Casual Friday: Bills Changes, Sabres Break & Best Board Games Draft

Casual Friday: Bills Changes, Sabres Break & Best Board Games Draft

Author: Blue Wire February 4, 2022 Duration: 1:25:48

It’s Casual Friday on Talking Buffalo Podcast, which means Patrick Moran is joined by Noted Hockey author and Maintenance Day podcaster Joe Yerdon to discuss a variety of topics, including some additions and subtractions with the Buffalo Bills coaching staff, an extended break for the Buffalo Sabres that couldn’t have come soon enough as well as their weekly “Starting Five” draft---this week consisting of the best board games ever.

The guys have thoughts on Brian Daboll getting the New York Giants head coaching job and Ken Dorsey being promoted to Buffalo offensive coordinator. They also discuss Sean McDermott and rumors of tension between he and Daboll.

The Sabres are now off until after the all-star break after playing three games in four nights out on the west coast shorthanded because of injury and Covid. The guys talk about how much of a wreck it’s been with guys constantly in and out of the lineup and how frustrating it’s been to not see the team at nearly full strength. They also highlight a handful of players on the team through the break.

They also discuss Tom Brady’s retirement, Patrick's biggest fashion pet peeve, the Starting Five draft of the best board games of all-time and much more.

There's a particular kind of passion that comes from following Buffalo sports, a mix of unwavering hope and hardened realism that Talking Buffalo captures perfectly. Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character. You'll hear the highs, the lows, and all the gritty commentary in between, all filtered through the experience of someone who truly understands what it means to invest in these teams. For anyone who bleeds blue and red or simply appreciates the complex narrative of a sports city, Talking Buffalo feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable, and admittedly opinionated, friend.
