It’s Casual Friday on Talking Buffalo Podcast, which means Patrick Moran is joined by Noted Hockey author and Maintenance Day podcaster Joe Yerdon to discuss several topics, including the Buffalo Bills 53-man roster, Matt Araiza not being on it, Tage Thompson cashing in with the Buffalo Sabres and this week’s “Starting Five” draft of Best Sopranos Supporting Characters.

There was no huge surprises but a few minor ones with the Bills final cuts and the guys discuss them, including highlighting a few guys who made the team based on their strong preseason play. They also have a few leftover opinions on the Matt Araiza situation.

On the Sabres side, Tage Thompson signed a seven-year, $50 million extension and the guys gage the fans divided reaction and have some of their own. They also talk about Buffalo going back to the black and red uniforms for 12 games this season.

That plus this week’s draft of the best Sopranos supporting characters and much more!
