		<description>Some leftovers from Christmas (I’m man enough to say it, unlike that one annoying TV commercial that’s still blaring):

- Does Channel 7 News still exist, let alone register a rating?
- Nice guy, but Channel 2’s Kevin O’Connell looks like he’s about to explode.
- Watching Don Postles deliver the news is like a throwback to my childhood. He’s smooth and adds just enough of the human touch to pass muster. Now how is it that he looks like he hasn’t changed much since my childhood?
- Is the fact that the Sabres games on DirectTV are on Channel 638 and on a channel that airs nothing but dead air in between games an asinine move, or just a bad sign?
- It took a local restaurant owner to purchase the remaining 7000 tickets so that the Bills game would be on TV? Guess that tells us what billionaire Ralph thinks of the city when he wouldn’t even pony up to do that.
- Why do people in the media (especially those in the local sports radio talk show business) decide to take off during the week between Christmas and New Years, when a lot of the common folk are also off, so viewership/listenership is potentially increased and you’d think they’d want to put their best foot forward? That’s so annoying. Kudos to those that come in and work.
- Speaking of WGR, after taking multiple on-air beat-downs, it appears that morning host Jeremy White has finally earned some respect from venerable Buffalo News sports columnist and weekly WGR guest Jerry Sullivan. It was earned (the hard way).
- Is it just a coincidence that I started watching Wake-Up on CW23 because I recently discovered that Amelia and Melissa were the hosts and I’m a relatively young single guy? Darn it all when I have to go back to work!

Feel free to add yours while Alan appears to take off this week! (Don&#039;t cha hate when they do that?  :P )</description>

		<description>Alan,

Thanks for the ratings info. On a website that publishes maps showing where NFL games go, there&#039;s a Forum. Some uninformed posters there think Bills fans have given up. They ask why Fox (WUTV) doesn&#039;t show a their big games at the same time as the disappointing Bills. One even said after the Patriots blowout, &quot;People in Buffalo must have been disappointed to miss the Jets-Bears game.&quot; 

I tell them that I grew up and lived in Buffalo for 31 years, and these people really support the team. We&#039;re not talking about fair-weather fans like in Phoenix, Houston or Atlanta. To put another game on against the Bills would be ratings suicide, and this proves it!</description>

		<description>10. No, he hasn&#039;t. In fact, the entire linebacking corps has been a disaster, and Chris is #1.</description>

		<description>My favorite one is &quot;Fitzpatrick is not a franchise quarterback.&quot; This has been said about 1000 times this season and I love it when I hear it just before he makes another spectacular 3rd down conversion. Granted, he&#039;s not leading us to many victories and seems to be either feast (4 TD passes a game) or famine, but it&#039;s not like he&#039;s got all-pro talent surrounding him either.</description>
