HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well The BILLS are done (and Marv Levy too) and now that 2008 is here let me wish you all
a very happy, healthy, and prosperous new year and, as always, thanks for listening to STAR 102.5!

Run Run Rudolph...er GIANTS

Just too much of a running game by The Giants for the Bills...it was a great start but not much of a finish for the Team on Sunday. I'm sure the Bills meeting with Kevin Everett gave them the big emotional boost at the start (2 TD's on 2 possessions) but they couldn't sustain it for the entire game. Still, kudos to Marshawn Lynch for rushing for over 1,000 yards in his rookie season (no small feat...but with Marv spending the big bucks on the offensive line in the off season it really paid off...in more ways than one). It's on to Philly for a meaningless game, but it would be nice to go 8-8 for the year (especially with all the injuries).

It's time to get ready for the ICE BOWL...or I should say the Amp Energy WINTER CLASSIC (I don't want to get served with a Cease and Desist like Mark Corsi of Poster Art USA for printing that COOL "Ice Bowl" merchandise)!

Let's Go BUFFALO!

BILLS faced the COLD hard facts!

I suppose you could have called it the SNOW BOWL, but Sunday The Browns were more prepared than The Bills in the 8-0 shut-out! Still, The Bills "D" didn't allow a TD and the 4th quarter drive looked like it might have been another Christmas Miracle, but not scoring in the biggest game for the Team in years hurts. Even though the last two games don't mean much, and after all the early season injuries, it's still amazing The Bills did as well as they've done this season (kudos Coach Jauron).

Now let's get ready for THE ICE BOWL!

Go SABRES!!

MY BILLS CHRISTMAS WISH-play more games like Sunday!

As the BILLS "squished the fish" on Sunday, I can't remember a more complete game by the Team this year! The "D" forcing 5 turnovers, 2 Bills running backs rushing over 100 yards,
yes Virginia TRENT EDWARDS can throw the "LONG BOMB," and even though Coach Jauron did get a penalty for trying to throw the "challenge flag" when he had run out of chances-we'll give you a "pass" on that one Dick! It's been a while since the BILLS beat both The Jets and the Dolphins TWICE in the same season...and of course if the PATS weren't as good as they are it would be a whole different ball game in the AFC East! I don't have to tell you it will be a very meaningful game in Cleveland on Sunday (how many years has it been since that's happened in December for the Bills)!

LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!

THE BILLS with a last second WIN!

After earlier season losses at the LAST SECOND to DENVER and DALLAS it was nice to see
The BILLS win one in dramatic fashion! In the VERY EMOTIONAL game to honor the memory of The Redskins SEAN TAYLOR, give full kudos to 1) THE BILLS 'D', 2) RIAN LINDELL and 3) TRENT EDWARDS! If the Bills can "squish the fish" this weekend it would set up a REAL playoff-type game in CLEVELAND on December 16th (both teams could have identical records-providing The JETS beat The Browns this weekend...root for THE JETS).

I'm waiting for the BILLS/EAGLES game December 30th...if The Bills win it would mark a sweep of last year's former teammates (beat RAVENS/Willis MacGahee, beat REDSKINS/London Fletcher, and EAGLES/Takeo Spikes)!

GO BILLS!!!

I'm sure Coach Jauron read my blog!

Thanks coach Jauron for reading my blog about JP being replaced (I'm sure that was his deciding factor). As the Coach says (and I'm sure the BILLS Organization agrees) we'll
MOVE ON.

How about them SABRES...5 in-a-row (keep it up and you'll be in the playoff hunt by next week). GO SABRES!!!

Does the Bell Toll for JP?

As agonizing as it was to watch The BILLS lose to New England, Sunday's Jacksonville game may have been WORSE. We all pretty much knew The Bills had a near nil chance to beat The Pats, but the with the Jags the Bills had a real chance to vault a team that would be in their way to make the playoffs and couldn't. Even though The Bills fought hard and were close in the 4th Quarter (8 points), in the end Bad penalties and JP's 2 interceptions and fumble sealed the deal for the Jags win. Could it be the end for JP? At least the SABRES seem to be turning their season around.

GO SABRES!

