  • Nats: Five Requirements for a Championship Run

    Nats: Five Requirements for a Championship Run
    One of the best teams in baseball, a five-game lead in the NL East on June 17, more exciting walk-off wins than most teams have in an entire season, how could anyone complain about the 2016 Nationals at this point? Stick around and I’ll tell you. Complaining about a first-place team might come off as ungrateful nitpicking in another town, but in D.C. it is a necessary evil — a survival tactic to be able to say “I told you so” when the wheels fall off. Great regular seasons, even record-setting ..

    BAML: We're in a 'buffalo' market
    Flickr / Cody Wellons No longer are "bear" and "bull" good enough to talk about the markets. "Buffalo" best describes what markets are doing right now, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "A buffalo market tends to roam over a long period of time, is herd-like and rather heavy, and can run the other way when worrisome obstacles get in the way," Karin Kimbrough, head of macro and economic policy at Merril Lynch, said in a newsletter. Which means that ev..

  • I'm Never Coming Back To This Place

    I'm Never Coming Back To This Place
    I'm always annoyed when the typical newspaper travel article takes up space describing three meals a day eating cuisine that can be found in any major U.S. city. In between, the writer shops for something that almost sounds worth the customs hassle, lies on a beach with the same sand that can be found at home, and reviews bars that have drinks that be concocted anywhere. If I'm going to travel halfway around the planet, I probably am never coming back, so I want to experience what is unique a..

  • Baseball player David Ortiz helps Buffalo Wild Wings' reputation

    Baseball player David Ortiz helps Buffalo Wild Wings' reputation
    Consumers’ views of Buffalo Wild Wings have hit eight-year highs this spring, and for that the Minneapolis-based chicken wing chain can thank David Ortiz. Last month, Buffalo Wild Wings posted a video prank on some New York Yankee fans talking trash about Ortiz, a star for the rival Boston Red Sox who is in his final year. Ortiz was listening in the next room — covered in Buffalo Wild Wings clothing — and then pops out to surprise them. Consumers’ views of Buffalo Wild Wings have been surging ev..

  • Now is your chance to own 1500 New York street signs

    Now is your chance to own 1500 New York street signs
    It’s a sign of the times. New York officials are selling a load of more than 1,500 decommissioned street signs on eBay — but the catch is that the buyer has to take the whole lot. The collection, which comes from all corners of the Empire State, is currently sitting in a storage facility outside Buffalo. The high bid was $305 on Friday, but there are still five days left on the auction. The signs include speed limits, no turn on red, pedestrian crossings and many others. A buyer could sell ..

    June 17, 2016 | 4:50pm Rex and Rob Ryan are already the most famous sibling tandem in the NFL. Now, their tandem seems to be gaining some momentum off the gridiron, as well. The two were seen riding a two-seat bicycle together in Buffalo’s Delaware Park in a moment that epitomizes pure bliss. They were filming commercial for local grocery chain Tops, according to a bystander. Rex Ryan recently said the Bills won the offseason, but this moment is ..

  • The Trump Disaster Chronicle

    The Trump Disaster Chronicle
    It’s natural to wonder how our next president would respond, on a human level, to a disaster like Orlando. The candidates have been pretty clear on policy, but how would he/she relate to a community, and country, in pain?We ought to have some clues, since both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were New Yorkers when the World Trade Center towers came down on Sept. 11.Clinton was a U.S. senator at the time, so her script was pretty clear. She comforted the afflicted, joined hands with political ad..
