True Colors....shining through.
The Deeg Crew, feat. Joe Pinzone & The Pink Elephant

Twenty-five episodes? Buffalo for real? Yikes.

Not only are we shocked that we have actually recorded 25 episodes, but the fact that we have kept a steady listenership and continue to gain subscribers blows our freakin' minds. So, on the eve of Yachtsman's 30th birthday, the Deeg drank lots of craft beer and gathered at the Apologist's apartment to record the big two-five, or the silver anniversary edition if you will. We open with a new theme dedicated to Mario Williams, and from there we go into rants of happiness about the big signing of our new high-paid, defensive monster. You will also notice that the Yachtsman probably had a little too much fun with Spotify during the recording (a lot of True Colors), but all in all, it made for some pretty funny moments, including actual hand-holding, high fives, and group hugs... and maybe some dry-humping.

The second segment is a little crazy, as we attempt to talk about the Sabres, but our overall excitement for beer and Mario leads us astray. We are joined by Apologist's roommate and friend of the Deeg, the Pink Elephant, for a good portion of the podcast, whose non-love of sports becomes hilariously apparent early on. However, he spends a good deal of time making fun of us for being idiots, so that evens it out. 

It also would not be a silver anniversary edition without our dear friend, Joe Pinzone of Buffalo Wins! Joe skypes in from home and most likely regrets it immediately. His take on the Bills and Mario is fantastic, and as always, so much better than anything we can come up with. Well done, Joe. Phil from BBG was supposed to be on, but technology is hard for us drunk idiots. Maybe next time.

Musical breaks from Toto, Wings, The Meat Puppets, and Puff Daddy & Mase. Yup.

With all of the wrestling talk lately, I couldn't resist
The Scizz

Exciting times people.  The Sabres are playing fantastic hockey and on the verge of a playoff berth.  The Rock is returning to the ring in 2012 to actually wrestle.  And this Saturday the DGWU crew gathers to record their maiden podcast.  It currently does not have a title, nor a definitive format, but hey, get the three of us in a small room with plenty of booze in our systems and it's bound to get interesting....and indubitably awkward.

That said, I think I better bring the mood back down to Buff-a-low standards. (See what I did there!)  The Bills still suck, and with the 2011 NFL draft fast approaching, the EPIC FAIL series must continue.  Ladies and gents, the draft class of 2008.

*Sidenote: I decided to split this into two sections because I was having major posting issues and lost my column about 4 times before it would save.  I'm worn out and need to walk away, so the rest of the picks will go up tomorrow or later this weekend.

7th round:  Kennard Cox - Defensive Back - Pittsburgh


Kennard never got a real shot in Buffalo.  He joined the likes of C.J. Ah You and Aaron Merz as players who never saw one snap as a Buffalo Bill.  Released even before pre-season, Kennard has actually gone on to a decent special teams career with Jacksonville and Seattle.  But oh what fun the word play could have been, right?  "You think your secondary is strong?  Ours is COX STRONG!"  Priceless.

Why so sacrilegious?
7th round:  Steve Johnson - Wide Receiver - Kentucky


Hey everybody look, a late round steal!  Oh thank heavens for this gem because in all honesty, the rest of this draft class is f*cking disgusting.  I mean like human centipede disgusting.  I had a stomach virus last week and after looking over the draft board, I almost immediately reverted back to projectile vomiting on the PATH train tracks. Which reminds me!  There are no garbage cans down there! NOT A ONE! Why the hell would you not think to include that in an underground train station??  Wait, what was I talking about?  Oh right, Stevie Johnson is awesome.  Except for maybe that whole blaming God for letting him drop a game-winning touchdown catch.  Not the best choice.

Another vague wrestling reference!
7th round:  Demetrius  Bell- Offensive Tackle - Northwestern State-Lousiana


By now you should all know the background story on Demetrius Bell.  However, since I find it to be a particularly phenomenal tale, let us review: Bell is the illegitimate son of WCW-PPV wrestler and NBA legend Karl Malone.  I did not make that up.  The best part is what a complete tool Malone has been about the whole situation. Besides all of that shit-show, Bell has turned out to be a solid 7th round pick.  I am by no means jumping on this guy's bandwagon yet, because he has been nothing more than a serviceable lineman up until now.  But with these horrific draft classes, you have to enjoy something.  The next three picks will display this wonderfully.

Front office or actual players? You decide.
6th round:  Xavier Omon- Running Back - Northwest Missouri State
5th round:  Alvin Bowen- Outside Linebacker - Iowa State
4th round:  Derek Fine- Tight End - Kansas


Three players drafted.  Three players off the team within two seasons. 
Bowen injured himself during training camp and never played a down.  Fine, a TE/H-Back hybrid was drafted right after the front office said they wanted to move away from using H-backs.  That went well.  Lastly, Omon took over the third-string RB role, but with the drafting of Spiller and the Bills' need to showcase Marshawn for a trade, was left on the outside looking in. All three are still in the league but put up zero's in every possible stat category last season.  DRAFT GOOD!



Come back for Section B this weekend!  Until then, I'm gonna sliiiiiide away from The Yachtsman's hard rock movement and present a band that I have been fairly obsessed about over the last 6 months.  Enjoy the Motown/Indie Rock stylin's of FITZ & The Tantrums.  GO SABRES!!!!!!

Hi!  How are you today?  Guess what? The Buffalo Bills just released their starting left tackle, and 2nd year player, Demetrius Bell, is going to start "cold" against New England Monday night.

Dear God.  I just threw up in my mouth a little.  And you thought Trent Edwards had confidence issues before this...

Please enjoy this video of Mr. Bell's estranged father.  Laughter heals everything.  Except for the injuries caused by a vomit-inducing offensive line.

1:18 pm:  Enjoying one of my last days of vacation.  Eating a slice of thin crust from Michael and Angelo's and drinking a Peroni.

1:19 pm:  Text received from good friend in Buffalo, simply says "Peters traded to Eagles".  I feel disappointed, but somewhat relieved.

1:23 pm:  Internet not working.  Fuck Time Warner.  What the Hell did we get for Peters???

1:25 pm:  Text received from same friend, says, "Good riddance, 1st rounder, 4th rounder, and pick next year".  I feel excited.  21st pick overall and a 4th, not too bad, plus that might be a 1st or 2nd next year!  Eat my ass, Peters!
