  • On this Independence Day episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran discusses his recent guest appearance on former Buffalo Bills center Eric Wood's "Centered on Buffalo" show before replaying, with permission the entirety of that interview that consisted of both Bills---and wing talk.
    Patrick had the great honor of being on Eric's show, which aired originally on June 13th. On the show they discussed Stefon Diggs giving praise to Josh Allen, pushed back at "national analyst" Emmanuel Acho's assertion that the Bills Super Bowl window is completely closed, analyzed Sean McDermott and went over a few guys who could be ready to breakout in 2024. They also discussed several of Buffalo's most well known wing options, including a few both consider polarizing. For good measure Patrick was also asked to share his three favorite places for pizza.
    With today being a holiday and many people off work and away from their daily routines, we figured this would be a great chance to give this interview a listen if you didn't catch it originally on Eric's show. Speaking of which, make sure you're subscribed to Centered on Buffalo, available wherever you listen to podcasts as well as YouTube.

  • It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative as Patrick Moran responds to several questions and takes from audience Today goes heavy on Buffalo Sabres related rants from fans in lieu of a week that's seen plenty of additions but not what most were hoping for in addition to some Buffalo Bills related submissions as the team's now just a few weeks away from the start of training camp.
    When you habitually you lose, you don't get the benefit of the doubt from fans or the media. That's where we're at and where we've been at with the Buffalo Sabres. Sure, they made plenty of moves over the past few days but almost no one feels like it's nearly enough--not when they're still a glaring need for a top six forward and a third-line center. This currently feels like a roster that has a pair of complete fourth lines. Patrick goes through a handful of rants from fans and responds accordingly.
    Turning to the Bills, Patrick's asked to talk about one or two training camp potential surprising storylines as well as the importance of Greg Rosseau this season and what kind of Super Bowl champion Josh Allen would be. That plus stuff about wings, Comic Con, 26 Shirts and more.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Sabres fans hopeful for a flashy upgrade to the line up as NHL free agency kicked off were left disappointed, and Patrick Moran talks about the new additions on a busy but splash-free opening to the offseason that has them questioning how bad things really are for the organization.
    NHL free agent stars like Steven Stamkos, Tyler Bertuzzi, Tyler Toffoli and Jake Guentzel among others felt like a pipe dream to Sabres fans and that feeling came to fruition on Monday. Hell, the Sabres didn't even really replace the recently bought out Jeff Skinner.
    Buffalo did make a few signings with guys that realistically could improve their bottom six forward lines but aren't players that resonated with fans. Patrick has thoughts on Buffalo overpaying for Jason Zucker, adding forwards Sam Lafferty and Nicholas Aube-Kubel as well as finding more depth at goaltending with Felix Sandstrom. The team also re-signed Jacob Bryson.
    Patrick also goes back to the well on a take he's been saying regularly since February--that the Sabres are the worst organization in all of pro sports right now with the proven fact that seemingly no one of value wants to come play here as part of the evidence. As explained, if the Sabres are going to end the longest drought in NHL history this coming season, it's going to be because the players already on the roster show dramatic improvement and find a way to stay collectively healthy. That and plenty more.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Chad DeDominicis of Expected Buffalo to discuss the start of what's absolutely going to be a critical offseason for the Buffalo Sabres and in particular, general manager Kevyn Adams.
    As you're listening or watching this the official start of NHL free agency will be underway. Meanwhile the NHL Draft has come and gone and the Sabres, to the chagrin of many of their fans didn't do much over the weekend---highlighted by trading down from the 11th pick three spots and acquiring an extra second-rounder, a pick they parlayed into someone very likely to be a fourth line forward.
    Chad has plenty of thoughts on how the opening weekend of player movement and the draft played out, including Buffalo moving down three spots from 11 and in the process costing themselves an opportunity to select one of two highly touted defensemen both on the board for the Sabres original pick, Sam Dickinson and Zeve Buium, a player Minnesota moved up to get at pick No. 12. Did Adams drop the ball by prematurely moving back? The extra pick led Adams to trading with Washington and acquiring pending restricted free agent Brent Malenstyn, a physical player who is excellent in some areas of the game but isn't going to offer a lot offensively (just six goals in his first full NHL campaign last season).
