Jets coach=Freak

Jets coach Rex Ryan responds about a foot fetish video involving he and his wife. Ryan usually doesn't go two weeks without saying or doing something stupid. His father Buddy Ryan was famous for putting a bounty on an opposing player and punching assistant coach Kevin Gilbride in the face. Ryan also released future Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Chris Carter saying, "all he does is catch touchdowns."

In a story unrelated to Ryan's foot fetish, the Jets this week signed three kickers and five punters...


The Chicago Tribune printed this story on Ryan in the shape of a foot...

The Angola horror

No, we're not talking about the women wearing bathing suits at Wendt Beach in the summer. Rich Kellman at channel 2 did an interesting story on a train crash 143 years ago in Angola. The trains were wooden and heated by coal burning stones. More than 40 people died after the trains fell into a gorge...

Jimmy McMillan

From WIVB: Crazy Jimmy McMillan is running for President. I'm sure it's just a ploy to sell more t-shirts and maybe a few of his trademarked black gloves. It's got to be easier than going out and getting a job, I guess.

Christmas mayhem

A masked gunman robs a bank. A customer follows him out of the bank and fires 4-6 shots at him with his gun. The whole thing is witnessed by a creepy looking man, who doubles as an Eastern Hills Mall's Santa Claus. No, this is not the script of an old Richard Pryor movie. It actually happened today out in Amherst.

Crazy free throw

Funnier than the free throw itself are all the conspiracy theories and scientific explanations that follow underneath the story. Funniest of all might be the gay Idaho State fan dressed as superman in the stands...

97 Rock listeners save Christmas

97 Rock appealed to it's listeners to donate toys to a Buffalo group that had all of their presents stolen last week. The listeners rosponded and the members of the group F.A.T.H.E.R.S. seemed genuinely grateful for their act of kindness. To me, it's a good group because they are trying to keep families together and be accountable in their kids' lives.

I'd been willing to donate if 97 Rock agreed to change their play list a little bit. I mean, I like Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones too, but after hearing the same songs for 35 years? However, they did do one good thing recently, and that was bringing back South Buffalo's Slick Tom Tiberi. Tiberi is one of the only truly funny guys in local radio (most of the others are posers) and has the best sound effects. Here is the story from Channel 7...

Letter to the editor-Political castoffs at Thruway Authority

This letter writer in today's Buffalo News raises some serious questions about the political hacks at the New York State Thruway Authority...

More Questions remain on Thruway Authority

Now that the Thruway Authority spokesmen have answered many of the questions about the recent storm, perhaps we should ask them to answer some additional questions. How many members are there?Who are they? What qualifications are required?Who appointed them?How much do they get paid?How often do they meet?How long is their term of service?

Perhaps in this difficult economy, we should ask these questions of every board, commission and agency at the local, county and state level. I suspect that many of these appointees are simply part of the “business as usual, payoffs and good-ole boy network.”
