  • Simply the best

    Upon returning home after 40 years in enemy territory (Boston) I realized I needed a drive time radio show that would bring me up to speed on all my favorite teams and keep me there.

    Something dedicated to WNY.

    The Sports Bar did all that for me and more.

    The show made me laugh!

    Imagine a local sports talk show that had the rare ability to not only offer up valuable takes and insights into the teams I have loved my whole life, but entertain me and make me laugh at the same time.
