A sign of the times!

London, England's UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM is offering a Masters Degree in Facebook and Twitter. The Course teaches students how to set up blogs and podcasts and also how to use the sites in communications and marketing.

Could this be today's version of a course we used to call "basket weaving?"

I say LET 'EM PLAY!

I don't know if this FEAR has been media driven, but I say (like Erie County Executive CHRIS COLLINS) let the Bills play another HOME game in Toronto...especially if it means the Team would move out of the area altogether. Collins accurately points out that any more games played at the "out-dated" Rogers Center would require Toronto to build a new stadium at a cost of upwards of $1 BILLION (not likely). I think T.O. set it up perfectly when he said at his introduction press conference "I'm going from America's Team, to North America's Team!"

You can't say he's still not relevant!

Last week Michael Jackson literally sold-out all 50 upcoming concerts at London's O2 Arena for his THIS IS IT Tour. The shows will go July 8th-September 29th and January 7th through February 24th next year. 750,000 tickets sold in just 5 hours (that's 11 TICKETS PER SECOND), some going for as much as $14,000 a ticket on eBay!

T.O. to Buffalo!

Now I've been around the BILLS for a long time (even acting as executive radio producer when our sister station WBEN broadcast the Bills back in 1979-1980 with Van Miller and the late-great Stan Barron) but NEVER have I seen the Team make such a "splash" in the league as they did last Saturday evening! By now everyone has an opinion about T.O. coming to Buffalo, but after last week's release of the Cowboys #81 when all the national TV sports programs covered his story ad nauseaum, it's nice to imagine that all that emphasis will focus on Buffalo at least through training camp (and probably beyond). You can't argue that T.O. won't bring (like the Rod Stewart song) PASSION to the Bills, something the team has sorely lacked for many years and if we get any National TV games this year you can surely credit T.O. for the network's interest.

#81 on the Bills already belongs to James Hardy, maybe T.O. will do like many baseball players used to do to get "their number" when they moved to a new team (ie. Roger Clemens) and buy James a new ROLEX watch to give up his number .
