In 1927, #Buffalo planned one of the largest sports arenas in the country - the Buffalo Forum. 🏒🦬 Designed by H.E. Plumer & Associates, the arena was planned to seat 10,500 for hockey and was described as a “duplicate of Madison Square Garden.”

@ByTimGraham Nice job with Bob Koshinski. Entertaining interview! facebook.com/reel/153080518…

Didn't have a Dahlin Gordie Howe hat trick on my bingo card! If Carrick or Raddysh had an assist, it would have been only the 2nd time in NHL history that three players in one game hit the trifecta. Sabres and Bennie Hogue versus the Islanders back in the day.

@thebrettjames1 Appreciate your enthusiasm and sense of humor. Tough loss to take. Tough to be a fan of anything. Been there many times.

The Jags will destroy the Bills on Sunday

Dang. I’d love to play the Jets in the playoffs but if the playoffs are anything like the regular season, I’m sure the Patriots will get the Jets.

Budd Bailey @WDX2BB Christmas gift from my son. Good stuff! Lots of memories in that book including my first ever game attending - Monday Night versus Kansas City 1973. Juice hits 1,000 yards after only 7 games. Recommend this to all Bills' fans!

52 years ago, Santa Claus refereed the game between the Boston Celtics and the Buffalo Braves. #MerryChristmas #DifferentHere

@UberHansen 1972 Miami Dolphins? Didn't play any playoff teams that year and only two games were against teams with winning records.

If the #Patriots beat the Giants tonight they will be in sole possession of the #1 seed in the AFC. They will have achieved that with an SOV of .343. Since 2013 there has only been one other team with an SOV below .400 to win the #1 seed. The '20 Packers (.387)

@BlasterRubicon Awesome. I was there. So much fun. Wish I still had my stub.

#OTD in 1977 Rich Stadium hosts Buffalo's 2nd Superfest. Blue Oyster Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd (four months before the plane crash), Ted Nugent, and Starz play to 28,000 fans. Just like MNF 1974, a fan ventured across the guywire.

@rachelmlenzi Froese lived in Buffalo for a bunch of years. Not sure if he’s still here or not. If he moved, it would have been in the past two years.

It's Beer Sabre night at KeyBank Center ... but, to paraphrase former New York Rangers goalie Bob Froese, it's a good thing it isn't machete night.

@JohnBisciJr @ByMHarrington @BuffSportsHall Of course they did, as well as all of the other past inductees who passed away this past year. They have a tribute every year for them.

@ByMHarrington @BuffSportsHstry @BuffSportsHall I hope they remembered inductee Art Clark, who died last month.

It’s a big night for the ⁦@BuffSportsHall⁩ Class of 2025.

Not sure why I’m thinking this but I get the feeling we’re in for a Bill Mazeroski moment tonight. If not that, then a Dodger top 9 homer. Baseball is due.

@tjmaj59 @VintageBills Bills quarterback and future Raiders coach Tom Flores.

@VintageBills Do you know who is in the photo with him?

Did You Know❓ 4 time AFL All-Star TE Ernie Warlick became the first African-American sportscaster on Buffalo television after his retirement from the Bills. "Big Hoss" was elected to the Buffalo Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 1998. #BillsMafia