The BILLS: Doomed from the start...agony to watch

The only bright spots in the BILLS monumental LOSS to the Pats, KEVIN EVERETT'S
message to the crowd and ROSCOE PARRISH making a play on an under thrown pass from JP!
Even thought the City and Area played nicely in ABC'S promos and during the game, don't
expect to see the BILLS in another FLEX game or on National TV anytime soon!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Let the BILLS/PATRIOTS HYPE BEGIN!

I guess the BILLS could be considered a GOOD Team because the the old football saying goes
GOOD Teams find ways to WIN and BAD teams find ways to LOSE (Miami thus must be a
BAD Team)! Really quite a WIN in Miami for the Bills, looking less than "stunning" (the Offense anyway), but pulling out the WIN in the end! Do you think The SABRES could take a page out of the BILL book this season (don't play great for most of the game but win in the end)? To me, the more BILLS HYPE this week the better (if they can beat The PATS it should really turn some heads in the sports world)!

GO BILLS!!!

3-in- a row for THE BILLS!

Just an awesome game at the RALPH on Sunday and now the BILLS have won 3-in-a-row
(first time since 2004). Lots of HEROS; The "D," Marshawn Lych (153 yards rushing, and throwing a TD pass...what can you say about this guy, maybe "rookie of the year"), even the
JP/Lee Evans connections! It's ironic that the Team will play the "worst" team in the League
Miami (0-8), and then the BEST Team in the League The PATS 9-0 in the next two weeks (2 WINS would be incredible)!

GO BILLS!!!

Buffalo Sports Team's WEEKEND WINNERS!

Nice to see SABRES, BILLS and BULLS big weekend WINNERS! 2 Exciting come-from-behind
WINS in FLA for the SABRES, THE BILLS "D" not allowing 3 points for a road opponent in 17 years, and Turner Bill (UB BULLS Head Coach) has to receive some kind of Coach-Of-The-Year AWARD for really turning around the football program at UB in the big win over the
Akron Zips on Saturday!

SKI MAGAZINE'S 2008 TOP 50 RESORT GUIDE is on newsstands now and kudos to
HOLIDAY VALLEY receiving #5 in the magazine's TOP 10 RESORTS/EAST beating out the likes of Killington, Sugarbush, and Okemo VERMONT! I've often told other skiers that some
of the best skiing in North America is right here in WNY!

YEA the Bills didn't give another game away!

Were you, like me Sunday, waiting for the VERY LAST TICK of the clock hoping the BILLS
wouldn't "give another game away?" All ended right for the GOOD GUYS this time, and even
though Willis had a good game (long run/TD and over 100 yards rushing) we did spoil his
birthday party with the big WIN. It's on to the Meadowlands and a 4pm game with the
JETS this Sunday...can TRENT pull out another win? If you think about it if the BILLS had
won those "give away" games, Denver and Dallas, we'd be talking about a WILD CARD
playoff appearance about this time...either way GO BILLS!!!

The RIVALRY is back!

If you caught the SABRES/LEAFS game on Monday night you know one the greatest sports
rivalry's is alive and well in this young NHL season. I know many of you in the past have
complained about all the LEAFS fans at Sabres games...but I say "let 'em come" and after Monday night's THRILLER of a game I'm sure you would agree! If you thought the Sabres intensity might not be there this year (after losing the two co-captains in the off season), after
the OT win on Monday you now know that won't be the case (to me it was as thrilling a game
as the last 2 seasons combined)! If the Sabres continue playing like that (and on Versus TV
before a National audience) we're going to have another GREAT year!

GO SABRES!!!

Are you as emotionally DRAINED as I am?

Now I've watched ALL the "heartbreaker's", Superbowl XXV, The Motor City Miracle, even
the SEASON OPENER when DENVER won with NO TIME ON THE CLOCK, (and lest we forget THE SABRES 1999 Stanley Cup Finals--I know wrong sport)...but never have
I encountered a game like last night for the BILLS! Of course we all know the BILLS should
have never been even CLOSE to the big bad BOYS from Dallas who came in undefeated, but to
play a Defensive and Special Teams game FOR THE AGES and still lose with no time left will
be tuff to swallow for a while (thank goodness it's the BYE WEEK this weekend). There's really
not much more to say (especially if you were at or watched the GAME) except it's WILLIS and
The Baltimore Ravens next on October 21st.

