i think this belongs in a relatively small museum of times when anti-woke sentiment is basically right the horrible dictatorship with the most memorable propaganda broadcasts in our era is asian. like, it just is. it's not racist to make fun of that government and it's dumb to suggest it is

4-1 WIN AGAINST THE SECOND BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE ON THE ROAD ON NEW YEARS EVE WARPATH

Saw 60 2025 releases (or what qualifies as a new release to me). Pretty good year, all things considered. 60: Fear Street: Prom Queen 59: Opus 58: The Alto Knights 57: Jurassic World: Rebirth 56: I Know What You Did Last Summer 55: Until Dawn 54: Five Nights at Freddy's 2 53: Holiday Touchdown

I write something about what's on my mind at the end of every year. This year, I wrote about trying to take back my free time: thehungrydogblog.wordpress.com/2025/12/31/t...

The 2024-25 Buffalo Sabres won their 20th game on Jan. 31.

The absolute last thing I'll say on this (for now) is the winners are people who experience wins and losses with the company of like-minded fans (family/friend/strangers) and the losers are those that watch alone, unable to even enjoy a 13-point road lead against an 11-4 team as defending champs.

The bummer part about this for Buffalo is the defense is putting the CLAMPS on Hurts

Same here, Aaron

everyone knows that brandon beane went on public radio this year to call people stupid for wanting him to get a real receiver, but i think people forget the crux of his argument being that he instead “fixed the defense”

Good lord almighty, imagine whining like this up two scores on the road with the division clinched as defending champions. Whoever decided Philly sports fans were interesting 10 years ago should be in prison.

Josh Allen got sacked 14 times in 2024. Which is wild, considering he's been sacked at least 14 times every game this year.

"Is Ukko Pekka Luukkonen Good" - the greatest thread in the history of the buffalo sabres, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

So glad I’ve never given up on the Sabres (looks over both shoulders)

The Sabres just bought me flowers from a gas station. They’re sorry they yelled at me, they’re just under a lot of pressure at work. They want another chance. My mother told me to hang up the phone.

Warpath?

Incredibly heartening to see theatres packed for Marty Supreme yesterday. An incredible film and final, undeniable proof we finally have a real deal movie star born after 1975.

will acknowledge that i'm a hater on this topic but good lord nobody in music swears in a shittier less convincing way than taylor swift. every time she tries it i wince

And the Kansas City Chiefs, who were NOT in the playoffs,

Cool glass I had at Rohall's yesterday

This is a question I had in 2021. Perhaps, as a sitting Senator in the party that had a majority at the time, you could've said this when there was even a chance it would've made a difference.

This was a hell of a lunchtime read. I can’t imagine the mental and physical pain Jordan Poyer has been through. It’s understandably shaped his life and worldview. The man has thoughts. Lots of thoughts.

Bowen Yang's SNL run mostly reminds me of late-career Russell Westbrook in that he's not really good at anything, but he'll be involved more than he should be and you will be forced to notice him.

What's interesting is this season comes immediately on the heels of the period of the least parity of the 21st Century. Not really sure how this happened.

Incredible that the Sabres are simultaneously: - on a six-game win streak - still 14th in the East - only three points out of a playoff spot - five points back (with a game in hand) of having home ice advantage in the first round - three points ahead of the Leafs, who are last in the Atlantic btw

Hey, they're above .500! Still tied for last in the East, but also 5 points put of a playoff spot with a game in hand. Baby steps.

I've long argued NFL owners should throw billions of dollars away, simultaneously killing whatever parity is created by the existing draft system, with no hope of financial gain and they're not listening to me!

Something I haven't heard mentioned this week about our good pal, Josh Allen: he recently passed Joe Montana in total career touchdowns. He needs one more for 300 and four to tie Johnny Unitas.

A disgrace

Was Kevyn Adams a good GM? Ultimately, no. But did serve in his role with professionalism and accountability, setting an example and a standard for the team and organization to follow? Also no.

The nicest thing you can say about Kevyn is he did slightly better then the two preceding bozos, despite being the least qualified GM in North American sports. Despite that, he'll be remembered as far more of a villain than any of them, and rightly so.

so long Kevyn: people will say a lot of mean thing about you but in your defense you were a bit player on one of the biggest villain opponent teams in buffalo sports history. what’s more, you slandered the entire region that you grew up in publicly because of your own professional shortcomings

A cynical world

in the moment i was totally calm, both 1st and 2nd halves but the thought did cross my mind “this is an all time comeback” and it just feels routine with Allen

Can't get over what a good win this was. Down 21 on the road against a team that had won 10 in a row. Josh Allen puking his brains out. No one open. Five straight touchdown drives and a few key stops.

The Buffalo Bills remain the only team to appear in 4 straight Super Bowls!!

I want there to be a really quiet drive home today for a car full of Patriot fans and a little kid in the back seat asks his dad if he can have a Josh Allen jersey for Christmas and the dad gets so mad he has to pull over and get out of the car.

With this 7-yard touchdown pass to Josh Downs, 44yo Philip Rivers becomes the weirdest man ever to throw for a touchdown in a NFL game.

Seasons with 8 or more losses: Josh Allen: zero Patrick Mahomes: 1

Set a goal this year to read 10 books, lose 20 pounds, and see 50 new films (2025 releases). I'm getting up near 60 films and just finished my 10th book of the year last night. As for the other goal? Well, that's personal.

I've enjoyed a lot of Pablo Torre's work over the years, but I've never been as impressed by anything as by his restraint this week to not get up and punch Nick Wright in his formidable schnoz.

I’m gonna need Lindy to blow a gasket about this stuff one night and tonight might be it

Not so fun fact: this is the 150th game in a row the Sabres have lost a goal due to a challenge.

I had a dream a few months ago that Peyton Manning came back and was playing pretty well, so I guess you could say i called this Rivers thing (I didn't)

Fun fact about the Cosell/Lennon clip they just showed, John Smith misses that kick for New England and the Pats lose in OT. It ended up costing them the division to the Bills.
