If you polled a bunch of fans and asked for their favorite Bobby Brown song I’m confident “My Prerogative” or “Every Little Step I take” would top most lists. While I appreciate both tunes and particularly the latter, my choice would be neither. “Don’t Be Cruel” may not have been Browns’s biggest hit off his … Read More
Happy Derek Jeter Day, ya’ll. The New York Yankees retire Jeter’s No. 2 tonight before the Yanks take on Houston at the Stadium. The festivities will be televised on ESPN. In honor of tonight’s historic event, check out some of Jeter’s career highlights on this montage I found on Youtube, originally posted by Colin Fitzgerald.
It’s entirely possible Hall & Oates may be my favorite pop group of the 80s era, although Huey Lewis & The News may have something to say about that. A significant part of the pop music fabric, Hall and Oates’ music was many things to me growing up, and the simple word “fun” resides at … Read More
Good morning and happy Friday, WWE Universe. Let’s watch six-man tag team action as the Bushwackers and Tugboat take on The Nasty Boys with Earthquake in 1991. In this match the dastardly Tugboat turned heel on his partners. He’d go on to build a formidable team with Earthquake, managed by Jimmy Hart.
One of the worst kept secrets in recent Buffalo sports memory became official Thursday as the Buffalo Sabres announced the appointment of Jason Botterill as the team’s general manager. A press conference is scheduled for 4pm today. The announcement had to wait until the conclusion of the Pittsburgh Penguins/Washington Capitals playoff series. He takes over … Read More

At least for me, it’s cool to recreate many Monday nights I evidently didn’t recall as easily as I … Read More
The adult me absolutely hates the spirit of “Keep On Loving You” by REO Speedwagon. The band’s lead singer, Kevin Cronin wrote the song as a response to finding out his scandalous fiancé was cheating on him prior to their marriage. Rather than kick the cheating bitch to the curb, Cronin writes he’ll keep loving … Read More
Good morning and happy Thursday, WWE Universe. Let’s watch The Brooklyn Brawler, accompanied by manager Bobby Heenan wrestle (and job to) The Red Rooster in 1989. It’s odd to see Heenan, one of the greatest managers of all-time bin the corner of Lombardi, the ultimate jobber. As an aside, does anyone remember Ronnie Garvin as … Read More
What was pretty much expected became official on Tuesday when the Buffalo Bills announced the hiring of Brandon Beane as the team’s 13th general manager. He’ll be introduced by the team at a news conference Friday morning. Beane, 40, had spent the past 19 years with the Carolina Panthers, including the past six with new … Read More
I love me a good power ballad, and “The Search Is Over” was easily one of my favs of the 80s era. More on the song in a minute, but first let’s talk about Survivor. People rarely mention them discussing great rock and roll groups of the 80s, and that’s a shame. Survivor was a … Read More