I won't get started on the SABRES yet (until after a few more games)...but I WILL SAY
GO TRIBE!!!

HOW 'BOUT THEM BILLS!!

Coach Jauron said it best..."IT WAS A HECK OF A GAME!" I'll second that and after reading
last week's NFL STATS (BILLS Last in Total Offense and Defense) I really was wondering if the Team would win any games this year with all the injuries! Enter TRENT EDWARDS, the mature rookie QB, that looked yesterday he'd played many years in the NFL in engineering the BILLS first WIN (and that 4th down TD Pass to TE Mr. GAINES...has to be the PLAY OF THE YEAR)! Nice to see Lee Evans get more than 2 catches in a game, and Marshawn Lynch is the real deal at running back! Let's bring on the BOYS on Monday Night for all the world to see!

GO BILLS!!!

The BILLS: "it hurts"

In all my days following the BILLS (even back to the 60's) have I ever seen a team
devastated by injuries...that could have used ALL their healthy players this year to
be competitive! J.P. and Paul Posluszny's injuries, probably THE MOST hurtful (no pun intended), to the TEAM so far! I don't even want to be a Monday Morning Quarterback...just hoping the Team can keep it close in games the rest of the season. I did LOVE Trent Edwards'
first scoring drive as a PRO on Sunday (a thing of beauty)...GO BILLS!

Bills Offense is Offensive

The only bright spots in the BILLS loss to the Steelers was Bobby April's SPECIAL TEAMS
(he has the one CONSTANT good thing about the team) and that both MIAMI and THE JETS
lost too! JP didn't admit he played poorly (but he could have and SHOULD have) and can you
even have a ray of hope about this Sunday's game in New England...but, as always, we still say...GO BILLS (and we ARE looking forward to THE ICE BOWL on January 1st at The RALPH with the SABRES and PENGUINS)!

Pat Benatar said it best in her song HEARTBREAKER (for THE BILLS)!

I hope this won't be a TYPICAL LOSS for THE BILLS (15-14 in the home opener against the
Broncos). True BILLS Fans could almost see the ending coming, but with NO TIME on the
clock and the DENVER kicker Jason Elam already MISSING 2 FG attempts it was particularly
HEARTBREAKING! Do you think The PITTSBURGH STEELERS (who had a BIG WIN at
CLEVELAND on Sunday) will be ready for the BILLS in their HOME OPENER on SUNDAY?

GO BILLS!

Thank goodness it's only BILLS pre-season!

After Friday's game at the RALPH it looks like the BILLS still have a lot of "work to do" to get
ready for the DENVER BRONCOS and the NFL Season Opener on September 9th. Few bright spots during Friday's loss to TENNESSEE, and much like last year tough to RUN and tougher still to STOP the RUN. It appears to me the only way the Team will have success is to rely on AIR LOSMAN, some of his long BOMBS (like to Lee Evans) were the only BRIGHT spots in
pre-season game #3. The LAST pre-season game happens on THURSDAY in Detroit (7pm on Channel 7) and usually the last pre-season game doesn't have the "1st Team" in for long. We'll break it down on Friday...GO BILLS

BILLS break camp and get ready for pre-season Game 3

The BILLS have "broken" training camp and now officially get set for pre-season game #3 at
The RALPH on Friday (Kids Night) against the Tennessee Titans. It was sad so see RYAN DENNEY go down last week with a broken left foot during the ATLANTA game, and with Anthony Hargrove out for the first 4 games of the regular season the team was THIN (to say the least) at defensive end (to back up Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay). We have learned (just today) that the Team has signed AL WALLACE who was on the Carolina Panthers for the past 5 seasons (and he never missed a game and recorded 17 sacks while with the Panthers)! Friday's game should see a little more of the "starters" and hopefully the offence will get some more points on the (new) scoreboard. GO BILLS!

I know it's only BILLS preseason but...

