Why did Michael Vick land in Philthy? on Sunday, August 16th, 2009

A lot of Bills fans were palpably curious, especially on Thursday, that the Bills might sign the ex-con from Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary.   Now, I was among those were curious, and some of those might have even seen Adam Schefter’s RT (re-tweet) from a Rochester twitterer reporting Vick was at RGH (Rochester General Hospital).  It was [...]

What, Matt Barnaby can’t light a fire by rubbing two sticks together? on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

How in the world did I miss this?
The event begins Aug. 14. Stroud will provide the participants with a brief survival class in the Hornepayne high school gym, toss them a copy of his book SURVIVE!, and set them loose for two nights and the better part of three days in the wilderness with no [...]

No wonder the cabbie was quiet on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

The Buffalo News digs up some dirt on the cabbie who Kane and his cousin rolled (allegedly).
No drivers license, a couple DIWI’s in his past.  No wonder his attorney has advised him to disappear.
It won’t change much in the eyes of the public as punching a 62-year-old for pretty much any reason is not cool.  [...]

Pat Kane: Something doesn’t feel quite right… on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Something about Pat Kane beating up a 62-year-old man doesn’t feel quite right.
But regardless of the “feel,” and irrespective of what comes to light that led to the instance, there is no changing the fact that it happened and that what happened is pretty much indefensible in the court of public opinion.
I’ll be the first [...]

Sabres Sign Mike Grier on Monday, August 10th, 2009

Does this mean that the Sabres are now committed to winning?  Seems to me that the Sabres have only added to their reputation of not being committed to winning since Mike Grier walked out the door three years ago with unkind things to say about the Buffalo organization.
And yet, Mike Grier is a Sabre again.  [...]

Main Street Opens on Thursday, July 30th, 2009

The 700 block of Main Street is now open again.  While this has some people perturbed about 2 way traffic also returning to Tupper (link) many are rejoicing.
Back on July 18th a unique and AWESOME band (literally) of revelers marched to the beat of a different tune.  The celebratory tune was belted out by three [...]

Over the winter, Anthony Bourdain and “No Reservations” came to Buffalo.  This was one of the stops on the “Rust Belt”.
Here are the videos.  I’m not sure if they’ll be there forever, but here they are.  They are broken up into several parts.
Part 1: Baltimore (some scenes of Buffalo) [...]

While Hot Buffalo has written a true story about the company that Mickey Kearns keeps.  Today at 5:30 Kearns will be having a Q&A at one of our favorite Buffalo Pizza joints Campieri’s.
Even if some Hot Buffalo authors are seen as “Anti-Kearns”, everyone here encourages you to use your own judgment and get involved in [...]

Friday Night South Buffalo Ride on Sunday, May 10th, 2009

It had been a few weeks since I went on a Friday night ride with Bug and the gang so after a day of busting up a concrete floor I took 20 minute nap, pumped up my tires, oiled my chain, replaced my LED light batteries, adjusted my brakes, grabbed a 12 pack and wheeled off! There is no better way to kick off a weekend than a friday night bike ride!

The Quest for the Eternal Flame on Saturday, May 9th, 2009

When I let Chris know that we were doing the Eternal Flame hike he was sure to go out of his way and call it a ‘trek’, which really scared me to say the least. I brought 12 quarts of water, full first aid kit, whistle, GPS, satelitte radio, food for 2 weeks and of course my harmonica just in case.

Glen Falls… A Secret Waterfall Park in Amherst on Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

After checking out Amherst State Park, we were still hungry for adventure and Wolf suggested to go to Glen Falls, a place shorty up the road where he takes his babes to make out with. Wolf is cool like that. Anyhow, we headed down Mill St. for a short bike ride and this is what [...]
