That’s My Boy - Derek Roy
May 21, 2008 NHL
Sabres.com has a gallery of Roy’s best pictures from last season, including my personal favorite above (NOM NOM NOM). Since I sponsor him at hockey-reference, it’s only fitting that I point it out.Tags: B-Lo Sports, Hockey, hockey-reference, NHL, roy, sabres
Live Search Cashback
I read about this at Lifehacker earlier today. The next time you are looking for products online, take a spin over to MS’s Live Search Cashback page and give it a try. It’s a product search similar to Froogle or CNET’s Shopper, with a clean interface. The difference being that all of the particpating merchants have a percentage cashback when you search and make the purchase through this page. There are many popular merchants involved (including Newegg), and you only have to accumulate $5 for them to pay you out (Paypal, Direct Deposit or a mailed check). So far, I haven’t found many warts other than MS’s Live pages not working well in Firefox 3 RC1.

Sabres and Bills Stuff
I’ve been offline for a few days thanks to my parents being in town (and having a huge birthday party for my son and my daughter’s Christening), but if you are looking for recent Buffalo sports news, Kevin and dave in rocha over at BfloBlog have been doing some excellent work. Every Team Is Awesome But Ours dispels the MSM mindset that every other team in the NHL has things going their way more than the Sabres. “Long-term Contracts” rebuts the minor but oft-repeated point about the Sabres being ‘cheap’. Finally, Who’s the Dummy Now? gives Ralph Wilson (Buffalo Bills owner) some love for speaking out against the NFL CBA back in ‘06, the one the owners just unanimously voted to opt-out of. I’ll be back soon with my look at the Stanley Cup finals and any other cool stuff I missed while throwing down a huge carnival B-Day party for my boy.