I was happy to see plenty of positives in the BILLS first preseason game in New Orleans on
national TV the other night! Going in there were plenty of "questions" on the Defence but after all the smoke cleared (and a WIN at that) they didn't look at all bad. I LOVED new #51 Paul P.'s SACK ( it looked to me like a pro-bowl type play) and Jabari Greer's interception in the end zone was a big plus. Assistant head coach and Special Team's wizard BOBBY APRIL'S special teams didn't miss a beat from last year and it should set up an interesting preseason Game 2 against the Michael Vick-less Atlanta Falcons on Friday night.

A Movie Review from your "non-movie goer"

As I mentioned in my last BLOG I'm not a "movie goer" but am enthralled by the BOURNE
(MattDamon) series' IDENTITY and SUPREMACY. Last night I was able (thanks to Lenore at
Allied) to catch the preview of the newest installment THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM and can't recommend it highly enough! I don't think I've ever seen a movie with more ACTION right from the beginning, and if you're a fan of the other movies in the series this new movie ties up
the loose ends very nicely (and even opens the door for ANOTHER movie in the series). Wonderful world locations from London, England to Turin, Italy, Tanger, Morocco, to one of the most exciting car chase/crashes in Manhattan I've ever witnessed...if you love the "Action Movie" you don't want miss this one...THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM starts Friday August 3rd.

Matt Damon's new movie The BOURNE ULTIMATUM

I must admit I'm not a big "movie goer" but in the last year I've been intrigued by the movie series with Matt Damon THE BOURNE IDENTITY and THE BOURNE SUPREMECAY. Matt's newest installment in the series, based on the novel by Robert Ludlum, THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM will hit theatres on Augustg 3rd and I literally can't wait! If you're not familiar with the plot, Matt's character JASON BOURNE is a CIA amnesia-suffering agent/assassin who is trying to find his true identity that takes him (in the first two movies) to exotic destinations in France, Germany and Russia. I highly suggest if you love suspense movies, with car chases/crashes in Paris, Berlin, and Moscow, check out these first two "BOURNE " movies and get set for the newest BOURNE ULTIMATUM the first weekend in August.

Thanks again to all who attended STARRY NIGHT IN THE GARDEN

Let me again thank all who attended what was a "magical" night at
Wednesday's STARRY NIGHT IN THE GARDEN! Thanks also to our music
acts, SCOTT CELANI BAND, upcoming Superstar JON McLAUGHLIN, and
KEVIN & DAVE from REO SPEEDWAGON who may have actually enjoyed the
event more than you, the fans! We'll have pictures of the event our our website, and
a final tally of money raised to benefit the beautiful Buffalo and Erie County Botanical
Gardens...see you next year!

Busy BON JOVI

Not only have JON and the boys just released their new LOST HIGHWAY CD but will re-launch MTV's UNPLUGGED on Friday at 8pm on MTV, Saturday June 23rd at 9pm (and June 24th on CMT). The Band will also play at the Vh1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION'S 10th ANNIVERSARY GALA on September 20th at Lincoln Center in NYC (the Gala will honor Bill and Hiliary Clinton and their contributions to the Foundation). Bon Jovi will also OPEN/play the new PRUDENTIAL CENTER ARENA ("THE ROCK") in Newark, NJ on October 25th and will also play shows there on 10/26, 10/28, 10/30, 11/1, 11/7, 11/9, 11/10 and 11/14. That's a busy schedule!

For JOURNEY/Steve Perry fans

You've undoubtedly heard about Journey's DON'T STOP BELIVIN' being featured
in The Sopranos series finale but did you know that ex-lead singer STEVE PERRY
wouldn't allow producers to use the song unless they told him the ending before the
show aired! Well the Producers did trust him and told Steve (and he DID keep the
secret).

In other Journey news, the band has announced they've parted ways with lead singer
JEFF SCOTT SOTO who'd been filling in for STEVE AUGERI (who had to leave last year due to illness). NEAL SCHON said about Jeff's leaving "We've just decided to go our separate ways
(no pun intended). We're plotting our next move now!" The Band also announced they'll be
taking the rest of 2007 OFF (but are planning now for 2008). 2008 is the 30th anniversary
of STEVE PERRY originally joining the Band, wouldn't it be cool if they put aside their
differences and had STEVE re-join JOURNEY for next year (just a thought).

Congrats to THE DUCKS!

