OT: Local sports coverage talk (the Athletic/Local TV/TBN/WGR/Charging Buffalo/LGA, etc)

This was a really good conversation with Bakes.

Thanks for the link. Yes, he is very good. The Buffalo News has become really basic and dull on Sabres. There is just nothing that elevates their reporting. It's so rare.

Well, I guess I have to listen to it now.

In not sure where to put this.

The NHL is making it hard to watch hockey.

Sabres play 23 games in October and November. Because of blackout restrictions and other networks I'm able to watch 13 of those (live) with my ESPN + subscription.

Does anyone know if an ESPN game is also carried on + live? I can't remember.

EDIT: I take that back. The october 17th game is listed as ESPN only.

Put this here because I didn't see anything in the around-the-NHL thread. Maybe it was in the prior thread. It's a national broadcast thing, not local, but I guess it fits best on theme. Steve Levy / Gretzky with a video tribute.

ESPN Barry Melrose retiring to deal with Parkinsons.

A local sportswriter's most recent work:

Opinion | Why the NHL doesn't mandate neck protection, even after Adam Johnson's tragic death

It took a decade for helmets to become a requirement — neck safety shouldn't wait.
