The Casted Foot - A Two Part Episode 4!

It was a fun weekend (for some) of EPL action this past weekend, and since the Bills are in the hunt for draft position despite their stupid ability to win down in the Panhandle, and since the Sabres are just terribly, terribly shitty and should all die in a fire, I'll be shifting gears to soccer, my love of the EPL and, in particular, the Liverpool Football Club. If you don't like soccer, I get it, but this season is bonkers so it's a good time to try to jump in.

Consistent with my tunnel vision for foot, I digitally gathered together some producers of hot fire takes to talk about the EPL. Since we all ramble, and since there was a lot to get through, it's a two part episode this week. This all was an enormous amount of fun. I did barely any editing, so apologies in advance for rambling, WNY/Roch-style pregnant pauses, random static, and foul language.*

As with all of our podcasts, you can subscribe via iTunes (handy button below), or via the RSS link here. 

The Casted Foot - Episode 4, Part 1: Reveling in Some Red

In Part 1, my good buddy Phil and I talk almost exclusively Liverpool. We're both Reds supporters and after Sunday's 5-0 win at White Hart Lane, there was a lot to enjoy.  Part 1 includes music from Chiddy Bang, Queens of the Stone Age, and Calvin Harris. Yes, that Calvin Harris, lay off. You can download here or here, or stream below. 

The Casted Foot - Episode 4, Part 2: About as Well as to be Expected

In Part 2, Phil is back again and we're joined by The Outlander, the Deeg's resident Citizen, and Peter Berkes, who supports Tottenham and couldn't bring himself to watch the entire game on Sunday.  We talk more generally about the EPL, listen to Peter as he bemoans his squad and Outlander as he predicts an away victory for Manchester City, and Phil and I continue to dry hump LFC.  Part 2 includes music by A Tribe Called Quest, Pusha T, and Frightened Rabbit.  You can download here or here, or stream below.

Hey, Let's Try To Forget About Football And Continue To #SupportSally

Hey everybody, 

Long time, no write. I know we are all sad that our football team who showed so much promise now seems to be collapsing as always, but chin up. I STILL think this team is more fun to watch than any other team in recent memory, despite the joke of a game last week. (I was on a plane home from Seattle so praise the lord.)

Despite all of this, I thought it would be a good time to remind all of our dear readers about little Sally Kabel and her battle with Leukemia. As many of you remember, earlier in the year we got together with Store716, Trending Buffalo, and numerous other sports blogs to sell t-shirts and raise awareness for Sally and her family. The outreach and support was unprecedented, and I'm not ashamed to say I teared up several times from the e-mails, tweets, and phone calls I received about lending a hand. The Buffalo area & blogosphere are truly an amazing place.

So in case you haven't checked in awhile, Sally has been undergoing chemo while the rest of the family battles the Flu, so with the Holiday season among us, I figured this would be a good time to see what we can further do for the Kabel family. This leads me to two ways you can #SupportSally this week:

1. If you live in or near the NYC area, this Sunday, December 15th the DGWU Sports crew heads to McFaddens on 42nd & 2nd for the Bills/Jaguars game to sell #SupportSally t-shirts in person. McFaddens was sent a bunch of shirts from Store716 awhile back and we're going to be heading in to sell them for $25.00 each with ALL proceeds going to Sally and her family. I will be there with my wife, the Yachtsman, and even Joe from BuffaloWins.com, so look for us at one of the main tables. On top of that, if you buy a shirt and say "Buffalo Wins Sucks" I will buy you a Fireball shot. No joke. This might get expensive and come back to haunt me, but if it means selling more shirts, so be it! Please come join us, or at least spread the word to everyone you know in the area, even if they aren't Bills fans, this is a great cause. The shirts can make great X-mas gifts and help out a little girl very much in need of your help.

2. A dear friend of our blog, Frank Gifaldi (@fgif) has designed a shirt for 26shirts.com with all proceeds going to Sally and her family. 26shirts was started by Del Reid of Bills Mafia fame (and has been a huge help with the #SupportSally cause). This site releases a new Buffalo themed shirt every two weeks with all proceeds going to a charity of the t-shirt designers choice. Frank, being the awesome dude he is, chose to have everything go to Sally. The catch is, the shirt is only on sale for 2 weeks until December 22nd, so you have to get on it right away. On top of this, the shirts represents one of my new favorite unsung heroes of the Bills, Frank Summers, so it is definitely worth checking out...aka BUYING IT NOW!

Please join me in helping out our friend Matt, Sally, and the whole Kabel family. Spread the word.

Go Buffalo.

Oh my god... IS THAT THE WILDCAT?!?
The Apologist

We were all sold on a bright vision. From the offices to the sidelines to the locker rooms, everything looked new and exciting for the Buffalo Bills. Whether we liked it or not, many of us were sold long before we actually got to see the finished product. But we could never shake the fear of impending disaster lurking just around the bend. (see: Kevin Kolb slips on a practice mat, then ends his career on a preseason slide.)

Now, after two fumbles and an overtime loss, it seems like this vision is doomed like all the others. Maybe we should just destroy it all before it can get any worse. Because can we really handle another round of “Wait ‘Til Next Year!”?

Unfortunately, we’re not off the ride yet. Who we truly want destroyed is a decision for down the road. We’re still in it now and you’ve gotta decide whether you want to drive further into the jungle or hide in the bathroom until it’s all over. I think you should dare to go deeper.

I don’t know if this is going to be my last Bills post of the season. Last night, full of such familiar rage after such a familiar loss, I couldn't imagine concocting any more takes on a team that has so thoroughly shat on my heart now that the rest of the games matter only in some vague developmental-yet-still-really-meaningless-because-fuck-it-all-they-are-still-objectively terrible way.  Having just finished this post, I'm still not sure.

"Fuck Canada" - Falcons/Bills - Week 13

If you don't know this reference, you're reading the wrong blog.
The Apologist

Fuck the Toronto series. Seriously. They've never sold out a single one of these awful home game robberies. And way to take away our Thanksgiving game. The one weekend where almost every ex-pat is back in town, you ship the game up north for more money, but we're supposed to pat you on the back when Ralph or whatever machine is keeping Ralph alive buys up the unsold tickets which is essentially taking money out of your own wallet and then putting it back in?! Fuck you.

Then this week we had to listen to rumors about Bon Jovi moving the team to Canada. Not that anyone in Buffalo will ultimately care who it is that's moving the team when the time comes, but seriously? Bon Jovi? Throw on your Philadelphia Soul jersey and ghost ride your steel horse off the Peace Bridge, you over-the-hill hack.

But seriously there's no time for the usual song and dance so let's keep the profanity going.

Fuck Matty Ice. Fuck any fan in the crowd wearing a Michael Vick jersey. Fuck runs up the middle with CJ. Fuck Aaron Williams dancing like a moron after a routine tackle then getting torched on the ensuing play. Fuck the Canadian who says, "Well we're the ones who buy tickets to games in Buffalo." Fuck EJ's performances on the road. Fuck stupid penalties. And FUCK the Leafs and their beer-chucking fans. Just win today.

So raise a plastic cup to long bombs to Goodwin, Marcell Dareus' bruise that's still imprinted on Geno's ribs, tough runs from Freddy, disguised blitz packages, Mario Williams' sack total, and actually having a team worth talking about in December.


Cheers.
