My column for @TBNSports on a Buffalo legend: Rick Jeanneret was more than worthy as our voice for all time.
Some stories from life on the road with RJ and advice to the #Sabres: Give the man a statue.

Sabres/MLB columnist, @TBNSports. BBHOF voter, 2013 Buffalo BBHOF inductee. Carrot stinks. The Tank failed. "Mike, YOU coach!" -- Lindy, 1/18/12.
- Booger McFarland on ESPN: "Nobody is concerned about football right now. America is concerned about one thing: The health and safety of this young man." Says flatly this game should be over. Amen.
- A quick Michigan-Ohio State thought: FOX really needed a far more muted presentation of Urban Meyer. Seriously.....Gus Johnson saying there aren't many men like him, the whole crew talking about "all the things he's gone through"....Just a really tone-deaf, bad look all around.
- BREAKING: It is my sad duty to report that Hall of Fame broadcaster Rick Jeanneret, the legendary play-by-play man of the #Sabres, has died this evening. The team has confirmed the news.
- The Peace Bridge lane markers have the spirit of the day. #Bills
- Memo to ESPN: Stop with the damn split screens. If we want to watch the Eagles game, we’ll flip the channel. We’re watching the #Bills.
- #Sabres in back room roar as Bass kicks the winning FG. Tuch celebrating wildly. Said one teammate: “Remember you’re not on the team.”
- Devon Levi is never seeing Rochester, folks. #Sabres
- This franchise is an utter disgrace. Ownership, management, coaches, players. All of 'em. That's all I got to say today.
- Cozens on his hit on Matthews: "Just seeing what he did to (Dahlin), it was a really dirty crosscheck and a dangerous cross check. So I decided to go out there and finish my check on him. And obviously a couple of guys didn't like that. But I'd do it again if I had to. " (1/3)
- Obviously I've been knee deep in writing RJ stuff and still am. But the fans should be saluted. How sad a night this would have been in a 1/2-empty building. To see you fill the house and cheer for RJ -- and the team -- like this, it feels like the old days. More, please. #Sabres
- Man, McDermott nailed this. The pass to Williams and then calls timeout for a curtain call on last defensive series. A coach who really understood the moment. Bravo, Kyle Williams. A warrior. #Bills
