City of Shit November Sports

What happened???!!! It was looking so good out of the gate at 5-1. We were throwing efficiently, we were running well, we hand our coach a nice contract extension. And then..... WHAM The Bills get rolled 3 consecutive weeks by Division opponents and lose to the lowly Cleveland Browns on National Television. Why did we ever hand over a contract extension to Jauron!? We praised mediocrity in what could be described as one of the easiest first 5 games in the league. And we needed the 4th quarter to win most of them. "Let's reward the coach and his great staff". I have to ask also "Where is Turk getting these play calls"?! I loved seeing little Fred Jackson trying to plow his way into the end zone 3 consecutive times. DID NOT WORK And Trent Edwards needs to wake up. Maybe stop being a giant tool and checking off to Robert Royal and Fred Jackson. Maybe he can man up and actually throw the ball down field and take a risk, I'd respect an INT down field then one of his pussy out routes to the sideline being picked off for 6 the other way. Lynch finally snapped out of it and ran the way he should be each week. For the sake of Buffalo they need to turn it around against the Chiefs and 49ers. If they lose to both or even one of these Teams, it's over for the Bills and we can say those ass hole words. "maybe next year"

Now the Sabres. 6-0-1 wow what a start. Miller looked unbeatable, we were scoring, we were defending, the Sabres were shutting up every doubter.
"Will the Real Sabres Please Stand Up"
And here they come the typical Sabres, coming out with a flurry of wins, and hitting the skids in the months of November. For as long as I can remember Buffalo has been a terrible Mid-Season team. They love to start and finish, but November and December forget it. They will still post wins. But this time around this is embarrassing. Ryan Miller has had more people score on him in the last two games than a Hooker on the corner of Perry and Washington Street. It's not long before we will see the newest injury report of him having neck problems from looking back in the net constantly. Lastly when we will part ways with Injury Prone Tim Connoly, he as awesome when he plays but I already went through an era with a pansy like this on the ice. (ie. Pat LaFontaine...who by the way was amazing when he played). This team is in a competitive division in the conference and cannot slip to far behind.

Dear Readers I thrive off your comments on any sports topic. Please leave comments.

FINALLY!!!

It has finally happened. Syracuse has fired Greg Robinson putting an end to one of, if not the worst thing to happen to Syracuse University Football. A 9-36 record over his tenure at Syracuse has damaged what once was a proud program. Having only won 3 times in the Big East SU has become a laughing stock in college football. It has been disappointing to see this program take a fall. I hope that Syracuse will make a wise decision in picking their next coach for the program. I'm sure Lane Kiffin will be mentioned but I hope that's not the case. I would suggest they look in the conference. UCONN's Coach Edsall and Cincy's Coach Kelly would be a good fit. Also as much as I would not want Turner Gill to leave Buffalo I believe he may get a look. Main thing is they need a recruiter someone who can get this program back to prominence.

Congrats to UB for becoming Bowl Eligible this week.

Rich Rod I hope you have something better for next year. This season's "THE GAME" against Ohio State seems like it will be a laugher. It saddens me.

Bills Prediction:

Bills 24 Browns 13

BCS Poll Points

First off I want to apoligize to my readers. I did not come out with my weekend outlook, rather I choose to observe this weekend and then make some comments.

What an interesting weekend on the college gridiron. Iowa's shocker against Penn State, OT needed for Alabama to escape in Baton Rouge, and Texas Tech flexing their muscles against OK State. Sundays are always the best because you get to see the new rankings in the BCS. This week not much of a change other then Penn State Sinking. Few things I did notice when looking over the BCS rankings:

1. The Big 12 and SEC arguably the two best conferences hold the top 5 spots. I am in love with this right now. The problem that lies in this would be those sneaky boys out in Southern California. Sitting in 6th. USC can still make it into the BCS championship game but will need some help. And thier help comes in the form of a Big 12 Championship game. Missouri owns the Big 12 North and to whoever they play, if they are to win will leave a one loss USC team to climb up high in the rankings.

2. I HATE that in most fan polls and the USA TODAY and AP Top 25 poll that Florida is ahead of Texas. WHAT GIVES!!! I'm sorry Texas lost to Texas Tech ( the number 2 team now) in a last play magic by Harrell and Crabtree. Now Florida lost to an UNRANKED Ole Miss team.... I'll say it again UNRANKED. Enough said Texas is ahead of them in the BCS but the margin between them should be bigger.

3. One last thing for the Non BCS teams. That sucks for all of you. Win, win, and win some more. Utah (undeafeted), Boise State (undefeated, Ball State (undefeated), sorry you guys can't get any love in the rankings. I guess a 2 lose BCS team has something you don't.

I want to give a Hooyah!!! To the UB Bulls one victory away from Bowl Eligible, Next two games on the road where they are 1-3 but I hope they can get it done. Keep rolling Turner Gill.

The 21.9 Million Dollar Job

Its election today in the United States. Now I will not be saying anything crazy, just exercise your right to vote.

Now in the great world of sports and society, IT Has Happened!!! (Cue FanFare of Horns) Getting paid to sit on your ass. Yes it is herear, the New York Knicks have been generous enough to still pay Stephon Marbury 21.9 Million dollars to sit on the knick bench. Dressed in his jersey of course you say, NO!!! Being the inactive player that he is right now, he is wearing street clothes. I speak for all of us who say CONGRATS, lets be honest who hasn't dreamt of this job. And whats wrong with our economy??? Exactly.

Skiman Squibs:

Martin Brodeur will need surgery and be out 3-4 months. Now delaying him owning those all-time goalie records.

The Buffalo Bills keep looking worse and worse each week. But we are Billievers.

Michigan football will not be in a Bowl game for the first time in 33 years. This was not a surprise for this Wolverines fan.

Texas Tech hurdled its way to number 2 in the BCS, past Penn State. I ask the computers to put a Coaching Age consideration in their calculations. THE MAN IS A LEGEND. (Joe Pa)

Brady Quinn finally gets the call to be the starter in Cleveland, Good news for him. And good news for Derek Anderson that it happened AFTER Cleveland made him a rich man.

Lastly my "Bone Head Of The Week":

The Detroit Pistons trading for Iverson. I see no way that this trade helped the Pistons in any way. The Denver Nuggets just got stronger in the west by getting a true point guard.
