First impressions of the Bills in a meaningless game

Yeah, Tuesday is a little late for a recap of Sunday’s Hall of Fame Game.

So what? The Bills were off on Monday. So was I.

Here are a few things I picked up watching the game (when the feed was coming through during that insane thunderstorm, at least):

• Still a little weird seeing WR Terrell Owens in a Bills uni. But, damn, he looked good in those Bills colors. Owens caught two passes on Buffalo’s opening drive. That’s good enough for me.
• The rookie that stuck out most (in positive ways): LB Nic Harris. Showed good speed, good instinct. I’m a fan so far. TE Shawn Nelson didn’t look too bad either.
  

Sabres sign Mike Grier

Wait, what?!?

That’s right, Sabres fans, the man who helped lead the exodus of talent from our beloved Buffalo hockey team is coming back.

Today, the Sabres announced they have signed unrestricted free agent Mike Grier to a one-year deal.

Terms, as always, were not disclosed.

Personally, it’s shocking that Grier is making his return to town after the way he left in the first place.

Blackhawks’ Kane arrested in Buffalo

This is one headline I sure didn’t expect to see this morning when I checked the Buffalo News website for Bills news.

Buffalo native, Chicago Blackhawks star, and South Buffalo’s favorite son, Patrick Kane was arrested this morning, the Buffalo News reports.

Chicago Blackhawk right winger and South Buffalo native Patrick Kane and a relative face robbery and other charges after allegedly assaulting a cab driver and failing to pay their fare after getting a ride from Chippewa Street early this morning.

Kane, 20, and James M. Kane, 21, were arrested about 5 a.m. on Eastwood Place, according to Buffalo police reports.

Alright, so you can assume two things from this report.

1. Kane was drinking, and was most likely drunk, because no one goes to Chippewa and gets a cab ride back sober.
2. Our boy Pat is a drunk asshole.

What kind of moron does this kind of thing?
