BY: ZACH MCADOO On Sunday, November 29, the drivers of Formula 1 were getting ready to take on the twists and turns of the 3.363-mile track of Bahrain International Circuit.

Toxic fandom Part II: Sports fans are still increasingly harmful to each other
BY: ZACH MCADOO Last year I had a piece published in the UB Spectrum that talked about the toxic culture surrounding fandom and how it needs to stop.

Remembering the Greats: Not everything about being a Habs fan sucks
BY: DUANE A. STEINEL There are certain franchises in all of sports whose history really defines the sport itself. Last week I wrote about one of those teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs. A team I absolutely despise. A rival to my beloved Buffalo Sabres, the Leafs and their fanbase has provided me with many memories […]
Reile Talk: Sabres Sadness from an Outsiders Perspective
BY: DOMMY CNY Nostalgia. Angry-goat-headed levels of nostalgia cut through me like butter-knives (see what I did there) when the Buffalo Sabres Reverse Retro sweaters dropped.

Remembering the Greats: The Toronto Maple Laugh … I mean Leafs.
BY: DUANE A. STEINEL JR. So with what we hope will be the start of the 2020-2021 NHL season just a few months away, there’s some time to kill. Since NHL Free Agency has come and gone and the arbitration period for RFA’s is over, I thought it would be a fun exercise to write […]
