Sports Causes Knee Jerk Reactions
2012-05-19 09:04:40
.Brothers & Sisters,             So there I was, pouring an $8 pitcher of Yuengling(Thursday's Special) & watching the Heat lose by almost 20 to the Pacers. The last ticks off the clock hadn't even happened & then I heard it. "Well that's it the Heat are toast!" While I don't think the person who said that is nuts, I do think it's a bit premature. I mean I know losing by the much is bad, Dwayne Wade having a meltdown is bad, LEBRON JAMES missing a lot of free throws is bad, & Bosh injured & not likely to return this series is bad but slow your roll there Phil Jackson of the bar stool. The series is 2-1 not 3-0. They still need 4 to win a best of seven, right? That is the sports world we live in folks. Quic...
 
What we miss about the Wide World of Sports
2012-05-12 08:40:15
Brothers & Sisters!             In the wake of the latest Floyd Mayweather fight & the renewed talk of the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao "Super Fight!" I started to think about a time before PPV. What's that you say? You don't remember a time before PPV? Well maybe I'm dating myself but I remember how great it was when a saturday afternoon boxing match was as free as a saturday afternoon baseball game.When a championship boxing match was more anticipated than the Super Bowl! A time when it was as exciting as your first taste of Crown Royal BBQ Wings!              Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, "Marvelous Marvin Hagler" these names could be seen any giv...
 
Has it been that long since May Day came early?!
2012-04-24 19:56:59
Brothers & Sistas!       Has it been 19 years since Rick Jeanneret screamed into his mic "MAY DAY! MAY DAY!"? Has it been 19 years since we saw May fake the great Ray Bourque out of his hockey pants to go one on one with this guy?! Remember who he is?Before you hurt yourself, it was Andy Moog.            I was at my parents house, watching the game with my dad. We were sharing some Bud Light & Pizza. We watched as Brad May a few minutes before kissed his stick before a face-off. We were feeling a sense of doom. Simply because we hadn't been out of the first round of the playoffs since Reagan's 1st years in office. Yet there went Brad on that faithful day, streaking down the wing, beating Bourque &a...
 
Michael Floyd to Buffalo at #10
2012-04-19 15:51:51
Ok, I am going to start off with Michael Floyd. Why I am doing this, is I think he is the best fit for Buffalo at #10. Having watched every game of his career, I think I can provide deeper insight into his ability. I am not a scout, or "draftnik", but I have seen some things I like.Since Floyd got to Notre Dame, he has been a consistent force for Notre Dame. He broke all of Notre Dame's WR records(Catches, Yards & TD's) during his career despite missing 6 games his first two years, put into those games and he crushes the records. And look at some of the WR's to play there, Rocket Ismail, Tim Brown... He caught 100, yes 1-0-0 balls this year despite facing double or triple coverage 90% of the time. That is impressive.

Bills Draft Prospects
2012-04-19 13:18:32
Besides the season, this is my favorite time of year. The weather is getting warmer, and the NFL Draft is upon us! Two weeks for today we will know who the Bills think can come in and play! Now, we covered the Tanneyhill situation, which if I am wrong, I will be the first in line to buy a Tanneyhill Jersey and wear it at the Amherst Pizza and Ale House,  (Shameless Plug #1).So who will the Bills pick at #10? Good question, unlike last year where you knew it was one of 3 players(Newton, Miller or Dareus), this year offers up a lot of choice. Do the Bills go need(OL, CB, WR), or best player available(LB, QB, Etc). Good question. This time of year, unless you are picking #1 and #2, you don't telegraph your interest.My 2nd favorite part of the year is the Mock Drafts from the so called ex...
 
Tanneyhill? Really?
2012-04-16 10:14:18
So word came out last week that Ryan Tanneyhill was scheduled to visit the Buffalo Bills this week? Do the Buffalo Bills have serious interest? Or is this typical pre-draft posturing by the team, to create a false impression that they are interested in hopes of someone moving up and trading picks with them. Well, let's assume they are interested in him. UGH... Here we go Buffalo... Let's look back at our QB from last season Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick got off to hot start guiding the Buffalo Bills to a 5-1 record, and then faltering the 2nd half of the season. A few months ago, it came to light that Fitzpatrick had broken/bruised ribs after the Washington game, could that explain his drop off in production? I would like to think so. But what if it wasn't? Is Tanneyhill a viable opti...
 
What the Heck Happened?
2012-04-10 16:19:06
Brothers & Sistas,    Before I get going I want to extend one more time our thoughts & prayers to SSG Billy Wilson's family & friends. Billy was not only a customer of the Ale House but a part of the Ale House family! He would stop by & visit every time he had leave. He was one of those people, when he walked in, the staff would smile & be excited to see him. We love you Billy & will always remember you! His friends & family gathered at the Ale House on Friday & we thoroughly enjoyed sharing that time with them.   I got up early today & took a walk( I had to work off those Crown Royal BBQ Wings I had for dinner last night). As I was walking, I started to think of all that happened in the past week.    The Sabr...
 
New Buffalo Bills Nike Uniforms
2012-04-03 14:04:07
 Today the NFL and Nike released the new 2012 uniforms for the league. Nike and New Era have taken over as the new outfitters of the NFL. The new uni's for the Bills although, not radical, do have some subtle changes. The New Buffalo Bills Jerseys will go on pre-sale April 14th, something tells me that Mario Williams will be a top 10 Jersey for the NFL this year!No word or visuals on the white jersey or potential 3rd/alternate jersey. I don't expect anything radically different, except potential on a 3rd, if the Bills decide to have one. Will new Buffalo Bills Jersey's mean more wins? As a Buffaloian, there is always optimism, and I think this year could be different! Don't forget we are still in Hockey Season as the Buffalo Sabres fight to make the playoffs! Only 3 games left, s...
 
It's been awhile!
2012-03-30 09:48:53
Brothers & Sisters!        I'm sorry I've been away, but I'm here to be the  "Pizza & Wing Voice of the People".  I'm looking forward to bringing you my knowledge & opinion with a sprinkle of fun.        Alright, let's get to it!          First things first, does anyone else feel teased by the good weather we had recently? I certainly did! It felt good to go outside, take a walk, take the kids to the playground, & of course hang out on the Amherst Pizza & Ale House(APAH) patio. Now I sit here & write this in 34 degree weather! Boo, mother nature! Boo!           The Sabres seem on fire...