Hockey is OVER for another year, and a big CONGRATS to The Anaheim Ducks on their
Stanley Cup Victory (especially to Todd Marchant, Brad MAY DAY May, and Ryan's
brother Derek Miller who get their names engraved on the CUP)!

The BEST part of the series for me though was not the Hockey but the ANTHEM'S sung by ALANIS MORISSETTE at her "home rink" in OTTAWA at Monday night's game. Not only did she sing the CANADIAN Anthem in English and FRANCAIS but a great job on the US anthem too. I think she is the COOLEST rocker there is.

Reasons I'm rooting for THE DUCKS

Plenty of reasons I'm rooting for the Anaheim Ducks to win the Stanley Cup...
Long time Sabre Brad MAY DAY May, Williamsville native TODD MARCHANT (I still
go to his local barber...but don't hold that against me), and of course #30 Buffalo Sabres
RYAN MILLER'S brother DREW MILLER just called up from The Providence Bruins of the
AHL (and did a great job in the Ducks win in game 1 of the Finals on Monday). I would be a
little sad if DREW got his name on the Cup before RYAN (although I don't think RYAN would
mind).

Go Ducks (for this series ONLY...really still GO SABRES)!

THANK YOU SABRES!

When most of the dust has settled after last Saturday's LOSS, I have to reflect back to what Hockey Hall Of Fame writer JIM KELLY said "we may never see a season like this past one!"

It should be a very interesting off-season with so many players' contracts UP, and remember
THE COACH and GM'S contracts are up too!

THANKS AGAIN SABRES!!

SABRES STILL ALIVE!

Will it be like the BOSTON RED SOX of a few years ago, or just putting off the inevitable with
last night's SABRES Win? I'm sure NBC (and WGRZ/Channel 2) is happy they'll have a game on Saturday afternoon at 2pm (and Hockey Night in Canada's DON CHERRY will be part of the
NBC Broadcast talking about Buffalo as a GREAT Hockey town). Here's a sobering thought from CBC...in the MODERN Hockey era in years that end in 7 either DETROIT or a CANADIAN Team has won the Stanley Cup!

Still...GO SABRES!!!

I'm guessing you really have SABRES FEVER now!

I know, my prediction of beating the 3 NYC area teams to advance to the CUP Finals was a little off, but I'm sure you'll agree that to beat OTTAWA (Again) to get to the FINALS is very tasty!

I had to laugh when a producer (from out sister station) called The CBC to see about The SABRES being broadcast on CBC (or CBLT officially) before the Islander's series they in effect told him WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN SHOWING ANY SABRES GAMES (and they went on to broadcast the NJ Devils/Tampa Bay Lightning on the nights a Canadian Team didn't play...and NEVER showed any SABRES/RANGERS games). CBC will now broadcast EVERY Sabres game from now on (even when we WIN THE CUP)!!

GO SABRES!!!

BUFFALO BILL DRAFT PICKS

Certainly with The SABRES dominating the sports headlines, I've got to give
kudos to THE BILLS and their picks in the NFL Draft this past weekend. It looks like
MARSHAWN LYNCH the running back from CAL and PAUL POSLUSZNY (puhs-LUHZ'-nee...we'll all be saying his name PERFECTLY by opening day) linebacker from PENN STATE will be able to make an immediate impact by opening day September 9th If all goes according to plan we'll have forgetten WILLIS MaGAHEE and TAKEO SPIKES/LONDON FLETCHER-BAKER by mid-season and be talking about THE LYNCH PIN and the NEW SHANE CONLAN. The BILLS 3rd Pick QB TRENT EDWARDS from STANFORD is leaving some fans scratching their collective heads wondering why the team didn't address needs like cornerback and another linebacker but hopefully TRENT'S pick will work out too (you know the old saying though HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS 20/20).

Still...GO SABRES!

SABRES SHAPING UP (as predicted)

If you read my April 9th BLOG The SABRES playoff series is shaping up nicely (beating The Isles, Rangers, Devils and DOMINIC in the CUP Finals...still NO JINXING here).

It was nice to see (almost a "crying moment"...but I would have done that anyway to keep my
eyes hydrated) Mike Greer of The SAN JOSE SHARKS last week after his Team eliminated NASHVILLE to advance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the camera followed him in the traditional shaking of hands (quickly and gingerly) with members of The Predators until he reached J.P. DUMONT of Nashville and they hugged (with real sincerity) and spoke for a while (of course both being last year's SABRES). Nice to see former teammates still sort of like family.