    Of course, Buffalo did make a pick at No. 14 and Chad shares his thoughts on Konsta Helenius.
    At least through this point the Sabres biggest move was making the buyout of Jeff Skinner official. The Sabres now save $7.5 million in cap space for this season but will be paying Skinner for the next six years instead of three. Chad has plenty to say about Skinner, his legacy in Buffalo and if he agrees with the organizational decision.
    They also discuss some of the names Buffalo should be targeting as free agency kicks in addition to the possibility of a trade(s) coming down the pipe as well as Adams very likely having his job on the line based by how this summer and upcoming season goes plus That and plenty more with Chad, who you can follow on Twitter @CMDeDominicis and be sure to check out Expected Buffalo.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective for (mostly) Buffalo sports edition of "Buy or Sell" where Patrick runs off a series of sports statements and PK analyzes whether he's buying or selling the validity of them.
    Before that the guys have a discussion about longtime Buffalo Sabres forward Jeff Skinner. As of this recording Skinner hasn't officially had his contract bought out but reporting certainly seems to be pointing strongly in that direction. On the assumption Skinner's guy the guys have thoughts both good and bad about his time in Buffalo and if he agrees with the organization's decision.
    From there it's Buy or Sell and some of the topics include Von Miller leading the Bills in sacks, Dalton Kincaid being a top five tight end this year in both receptions and yards, the team making a trade before Week one and Bobby Babich being the defensive play caller in 2024.
    On the hockey side we cover the Sabres trading the 11th overall pick in Friday night's draft, Lindy Ruff finally ending the Sabres seemingly forever drought and Connor McDavid deserving the Conn Smythe even though his team didn't win the Stanley Cup.
    That and plenty more. You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.

  • It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative as Patrick Moran responds to several questions and takes from audience, including shade deservedly thrown at the Buffalo Sabres organization as yet more key players on past teams that couldn't win with Buffalo go on to play key roles in helping another team win a Stanley Cup.
    Like it or not, the Sabres are among the worst organizations in all of major pro sports. Their record on the ice and decisions off the ice support the statement, which only strengthened on Monday night when the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup in game-seven, which of course saw Sam Reinhart score the series-winning goal. With that ,Reinhart joins Jack Eichel and Ryan O'Reilly are former core players that have went on to taste the pinnacle of hockey success----after leaving Buffalo, not to mention Kyle Okposo. Patrick has plenty to say about that and the now likely buyout of overpriced forward Jeff Skinner in the coming days.
    Another commenter takes the Sabres woes a step further, saying that they've been horribly run for literally most of their existence. Clearly being tied for the longest playoff drought in sports and seeing a slew of former Sabres go on to have success after leaving has fans at arguably their most frustrated.
    There's also submissions centered around the Buffalo Bills, including David Edwards seemingly being handed the starting left guard job and some concerns at safety. That plus a comment about this week's all-time sports media draft, Sara Holland's appearance on the show last week and much more.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, with just a few weeks before training the camp the Buffalo Bills 90-man roster is pretty much set, and Patrick Moran's joined by friend and recurring guest Anthony Marino to go over the additions and subtractions positionally and come up with their official Bills offseason report card.
    With emphasizing that this exercise is not a "state of the team" as a whole but more so a comparison and analysis of what the team lost versus what they added, the guys go through the team positionally and try to figure out if the team got better, stayed the same or worsened at each spot. Obviously the conversation revolves around three areas of the team that resulted in the most personnel turnover: wide receiver, defensive line and safety.
    The exercise also shows a few areas of the team that clearly on paper have downgraded on paper during the offseason, most notably cornerback after losing both Tre White and Dane Jackson and the only addition being a sixth-round rookie who's path to the roster is most likely through special teams. Offensive line is also a downgrade after losing their starting center and reliable utility lineman while adding just a fifth-round rookie, even if his ceiling is ultimately pretty high.
