I guess you really can find anything on the internet.
As many hockey fans, especially those in WNY already know, South Buffalo native Patrick Kane had a run-in with a cab driver in downtown Buffalo this summer. Someone posted a video on YouTube poking fun via the video game Grand Theft Auto. It’s quickly making its rounds around the net.
At first glance we were slightly repulsed. But after watching again, we now find it damn funny. So here ya go.
Minnesota basketball fans had all but given up hope on Jonny Flynn and the Timberwolves after an entire month without a single win. Wolves critics were saying that the roster, already looking tired after barely more than a month of play shouldn’t expect a win until mid-December at best. Those critics are now eating their words.
Flynn and the Timberwolves spent their Thanksgiving weekend in Denver upsetting the Nuggets, 106-100. The victory snapped an eye-popping 15 game losing streak. The Wolves hadn’t won since defeating New Jersey on opening night.
Flynn , the highly touted rookie from Niagara Falls, had a great game. He played just short of 30 minutes, collecting 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists. For the season, he’s now averaging 14.4 points and is up to 3.6 assists per night. After consecutive games of being held to single-digit points, Flynn has scored at least 16 points in each of his last four contests.
The Buffalo Bills are 1-1 under the direction of interim head coach Perry Fewell. Thrust into the limelight after replacing Dick Jauron as the head man on November 17, Fewell’s Bills have started to differentiate themselves from Jauron’s Bills, mostly in positive ways. The team is playing more competitive football. They’ve cut down on key mistakes (penalties and turnovers), they’re playing more aggressive football, and they appear to be a more confident group.
Give Fewell a lot of credit, folks. He’s dealing with many of the same issues Jauron did – injuries, an offensive line in flux, and all of the other problems we’ve discussed thoroughly in this space – and producing with that group. He’s making smart decisions, personnel-wise and game situation-wise, and thus far, they’ve mostly paid off.