Are the SABRES overshadowing the BILLS DRAFT this weekend (more on that upcoming)?

SPORTS FATE or just coincidence?

There's no one more STAR STRUCK than I am...once at a convention in Los Angeles I was with my brother at LAX airport and I would kid him every time someone would come down the
escalator that would look like a celebrity, I would tell him LOOK THAT'S CHER or THAT'S JOHNNY CARSON, until JOHNNY CARSON did in fact come down the escalator with his wife
on his way to Europe on vacation. It was like a "cry wolf" until JOHNNY got close enough for
my brother to confirm it WAS actually JOHNNY CARSON.

Yesterday while in FUDDRUCKERS (not a Shameless plug, although it COULD BE) I saw
BUFFALO BILLS Special Teams Ace STEVE TASKER (#89-and the ONLY Special Teams player and Buffalo Bill to be named MVP at a PRO BOWL) come in to dine! A few minutes later, to my surprise, BILLS/NFL HALL OF FAMER #12 JIM KELLY came (and JIM and STEVE weren't dining together). I so wanted to go to the CASINO and bet number 89 or 12 on the Roulette table, but realized I DON'T BET!

By the way, FUDDRUCKERS is a great place to see STARS...I once dined 1 booth away from
SABRES #12 ALES KOTALIK just after he got back from the Olympics! Please let me know if there's a place around town where you see celebrities...I'll be there!

My DREAM matchups for the SABRES 1st STANLEY CUP

Now that SABRES FEVER has taken firm hold of WNY my DREAM
matchups for the 1st STANLEY CUP for Buffalo would have been
beating TORONTO or MONTREAL in the first round, OTTAWA in the 2nd round, and NJ DEVILS to advance to beat DOMINIC HASEK and
The DETROIT RED WINGS. Now that Toronto and Montreal are OUT how about this DREAM scenario (that is VERY POSSIBLE)...SABRES BEAT ALL the NYC Area TEAMS...NY Islanders in the first round, NY Rangers in the 2nd round (if they beat ATLANTA the Sabres WOULD play the Rangers in the 2nd round), and NJ DEVILS for the EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, then of course Dominic Hasek and The Detroit Red Wings to win the CUP (it's your CINDERELLA story for the BUFFALO SABRES 1st STANLEY CUP)!

GO SABRES!!!

The STANLEY CUP FINALS GO THROUGH BUFFALO!

Congrats to the SABRES for clinching The Northeast Division AND EASTERN CONFERENCE
last night! If you didn't know, the last time the Team won the EASTERN CONFERENCE was back in 79/80 when SCOTTY BOWMAN coached #22 LINDY RUFF! It's interesting too that
last year's Stanley Cup finalists CAROLINA and EDMONTON won't make the playoffs this
year for the first time in NHL history that the previous year's final two teams didn't make the playoffs the following year !

Again...GO SABRES!!!

Some BILLS news

It's interesting that with the departure of TAKEO SPIKES and KELLY HOLCOMB to the EAGLES and earlier WILLIS McGAHEE to the RAVENS the BILLS will play both PHILADELPHIA and BALTIMORE
in the upcoming season. The OFFICIAL Bills schedule will be announced in the next couple of weeks and the upcoming DRAFT
should be VERY INTERESTING with so many open positions on the team.

SABRES MANIA!

First let me congratulate the Buffalo Sabres for being the FIRST (and still the only) NHL
Team to CLINCH a playoff berth! This year will certainly eclipse the 1999 Stanley Cup Final
Mania the Team enjoyed...you couldn't drive anywhere in WNY without seeing those SABRE
FLAGS on vehicles. This year you can't go anywhere without seeing people wearing their
NEW Sabre logo attire (a BRILLIANT job of marketing by the Team)...and just today we find out that there are no more PLAYOFF tickets available!

GO SABRES!!