    Plus, the running back position may be an addition by subtraction upgrade at this point---ditto at quarterback and much more. Be sure to follow Anthony on Twitter @AnthMarino.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by WIVB-TV sports reporter and anchor Sara Holland for a conversation taped live from Imperial Pizza on life, work, wings and the Buffalo Sabres and more.
    Sara's been at Channel 4 for about a year and a half but has spent more time in Buffalo than that, having went to college and played softball at UB. They spend some time talking about how Sara's gotten more acclimated to Buffalo professionally and relationships developed during that time with colleagues, but at the station and around the Buffalo sports media landscape.

    They also spend some time discussing the Sabres, a team Sara spends considerable time covering when she's not in studio doing all sports. She has thoughts on growing speculation that Jeff Skinner will get his contract brought out and early initial impressions on head coach Lindy Ruff.
    That plus Sara considers Imperial the best wings she's had so far in Buffalo, why she's willing to admit she wants the Sabres to be a winning team and much more.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined in studio by longtime friend and recurring guest Tone Pucks to discuss several topics, including the debut of "Props with Pucks"--a series of sports bet scenarios that Pucks lays down what he thinks the betting odds should be.
    It's been a few weeks since Tone's been on the show so they spend a few catching up. From there Patrick throws out a bunch of mostly Buffalo Bills and Sabres prop bets at Tone and tasks him with coming up with betting odds on the fly. Among them on the Bills side are Dalton Kincaid leading the Bills in receiving yards this season, Damar Hamlin making the Bills 53-man roster, Von Miller registering at least 7,5 sacks, Chase Claypool sticking around and Cole Bishop being the Week one starting safety.
    Turning the Sabres, Tone lays odds on many props, including Jeff Skinner getting bought out, UPL signing a multi-year deal, Henri Jokijaru getting dealt, the Sabres making the 11th overall pick in next week's draft.
    That plus a few other fun non-Bills or Sabres prop bets and plenty more. Follow Tone Pucks on Twitter @TonePucksRedux

  • It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative as Patrick Moran responds to several questions and takes from audience, including examining what the Buffalo Bills biggest under the radar question mark is going into the season and if the Bills are a better team right now than the end of last season.
    There's lot of question marks around the Bills right now, just as there are with most if not all teams around the league. Some of them are pretty obviously, especially asking how the Bills offense will look without Stefon Diggs and how much of an effect losing so many veteran leaders in one offseason may have. But there's other potential issues with the team as well and Patrick's asked to identify one that isn't talked about as much. He comes up with the pass rush and elaborates on why it's anything but a given that part of the team will be good enough when it matters.
    Also, there's a difference between how a team looks on paper versus reality at times, and Patrick tries to explain that while on paper Buffalo looks like a lesser team than when the season ended last year, that isn't necessarily the reality.
    Not to be outdone today are submissions that sees one fan call sports journalist Tyler Dunne a goober, correctly picking the NFL MVP like your life literally depended on it, favorite and most memorable bars in Buffalo on the heels of the Old Pink burning down this week and much more.
    If you'd like to have your submission featured on next week's show, you can either comment on one of the YouTube videos, Talking Buffalo Facebook page or send a Tweet or email to Patrick directly.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by sports journalist and Go Long founder to discuss several Buffalo Bills related topics, primary Dunne's recent sit down with Bills general manager Brandon Beane.
    It was certainly a surprise to many Bills fans to see Dunne score an extended interview with Beane considering his critical and some would say controversy articles on the team in recent years. Dunne said himself in a controversy Sean McDermott series last season that the team denied him media credentials. Dunne talks about how things have changed regarding the professional relationship between he and the team, with Dunne at recent press conferences and this hour long sit down with Beane that's thoroughly discussed in the episode.
    Dunne talks about Beane's demeanor during the interview and many of the topics they touched on during their chat, including some fascinating conversation about Stefon Diggs and the process of trading him away, Josh Allen being Josh Allen, his using the term "transition" in describing the 2024 Bills, addressing Tyler's McDermott series and some of Dunne's post Beane conversation takeaways.
