Buffalo Wild Wings serves activist a taste of board clout
Buffalo Wild Wings offered an investor a taste of power on its board — but the activist hedge fund wants the whole “Blazin’ Wings” platter. The spicy-chicken sports bar — under pressure from Marcato Capital to boost profits by franchising nearly all of its 1,200 locations — on Monday nominated two new board members, one of them also backed by Marcato. Sam Rovit, chief executive of CTI Foods, was nominated last month by Marcato whose founder, Bill Ackman protege Mick McGuire, has been rattling t..>> view originalBuffalo Jackfruit Tacos [Vegan]

BUFFALO, N.Y. - (AP) -- Sabres captain Brian Gionta was presented with a silver-plated stick before the opening faceoff of his 1,000th career game on Monday night. Afterward, Gionta received a puck to go with it: The game-winner, in fact. The 15-year NHL veteran celebrated his milestone evening by scoring what stood as the decisive goal in a 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers. "It was an emotional night, a great thing the organization did and my teammates being a part of it was pretty special,"..>> view originalBills claim defensive end Scott Crichton off waivers
Getty ImagesThe Buffalo Bills claimed defensive end Scott Crichton off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings on Monday. Crichton was released by the Vikings on Friday after spending three years with the team. The Vikings waived Crichton with an injury designation at the conclusion of training camp last year and he spent the year on the team’s injured reserve list. Crichton – a third round pick of the Vikings in 2014 – appeared in 21 games with Minnesota between the 2014 and 2015 seasons. He recor..>> view originalBuffalo Wild Wings nominates two for the board
Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD -1.2%) nominates Janice Fields and Sam Rovit for the board. Fields is a former president of McDonald's USA, while Rovit is the CEO of CTI Foods and was originally put forth by Marcato Capital as a nominee. Marcato on the development: "In our view these changes do not go far enough and the company's rejection of our proposal to adopt a Universal proxy ballot is clearly designed to thwart shareholder democracy." Marcato Capital holds a stake in BWLD of ~5.6%.>> view originalBlues, Flames take care of business (Islanders … do not)
For quite some time this season, the Norris Trophy race felt a bit like “Brent Burns, Erik Karlsson and [insert token finalist].” As it turns out, Victor Hedman is making it a pretty interesting three-horse race. With Burns and Karlsson idle on Monday, Hedman continued to go on the best offensive tear of his already-impressive career, contributing three assists to the Tampa Bay Lightning’s 5-4Â overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks. As much credit as forwards Nikita Kucherov and Jonathan ..>> view originalBWW Interview: Singer and Songwriter Nick Randall
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Nick Randall is keeping busy with some new projects coming up. MCL: When and how did music start for you? NR: Music started very early on, but not in a formal way. I can remember watching all of the Disney sing-along movies with the "bouncing ball," singing along to "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" and "A Pirate's Life for Me" with my 3-year-old face pressed right up against the screen. One of my earliest Christmas gifts from Santa Claus was a Mr. Microphone, which was a m..>> view originalSupposedly sophisticated investors seem to be susceptible to flashy ...
Hedge fund investors are supposed to be the smart guys—too rich and sophisticated to need the protections that Wall Street’s regulators try to offer the average investor. But that worldliness doesn’t necessarily keep them from being suckers for a shiny name. A new study by researchers from the University at Buffalo in New York and Finland’s University of Oulu finds that investors allocate more money to hedge funds with names that have “gravitas.” They estimate that, for funds with similar perf..>> view original2017 NFL Draft Mock Draft: Part 2
As the calendar turns to April this week, it is time to take stock of the fact that the 2017 NFL Draft is a little more than four weeks away. Before free agency opened, Jason Hirschhorn posted a first-round mock that highlighted some team needs and players that would fit nicely into those roles. Now that most of the key free agents have signed new deals -- some staying where they are, many more relocating to new franchises (and Tony Romo still in limbo) -- the draft needs have changed for many ..>> view originalGW Mullins Launches Folklore Hardback Book 'Supernatural Tales ...
Native American Mythology began long before the European settlers arrived on North American soil. Contrary to popular beliefs, there is more to Native American Folklore than stories of buffalo hunts, teepee living and animal stories. Hundreds of tribes throughout North American created a huge mythological system that has rivaled that of the Greeks. Since the beginning of time every civilization has presented its own collection of strange tales and folklore. The Native American Indians are no..>> view original