PAULA ABDUL'S GREATEST HITS CD due on May 8th

With all the BAD RAP that PAULA ABDUL gets with her American Idol
exploits many forget that Paula was probably the hottest music artist
on the planet in the late 80's and early 90's. Her debut FOREVER YOUR GIRL
CD produced 4 #1 hits (STRAIGHT UP, FOREVER YOUR GIRL, COLD HEARTED, and
OPPOSITES ATTRACT) and a Top 3 THE WAY THAT YOU LOVE ME. If you were a
MUSIC fan of hers get the Greatest Hits CD due out on May 8th.

Apologies to #9 and #15

It seems Sabres' Derek Roy DID OFFER newest SABRE Dainius Zubrus his #9 jersey number
(the same Dainius wore in Washington) FOR NOTHING but Zubrus DECLINED (saying in effect "are you kidding me, you've been here there's no way I would take it")! Dainius will wear the #15 he wore when he was in Montreal...it's nice to see EVERYONE'S a NICE GUY is this outcome (GO SABRES and new #15)

BREAKING NEWS--DAINIUS ZUBRUS will wear #15

Watch for NEW Buffalo Sabre DAINIUS ZUBRUS to wear #15...he wore #9 in Washington but
Derek Roy wears #9 already (I was hoping to see Dainius to be like Roger Clemens of Major League Baseball or some NFL players that come to new teams and want their old number they "bribe" the current player with a Rolex watch or huge amounts of CA$H to switch...but that dosen't look like the case here).

I feel "really good" about the Sabres Trades and their PUSH FOR THE CUP this year. We are all SAD/GLAD to see Marty Biron go to Philly, but he'll be back in the Summer's like Michael Peca and Matthew Barnaby.

What a great game against Toronto and the 6-1 WIN even without Daniel Briere! It's hope against hope this is the SABRES STANLEY CUP YEAR (but I can't say this on the air because of the JINX Factor).

HOORAY FOR KELLY!

Kelly Clarkson says she has NO PLANS to shave her head like Britney Spears...Kelly says "well, she's still hot, whatever...if you can pull that off, go for it. I like my hair, I'm keeping it, That's crazy."

The people at ESTHER'S HAIR CUTTING STUDIO are no fools, they saved Britney's hair (after she cut it off last Friday) and they are going to
sell it for a starting bid of just $ 1 MILLION! Not only will you get Britney's hair but also a partially consumed can of RED BULL and a
BIC lighter that Britney left behind as well as the actual CLIPPERS used to do the deed! just go to www.buybritneyshair.com to make your bid, please bid high and often!

BRITNEY'S BALD!

Did it rock your world that BREINEY SPEARS shaved her head?!

I love what KELLY CLARKSON said..."she's Britney Spears, it will end up being cool...she's still hot." Kelly my advice to you, don't shave YOUR
head just yet!

GRAMMY Fallout

I think RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' drummer ANTHONY KIEDIS put it
best after the GRAMMY'S..."I was shocked The Dixie Chicks didn't win
BEST RAP RECORD" (they won everything else...5 GRAMMYS in all the categories the were nominated in). All in all I thought it was a "slickly"
produced show but a little "ho-hum."

THANKS!

A Big THANK YOU to all who attended our 2nd Annual WORLD'S
BIGGEST 80's PARTY last Friday at CLUB INFINITY. I haven't seen
so much BIG HAIR in a long time.

Did you think AMERICAN IDOL'S popularity is falling? Last Wednesday's show had more viewers than the next 3 networks COMBINED!

Well it's Super Bowl week, have you picked a WINNER or do you just
watch for the commercials (because the BILLS aren't in it)?

I'd love to hear from you.

Roger

World's Biggest 80's Party

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at THE WORLD'S BIGGEST 8O's Party on Friday night (1/26) at CLUB INFINITY, Main Street,
in Williamsville! ROB BASE and D.J. E-Z ROCK (the guys from NYC
that brought us IT TAKES TWO and JOY & PAIN) will be LIVE on stage
and DJ's PAUL FOXE and DONNY RAZOR will join me in the DJ Booth!
It kicks off at 7pm and if you remember clubs like The Pierce Arrow, Uncle Sams, and Yellow Jaguar you'll be right at home. You can get tickets through the Club Infinity Box Office (565-0110) or tickets.com/Tops Markets. Hope to see you on Friday night!
