Eric's Buffalo Sports Page

Well I'm not a sports junkie, but I do like sports. Since I'm originally from the Buffalo, NY area, I root for the sports teams from Buffalo.

The Buffalo Bills

No Super Bowl jokes please!. Unless they're funny ;-). I am not a fair weather fan. I have liked and followed the Bills since childhood and suffered through many a dismal season.

If you like the Bills, check out these places:

"The Unofficial Buffalo Bills Home Page"
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has an excellent Hyperbills section.
Check out John Ferguson's Bills page. Make sure to visit his links page....many more than I have here. :-)
USA Today Bills page.
The NFL has a pretty cool homepage with a page for every team. Of course the "best" one is the Bills page.
Sportsline (a service similar to ESPNet) has a Bills page.
Others soon! Let me know if you know of other cool Bills pages.

The Buffalo Sabres

I have followed Sabres hockey since I was 8 years old when they lost to the "Broad Street Bullies" Flyers in the '74-'75 Cup Finals. If you like the Sabres, check out these places:

The Official Buffalo Sabres page.
Want a comprehensive and up to date list of Sabres links? Check out Wolfie's Sabres Page.
USA Today Sabres page.
John Ferguson also has a Sabres page. Is this kid good or what?
Official NHL Web site. This page is OK, and keeps getting better..
Nando's Sports Server has a Sabres page. You need to have an account there to access some of the information, but some is free.
Similarly, Sporstline also has a Sabres page.
Others soon! Again, let me know if you know of any other cool Sabres pages.

Here are a few images of Sabres players that I have collected from the 'Net.

Here's some from the "glory" years:

One of hockey's greatest lines: The French Conncection; Gilbert Perrault (11), Richard (Rick) Martin (7), and Rene Robert (14) have their jerseys retired.
Former sabres captain and 50 goal scorer: Danny Gare.

Former Sabres

Sabres Nemeses

The singular reason the Sabres lost the Cup finals in '74-'75... Bernie Parent
One of those guys you've got to HATE but would LOVE to have on your team: Dale Hunter

The Buffalo Bisons

I'm not as big a baseball fan as I am for hockey and football, but hey it's a hometown team. The Bisons are a AAA team, in the American Association, and the top minor league club for the Cleveland Indians. They have a very nice "retro" stadium in downtown Buffalo, NorthAmericare Park (formerly Pilot Field).

The team usually does fairly well. In 1995, they lost the American Association championship to the Louisville Redbirds. In 1996, they finished first in their division, but faltered in the playoffs. However, in 1997 they were crowned league champions after defeating the Iowa Cubs in the championship series. Congratulatios Bisons!!

Here's a Bisons page. It has the schedule and standings etc...
