFL GameDay will be there as well? (Come on, NFL!) Until…
Bills’ Choice Continues to Baffle
According to this blog post, former NFL head coach Brian Billick was very interested in the Bills vacant head coaching spot—filled yesterday by Chan Gailey—but the Bills showed no interest in him. Marty Schottenheimer has said the same thing. In Marty’s case it’s interesting in that he and Bills’ GM Buddy Nix are good friends,…
Seriously, Bills?
After all of the talk of Bill Cower, and Marty Schottenheimer, and Mike Shannahan. Even Jon Gruden and several more lesser known, but highly-qualified candidates. After all of the “due process”. The Bills announced today that Chan Gailey will be their next head coach. Chan Gailey. Former Dallas head coach (for only two seasons). Former…
Regarding The Buffalo Bills
Perhaps you have heard that the professional football team nearest to the Campbell family hearts both geographically and emotionally has recently been making some changes. Starting a couple months ago when they fired their head coach, Dick Jauron. (Well, they really started just before the season began when they fired the offensive coordinator, Turk Schonert,…
NFL Players Are Amazing
Are these for real? They look for real. But, really? I like the warning before Mauroney does his stunt, “Do not attempt unless you are an NFL athlete.” (Perhaps not even then?) I know these are old, but my Dad sent me some in an email today, and they’re just fun, so… enjoy!
