Apparently WGR brought up Bucky's column from 2013 and a link has been posted in the comments section for Bucky's column from today. There's some good reading in Bucky's comment section today. Obviously Bucky doesn't research his old columns to make sure there are no contradictions.

Shows how poopty of a writer he is to apparently not even write with true feelings and opinions, otherwise how can you be so damn opposite of yourself!!

Did you folks listen to Howard's rant?

It's awesome and it's pretty spot on. Save your WGR jokes because personally I don't GAF. The rant is worth a listen.

The whole Buffalo media battle has become embarrassing, for me at least.

The beaver thats eats you?

Does Mike Weber not realize we love him? I think he needs a group hug.

That is fantastic.

Looks like Bucky got the reaction he wanted.

Simon and White are an embarrassment.
Simon's little 5 year old temper tantrums on air have become very old.
It's a real shame these two people have voices and speak on behalf of some of us Buffalonians.
Others may not care, I do.
2 people mind you that were not even born in Buffalo.

Hat, you and I don't agree often, but I agree here. They have become embarrassing. They act like 5 year olds when someone who has a differen't point of view tries to talk.

Same with the Buffalo news folk. It reminds me of when a kid sticks his fingers in his ears and just yells so he cant hear the other point.

I want to lose as much as the next guy. But I am not open about it, because I'm afraid of karma to be honest.

Only 2 of the Sabres were born in Buffalo, 1 in Rochester. And that's an extremely high # of locals for a professional team.

Howard was slamming the Buffalo News folk. He was pissed because he is sick of losing. Who isn't sick of losing?

i think it just shows his willingness to get a reaction.. what is the best way to do that, create controversy.. both stories did because they were slamming someone

Other side of the coin are people who are ashamed of the people who rant on the opposite side of the argument. Either way is no-win

He goes way too far off of the edge.
The guy is an embarrassment and I am embarrassed that he has a voice to speak on my behalf acting the way he does on air.
Top it all of, he was not even born here.
Only lived here for half of his life, same as White.
WGR needs to put some personalities in that studio that are at least listenable.
Those two are no longer that.

- IndianaSabresFan

I'm not one to care all that much if someone is capitalizing on something for a story like that, but at least have integrity and write TRUTH. It's obvious to me that he ONLY writes for hits/money/ego since he can't even maintain his own beliefs in such a short time span.

There's your problem, you take it too personally

I have said time and time again that I get the other side, the "pro tankers" side, I am not ignorant.
I just won't and can't root against my hockey team that I have loved since their inception.
People are just built differently. It's as simple as that.
It certainly does not make one better than the other.
That's all I have to say on this matter because this issue becomes far too heated for my liking.
We are all fans of our Buffalo Sabres and that we can all agree upon.

I was back in college in 2005 so I don't really recall the hype for Crosby and Ryan as it was happening. Clearly I had better things to do. My question to you guys who followed the process, was there similar hype surrounding both Crosby and Ryan, or was it Crosby or bust?
- TheSabresTaco

I was in college too, but I followed. Social media wasn't quite the juggernaut it is today, so I doubt there was as much publicized talk about it. Also, Crosby came in out of the lockout where the lottery odds were different based on a missed season.

I know, and I'm not saying it in a way to rile you up, just pointing out that while you're lambasting a couple guys for "representing you", there are people like Bucky that others hate in the same way.

Hat, I like you man, you seem like a real dude who says what he feels and doesn't say things for the sake of doing it. But you always seem to have such a high level if dissatisfaction with the Sabres, with the fans and the media because they aren't doing things your way. My point is, what has there really been to be happy with? Its a hockey team that hasn't won a playoff series in 8 years. That's a long time. My life has completely changed twice during that span. Go with the flow, they are making things better.