    They also talk briefly about the Old Pink burning down, Rory McIlroy gagging away the U.S. open and much more.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by BillsMafia co-founder and 26 Shirts owner Del Reid to talk charity, fandom and the Buffalo Bills in a conversation taped on location at 26 Shirts headquarters in Kenmore.
    Del's been on the show plenty of times in the past but it's been a hot minute since he's last been on--therefore there's plenty to catch up on them. Among them is discussing Mafia Con, an inaugural event coming July 20th spearheaded by Reid that'll include food vendors, music, beer, live podcasts (including this one) and Bills player appearances (including one from rookie receiver Keon Coleman). Del talks about who sparked the idea and what his expectations are for the event in year one.
    They also spend some having Del reflect on what it meant to be selected the Buffalo Bills Fan of the Year for 2023 and the way he was quite literally surprised to learn from it---hat tip to Stevie Johnson.
    Of course at the root of everything Del does is 26 Shirts and they spend time talking about the never-ending charitable endeavors and added responsibility/pressure that comes with it. That plus some talk about the Bills, plenty of naysayers out there and plenty more. Special thanks to 26 Shirts for allowing us to come enjoy a taping at their office headquarters, good stuff!

  • On today's Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined in studio by podcaster Zach Kmitch for his first full episode ever on the show and the guys are dissecting exactly where they think the 2024 Buffalo Bills are as they approach the one month mark before training camp officially begins.
    After spending a few minutes introducing Zach to the Talking Buffalo mix and getting to know a little about him, the guys dive into this Bills roster as presently constructed and the probability that it's for the most part set. In terms of team strengths Zach has plenty to say about the Buffalo front seven on defense, that even without the departed Leonard Floyd should be very good with a healthy Matt Milano back. They also talk about the plentiful amount of young offensive talent that both guys believe is still ascending.
    There's definitely things to worry about with this team too. Among those topics discussed is questions marks on the offensive line, a unit that last year was easily the best of Josh Allen's career. Connor McGovern's played center before but can he effectively move there from guard and play well enough to not have Brandon Beane lament releasing Mitch Morse. Plus, David Edwards goes from being a huge under the radar asset as the sixth offensive lineman last year to starter at guard----will he play as well as he did when he was with the Rams or may the Bills have a problem there? Plus the Bills safety position is no longer something to not have to worry about it with the departures of both Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, even if each were past their prime.
    That plus a few X-factors, a little golf talk sprinkled in and much more.

  • It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics as Patrick Moran responds to several questions and takes from consumers of the show, including who he thinks are the biggest Bills incumbent training camp cut candidates, the importance of Greg Rousseau staying healthy and wondering if Buffalo would/cut support a WNBA team.
    Veterans end up getting cut before the regular season every year and the Bills are no exception. Patrick's asked to name some players he thinks could be in danger of not making the roster and he comes up with four to keep an eye on, including one that's become a household name around the league and another who was once one of the better trench players in the league.
    Also, recurring guest Joe From Queens drew plenty of heat for some of his Bills takes over the past few day and Patrick responds to some of them. How much lesser, if at all is the Bills pass catching group compared to last year?
    That plus why Tua Tagovailoa still has plenty to prove for Miami, pondering if the market of Buffalo would support a WNBA franchise, a commitment to more (any) Buffalo Bandits coverage in the future and much more. If you want to be included in next week’s Podbag, leave a comment on any of the full-length show videos on the Talking Buffalo YouTube channel or you can also tweet or email Patrick!

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens for a second consecutive show and this time the guys are discussing if the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins should all be considered co-favorites to win the AFC east division.
    Among others, Ceasar's Sports Book in Vegas has Buffalo, New York and Miami essentially in a dead heat in regards to betting odds to win the division, with the Bills and Jets both at +180 and the Dolphins right there with them at +190. Should that be the case? Patrick doesn't think so while Joe thinks it should be Buffalo and Miami neck and neck. Of course, debating ensues. Patrick acknowledges there's several questions that need to be answered about the Bills but is more confident they're still the cream of the crop of the division while Joe continues to be of the mindset of expecting Buffalo to take a step back.
