Good read (reid, reed) as always.

It would be nice to get more Americans coverage in general. Although you've been doing a great job mixing it in from time to time.

Those clowns (sorry homie) at WGR never seem to realize the Amerks exist. It always surprised me that they don't put more articles about them on their website. I haven't listened to the station since moving to VA but I doubt they discuss them much on the air either.

murph works for me, but van always had that heightened sense of drama when he called the game and had a voice reminiscent of by-gone, radio-era

Wasn't there some talk recently that they're going to have quite a few games here in Buffalo because of the lease issue?

This is how I feel about RJ too. The new generation of broadcasters don't seem to be able to do that.

How many radio markets discuss their farm team in that much depth unless they are in the same city and own the broadcast rights? Answer: next to zero. WGR is actually way ahead of the curve compared to other markets.

I said back last fall that Holtby was going to be the next goaltender to get a massive contract he had no business getting.

Holtby. He's reportedly asking for $8 mil a year. Washington's offered just over $5 mil. He has an arbitration hearing in a few days. Link up a bit is a story about it.

I am still shocked that when Cox did this coming out of the tunnel, the bills response was to lay an egg

Brad May is Bad May. His brain vapor locks while his mouth is trying to speak. Almost needs a smack in the back of his head to get the words out.

I think people are going to have a hard time adapting to change when RJ hangs it up

I think doc emrick sucks behind the mic

I know I am in the minority on this

I think Gary Thorne is way better
