5 Fantastic Predictions for Buffalo in 2012

These predictions are so shocking, so Earth shattering, that they might actually have a slim chance of maybe, someday, under the right conditions, coming true.

#1. Cheerio factory to make Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Those who enjoy the smell of Cheerios in the morning as they drive over the Skyway, are now in for a special treat. In 2012, General Mills will retool their Cheerios factory to produce Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

While Skyway commuters are having their olfactory senses overwhelmed with the delicious aroma of cinnamon and sugar, police will be watching closely. “Distracted driving is against the law”, explains one officer, “And if we see you enjoying that delicious smell too much, you will get a ticket.”

 

#2. Roswell Park teams up with Roswell aliens to fight cancer.

Roswell Park, the worlds leading colorectal cancer institute, will collaborate with the Roswell Aliens, the universe’s leading probers of anus, to help fight colorectal cancer.

“No one group has gathered more data on the human rectum than Extraterrestrials. We believe this intergalactic partnership will finally lead to a cure.”

 

 

#3. Terry Pegula announces a new Sabres GM.

Just before the close of 2011, Sabres owner Terry Pegula commented to reporters that “My youngest daughter could have made some of those saves”, after an 8-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

In 2012, look for Mr.Pegula to tell Darcy Regier “My 12 yr old son could GM better than you”, and immediately name his son, Matthew, the new General Manager of the Buffalo Sabres.

 

 

#4. Hydrofracking gives some Buffalonians super powers.

Environmental groups have long warned about the unknown dangers hydrofracking may have on the environment, especially the water table. These groups can now rest easy, because the contaminated water from hydrofracking has given some WNYers superpowers.

Spokespeople for the Environmental Group remain skeptical. “If there are superheros running around now, then how long will it be before there are super villains?

 

 

#5. Bills Mafia goes old school.

The Bills Mafia is group of dedicated Buffalo Bills fans who, in 2011, set themselves apart on Twitter. In 2012, The Bills Mafia will now set themselves apart in the stands at The Ralph by wearing suits.

 

“If a man went to an NFL game in the 1950′s, he wore a dress suit, not a track suit.” says one Bills Mafia member. “Plus…chicks dig guys in suits, so it was an easy decision”.


Buffa-Leaks! The untold story of “So no Richards”?

Jessie Pegula's controversial armpit

On July 1st, the first day of NHL free agency, Jessie Pegula, daughter of Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula, set Buffalo’s Twitter scene ablaze with one simple Tweet: “So no Richards?”. With those 3 words, Buffalo’s hope for signing #1 free agent center Brad Richards were dashed. Speculation on Twitter and sports talk radio was rampant, even more so after Jessie deleted the Tweet. The official explanation from Jessie was that it was a “ButtTweet”.

A few days later, The Buffalo Observer learned that something similar had happened yet again. We are told by a source that while searching for her keys after tennis practice, Jessie inadvertently placed her phone in her armpit while searching though her gym bag. Jessie’s armpit, not to be outdone by her butt, proceed to send the entire log of SMS texts between Jessie Pegula and her father Terry to the BO.

This has been covered up by the mainstream press, in part because of the shocking revelations they contain about Mr.Pegula’s financial situation. Publishing these texts was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make in the span of my 2 weeks as a journalist. But, in the spirit of the truth, The Buffalo Observer reluctantly releases that conversation.

Jessie Pegula: Hey Dad how are u?

Terry Pegula: I’m at the office going over finances. Not good.

Jessie Pegula: What’s the deal with Richards?

Terry Pegula: There’s something we need to talk about first, sweetie.

Jessie Pegula: What’s up? Richards wont sign with us?

Terry Pegula: It’s not that. We just can’t sign Richards. Daddy’s broke :(

Jessie Pegula: Haha yeah right. Have you talked to Richards agent yet?

Terry Pegula: Honey listen, Daddy spent all of our cash. All of it. After signing Lindy, Gerbe, McCormick, Ehrhoff, the new rug in the locker room put us over the top. I just put a 2nd mortgage on the house in Florida.

Jessie Pegula: Stop kidding around lol! I just heard on the radio you were on the jet going to see Richards?

Terry Pegula: That’s ridiculous honey. I sold the jet to sign Leino. Those Finns really know how to negotiate.

Jessie Pegula: Haha seriously though. People want to know the chances of signing Richards.

Terry Pegula: Honey, do you know what the word “insolvency” means?

Jessie Pegula: So no Richards?


Pegula Interested in purchasing a 3rd Hockey Franchise

On February 18, 2011, to the shock and delight of hockey fans in WNY, Terry Pegula purchased the Buffalo Sabres for $189 million dollars. Just four months later, Pegula purchased the Sabres former minor league franchise, the Rochester Americans.

Do you have change for a million?

“This is not an affiliation, this is a unification,” Sabres president Ted Black said, “We’re one market, we are one team and we have one vision.”

But that vision doesn’t end there.

Sources close to Pegula tell The B.O. he is “very interested” in buying a third hockey team. But this time, he’s targeting a local Pee-Wee hockey franchise: The Angola Pigmen.

“Mr.Pegula was very serious when he proclaimed the Sabres and Amerks as the foundation of a “Sabres University”, says our source. “The Angola Pigmen will serve as the ‘elementary school’ extension of that same idea”.

The rumored purchase of the Angola area children’s hockey team has created a huge buzz inside the Pigmen locker room, but some of the parents don’t seem so thrilled with the idea.

“Pegula’s ‘championship at any cost’ mentality is fine for the professionals, but that’s a lot of pressure for a bunch of ten-year olds,” says one hockey mom. “My son still wets the bed from time to time.”


Despite their parents reservations, for the Pigmen players, playing for Terry Pegula is a dream come true. “Mr.Pegula promised to buy us ice cream after every game, no matter what!!” said one excited Pigman forward. “If we win, we even get rainbow sprinkles!”

“Rainbow sprinkles” may be a sticking point in the final purchasing negotiations, however the excitement of the children remains unwavering. One young Pigman even has a suggestion for his new owner. “I hope Mr.Pegula trades Billy Thompson,” remarks the Pigmen’s 11-year-old goaltender,”He smells like dookie”.