    Meanwhile Patrick keeps things even by laying out several question marks fans and supporters of both Miami and New York should be having as well. They discuss Miami's ridiculously hard schedule down the stretch, key edge rushers trying to come back from major injuries and general lack of belief (at least from Patrick) in the quarterback. With the Jets they talk about Aaron Rodgers' age and achilles that still doesn't look 100% based on film clips in July, plus a bookend pair of aging offensive tackles tasked with protecting him.
    They also spend a few minutes talking about boomer complaints, each removing an existing member of the WWE Hall of Fame and much more. Follow Joe on Twitter @BuffaloWins.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest and frenemy Joe From Queens and Joe fires up the (mostly) Buffalo sports hot take machine, with plenty to say about Stefon Diggs recent comments on Josh Allen and Bills offseason content being boring if not pointless.
    Diggs recently spoke to the media in Houston and during his comments took the time to shower praise on his former quarterback in Buffalo, saying he probably wouldn't be where he's at in his career were it not for the help of Allen. It's probably in stark contrast to what a lot of Bills fans assume Diggs feels about Allen, seeing who presumably wanted out of Buffalo this offseason and there's been reports and plenty of speculation that the Diggs/Allen dynamic had been on shaky grounds for quite a while. Joe also talks about his belief that the majority of Bills fans would like to see Diggs fail in Houston to make them feel better about trading him away---a move Joe continues to think was a mistake.
    They also talk about OTA's, minicamp and other offseason content that Joe regards as mostly a waste of time. It leads to a pretty spirited discussion between the two. They also spend some time talking about the treating of Caitlyn Clark in the WNBA and plenty more. Follow Joe on Twitter @BuffaloWins.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss upcoming Bills camp storylines, Sabres trade candidates and the Bandits continuing to fly under the general public radar despite being perennial champions.
    Things are pretty slow with the Bills and the rest of the NFL this year time of year but make no mistake about it---things will starting heating up real soon. Mandatory mini camp is now just around the corner and the guys go over some of the storylines that they'll start to get more locked on as minicamp starts next week and of course, training camp near the end of July. Among them is a potential starting strong safety battle between Taylor Rapp and rookie Cole Bishop, if Mike Edwards looks secure enough starting at free safety to keep Sean McDermott from dialing up free agent Micah Hyde and if rookie center Sedrick Van Pran Granger looks strong enough at camp to earn his way on the field into a starting competition.
    It's been a minute since any Sabres talk on Talking Buffalo and today the guys are going over a handful of potential trade candidates as the offseason gets cooking in just a few weeks. Is Jeff Skinner even tradeable? Does a NHL blue liner get moved in an effort to acquire another center?
    That plus Patrick has a conversation with PK about the Bandits winning a second consecutive championship. Buffalo Sports Collective has the best, most in-depth coverage of the Bandits year-round and PK's a huge part of it. Patrick gets his insight on not just the team winning another title but a firsthand account of what the experience was like being in the crowd for the game and examining if he thinks the team is growing on the region's casual sports fan. That and plenty more.

  • On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran takes all 32 NFL teams, puts them all into seven tiers and focuses on which grouping the Buffalo Bills most likely belong in.
    As opposed to taking each team and "power ranking" them No. 1-32, this exercise leads to seven tiers being created: Super Bowl favorites, Legit Super Bowl Contenders, Playoff Near Locks, Playoff Top Contenders, Could Surprise, Nah and 2025 No. 1 Pick Contenders. Patrick first explains why he prefers to tiers to complete numerical order--being able to place multiple teams on the same level.
    From there we start at the bottom tier and work our way up. Here's a spoiler alert---- there's eight teams that are ranked at least as high as the "legit Super Bowl contenders" tier while five teams are projected to be in the mix for the top overall pick in next year's draft.
    Also, the Bills are now no longer solely favored to win the AFC east, per Ceasars Sports Book. That plus some flowers to a fellow content creator on pulling Mina Kimes as a special guest and plenty more.
