I don't want to jinx them but...

I don't think it's just me, but this year's Sabres are REALLY GOOD (especially #30 RYAN MILLER). I'm sure we'll find out more after the Team's extended 7 game road trip, but if Ryan stays healthy after the Olympics (and Patrick Lalime's re-emergence as a qualified back up to spell him some games) this Sabres group could go "all the way!"

Again, I don't want to jinx them.

As we wind down the year and the decade...

As we welcome in 2010, it has been quite a year and decade for music. Nielsen SoundScan who compiles the data for Billboard Magazine notes The Beatles "1" CD was the best-selling for the decade (selling nearly 11.5 million copies). Probably the biggest surprise of the 2000's though was that EMINEM was the biggest selling artist selling just over 32 million CD's (just over 10 million of his "The Marshall Mathers LP" good enough for #4 for the decade, and just under 10 million of his "The Eminem Show" hitting #5 for the 2000's).

For this year, iTunes says Kings Of Leon's "Only By The Night" was their most downloaded album followed by The "Twilight" soundtrack, "The Fame" Lady Gaga, and the lady that seemed to be everywhere lately Taylor Swift's "Fearless" came in #4.

According to "ROLLING STONE'S" Readers Poll GREEN DAY (who earned their "Favorite Album Of The Decade"..."AMERICAN IDIOT") was named "Favorite Artist Of The Decade!"

Here's to more great music in the coming year and decade.

Nice to see everyone at the World's Largest Disco!

Wonderful to see everyone at this year's World's Largest Disco Saturday night! Even our Star 102.5 staffer's were there...pictured at left that's Brian Demay (right) and brother Drew at the party, and our graphics/web designer extraordinaire Heather Harwood (above right...and thanks for all your pictures Heather).

Rescheduled AGAIN!

If you didn't hear...Billy and Elton's Buffalo Tour Stop has been rescheduled again, now until Tuesday MARCH 9th, 2010! I had a feeling it would be moved again since Billy has now "MEDICAL REASONS" (we can add this to FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS the reason of the last cancellation) according to his website, and after rescheduled concert dates to February for recently cancelled concerts in Denver, Salt Lake City, Kansas City, and Oklahoma City. Apparently Sir Elton is OK after his recent hospitalization in the U.K. for flu/E. Coli virus.

Again, according to the promoter, "all tickets being held for the December 4th (and July 24th) Face 2 Face concert will be valid for the rescheduled March 9th concert, and tickets are still available at www.Tickets.com, The HSBC Arena Box Office, or charge by phone at 888-223-6000 (if necessary, refunds are available at point of purchase)."

Not bad for the first half!

You can't fault Bills Safety JAIRUS BYRD who had 2 more interceptions, but with with an Offense that couldn't produce or just stay on the field to help the defense in the second half an all too familiar outcome for the Bills Sunday. It didn't help that a back-up running back for the Texans, RYAN MOATES (above), rushed for 3 TD's in the Bills loss.

The best thing for the Team next week...a bye!

Great play by Buffalo Rookie defenders!

Wonderful wins by Buffalo sports teams over the weekend thanks to two stellar rookies! Saturday night the SABRES won in come-from-behind fashion in a shootout in Tampa

Bay thanks to 6 foot 8 inch rookie #57 TYLER MYERS (pictured at left) who scored the winning goal and is playing "way beyond his teenage years" and is certainly a candidate for Rookie-Of-The-Year in the NHL!

Sunday's BILLS win at Carolina came at the hands of another rookie #31 JAIRUS BYRD (right) who had 2 interceptions in the game leading to scores (his 5th pick in the last 3 games)!
