There’s a Brett Favre parody that’s spreading like wildfire in the YouTube world. Though this has nothing to do with Buffalo sports, I found it funny enough that I had to share.
**WARNING** A lot of this material is not suitable for children. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Prior to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night’s contest against the New Jersey Devils which saw Lindy Ruff coach in his milestone 1,000th game, Ruff told the media he’d trade the 1,000 games for two wins.
He got one of them by the time this one was over.
After being tied following regulation and overtime, Thomas Vanek scored for Buffalo in a shootout. Meanwhile, Jhonas Enroth made two fantastic stops on Jason Arnott and Patrick Elias. Down to their last shot after Tyler Ennis failed to clinch things, Devils captain Jamie Langenbrunner scored to extend the shootout to extra skaters. Derek Roy immediately scored for Buffalo and with New Jersey having a chance to prolong it again, Ilya Kovalchuck completely lost the puck and never got a shot off, resulting in the Sabres taking the 5-4 shootout victory.

Steve Christie played for the Buffalo Bills from 1992 to 2000. In his 15 NFL seasons, Steve converted 336 of 431 field goals (77%) and 468 of 473 extra points (98%), giving him a total of 1,476 points. Steve had nine game-winning field goals in overtime, an NFL record he shares with former NFL placekicker Jim Breech. In Super Bowl 28, Steve set a Super Bowl record by kicking a 54-yard field goal. It is currently the longest field goal ever made in Super Bowl History. He was a key contributor in the Bills comeback win against the Houston Oilers, which occurred after the Bills trailed 35-3 early in the third quarter in a playoff game after the 1992 season.
