It’s going to be a busy week of high school basketball in Western New York, and it’s going to be an equally hectic week for us at Buffalo Sports Daily.  Beginning tonight, over the next three nights I’m embarking on an adventure that will see me cover 18 of Western New York’s best basketball teams, [...]

In just over two weeks the third annual Winter Classic will be held. That’s a pretty amazing statement because that means we’re almost two years removed from the day when Ralph Wilson Stadium was transformed into a hockey rink. January 1, 2008 is still by far my favorite day as a Buffalo sports fan, and [...]

(Over the next several days, Buffalo Sports Daily/Bull Run blogger Tim Riordan is running a series on potential head coaching replacements for Turner Gill at UB.  Today features Jeff Quinn, Cincinnati offensive coordinator who according to the Buffalo News just interviewed for the position.)

Oh, to be born in a hockey Mecca.
The Sabres have been pushing the this “City of Hockey” business on us all season. Detroit still claims to be “Hockeytown.” Still, what NHL city can make a game feel more important than Montreal? The atmosphere, the crowd, the intensity; everything about a home game against the Bleu, [...]

Governor Paterson’s office has released five alternate bridge designs (.pdf) from which to choose and reject, and about which to argue.

Thank God they all contain the words “Signature Bridge”. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be signature bridges. Or something. I’m pretty sure we’ll still be talking about this in 2019.

The Law of Sally Field:  If Buffalo is mentioned in an even remotely positive light in some non-local media outlet – however obscure – the piece will be held up as confirmation that we’re not all daft for living here.
Steve’s Corollary:  If Buffalo is added to some sort of Forbes list, it will be held up [...]
