Every NFL head coach and general manager hopes they don’t have an Adolphus Washington on their team. As a team prepares for training camp and the mental/physical grind of a regular season the last thing they need, literally is a moron getting himself arrested off the field. Unfortunately for Buffalo Adolphus Washington was doing Adolphus … Read More
There’s a plethora of British music groups from the 80’s who dropped a chart topper before seemingly disappearing forever, but merely a handful where that one-hit wonder truly stands the test of time. In my opinion, Dexys Midnite Runners are one of them. Come On Eileen is one of the most known and appreciated ditties of … Read More
I can’t lie to ya’ll—there’s few songs from this decade, or any other that pump me up harder than this Sir Kenny Loggins jam. It’s literally on my CD of car jams blasted at peak volume with the windows rolled down. By the way— did I just write “Sir” Kenny Loggins? Yes, I most certainly … Read More
I’d be a liar if I tried passing myself off as a rabid Van Halen fan from day one. With the exception of Running With The Devil (a great song) off their self-titled debut album in 1978, I’m not sure I heard of any song off their first four LPs, and if I did I … Read More

The song, co-written by Mike Chapman and Holly Knight was penned for Benatar. However, the intention of its premise compared to how you’d ultimately hear it on the radio is … Read More
Fortunately for lovers of the classic gospel-style power ballad, Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones was a big-time insomniac and lead signer Lou Gramm didn’t prevail in every band argument. As the story goes, following the release of their huge hit album “4” in 1981, the band found themselves with a lot of time to write. Generally … Read More
YANKEES: Obviously, it’s hard to win games when nothing goes right.The Yankees’ offense drew four walks in the first couple innings against Astros’ starter Mike Fiers. By the time they did get on the board, it was far too late. Luis Severino only walked one batter himself. He also allowed nine hits, giving up six … Read More
As expected, the Buffalo Sabres got busy immediately as free agency started Saturday with a flurry of signings, although none are considered “splashy”. The top name coming to Buffalo is goaltender Chad Johnson, who’s returning to the club on a one-year, $2.5 million deal. Johnson had one of his best seasons with the Sabres in … Read More
