When it comes to sports, size matters. But depending on the sport, height isn't always advantageous. Certainly it's important in basketball. In football, size might be important for a linebacker, but generally width is more important than height in that regard. And in the case of baseball and hockey, height is sort of inconsequential. Those sports prioritize other physical qualities.

Full disclosure, I am not a wine guy. My wife is, but not me. Having said that, when she makes the call, and it is "wine night" I do enjoy going to our local wine bar for a night out. There is something special about them. They are elegant, almost all of them serve wonderful food, and I always feel, well, more educated after I spend an hour or two at a wine bar. Yes, that's the word: Educated.

Admit it - how many of us have googled ourselves or typed our name into social media to check out our “name twins?” We’ll snoop in their profiles to see where they live, what they do for a living, and if they remotely look like us. It’s a fun (and kind of creepy) look into what our life could have been like in another dimension.

If you're like me, you love to watch aircraft take off and land at airports. I've always been fascinated with the many types of aircraft that have been built since the beginning of flying. When an airshow comes to our area or nearby, many people like myself come out to enjoy checking out the various aircraft up close up.

Anyone that knows me, knows how much I love Syracuse sports. I've been a big fan of the Orange since I went to my first basketball game when the Orangemen took on Patrick Ewing and the Georgetown Hoyas. It was the game that cheerleader Michelle Munn (from Sayre) fell and...

As a kid in the 1950s and 1960s it was an important part of any vacation that I went on with my parents and siblings. We jumped for joy as we pulled into the parking lot of a mini-golf, usually at our favorite vacation destination, the Adirondacks. Back in those...

One historic baseball field in Upstate New York is one step closer to getting revived thanks to a generous donation. Stewart's Shops has partnered with the Dake Family to fund the Parkhurst Field Development Project in Gloversville. This legendary field, often referred to as the original "Field of Dreams", was last played on over 100 years ago.

More and more respected current and former NFL players and coaches are keeping a close eye on the Buffalo Bills this preseason. Hall of Famer and two-time Superbowl winning player and head coach Tony Dungy appeared on The TODAY Show Tuesday morning with his wife of forty years Lauren to promote their new book “Uncommon Influence.”

This Buffalo Bills team is so much fun. They're a ton of fun to watch on the field, but one of the reasons fans love this current Bills team so much is because of how they are as people off the field. This is probably the most well-liked Bills team...

Some days, sports stories will hit closer to home for our radio show, The Drive with Charlie & Dan, than others. Tuesday was one of those days. Our producer jumped into the studio announced, "The Ferry Hawks needed a pitcher for a double-header and Figgy is taking the hill!" The room broke out in cheers and applause for "our guy Figgy!"

You know what they say: records are meant to be broken. This statement is especially true in sports, as when an athlete sets a record in a sport, it becomes the target of every other athlete competing against them. Whether it's the most home runs, touchdowns, goals or three-pointers, every athlete wants to stand above the rest.

The Buffalo Bills are focused on winning a Super Bowl on the field, but lawmakers and the Bills ownership are focused on finalizing details for the Bills brand new, open-air stadium. The deadline for paperwork to be filed is September 1st but the Bills owners, Pegula Sports and Entertainment and...

Most New Yorkers have been to Syracuse for one reason or another. Of course tens of thousands have come to the city for the Great New York State Fair, and others have come to attend Syracuse University as a student (or parent). You have come to visit the zoo, to fly out of the Syracuse airport, to attend a downtown food festival, to see a Broadway show, to see an exciting basketball game at "the dome," and more reasons you have found yourself in Syracuse. So have we visited the city? Yes.

The Buffalo Bills will be back at St. John Fisher University in Rochester on Sunday for an 11:45 am practice, which will be the only non-9:45 am starting time this summer for camp. Bills fans, however, are still basking in the glow from the perfect evening at the annual blue...

As we get older, do we find ourselves reminiscing more? Well, since there's more to remember as we get older, I'd say the answer to that question is yes. Unfortunately, I don't remember some of the details from experiences in the past. But, thankfully, the internet is full of information,...

The Buffalo Bills have arguably the best roster in the entire NFL, which is still hard to believe for many Bills fans, especially those who are in their 20’s and 30’s who suffered through the 17-year playoff drought. Those fans missed the late ‘80s and early ‘90s success.

The Buffalo Bills are off today but will be back at practice on Wednesday. The team is gearing up for their first preseason game, which will be this Saturday at 4 pm against the Indianapolis Colts at Highmark Stadium. The Bills only have two practice days left in training camp...

Someone dropped this on Josh Allen on Friday night and looked both confused and mad. According to some fans, Josh repeatedly said "not cool". On Friday night the Buffalo Bills hosted a scrimmage at Highmark Stadium and tons of fans stayed after practice in hopes to get some gear signed. Josh Allen was jogging into the tunnel to make his way to the locker room when one young fan dropped a football that hit his neck.

A sports center in Vestal where athletes of all ages and all skillsets were able to burn off energy by letting our their inner ninja or practicing parkour suddenly and unexpectedly announced that its doors would immediately be closed, and permanently. The Hippodrome Vestal announced through social media on Saturday,...

It looks like a Bills Mafia fan favorite will be in Buffalo for another couple of years and it looks like we might get a glimpse at what kind of offense will run over the next couple of seasons. Here in Buffalo, we are about the underdogs, and on any...
