Nevermore, Indeed!
What's this I hear? Our Buffalo Bills mascot is engaged in a competition for biggest and baddest. What threat is a beak when you have a blue beard?
Alright, we realize this is a rather lame attempt at staying tuned in to a sports battle in the off-season, but our little blue Billy seems to be picking up a little steam in the challenge, and perhaps we should help.
If you look back through the links to each round of the competition on the CBS site, you'll see how Billy has fared thus far. Probably the least creepy of the mascots (looks wise), one still has to wonder about the facial expression our mascot has been given. What is he thinking?
Of special interest to us is the fact that Billy won the third round when Jaxson De Ville was pulled due to the misconduct of Raiders' fans. They must have been talking some heavy-duty SMACK!
So, vote or don't but remember, we're the City of Good Neighbors. Don't sully Billy's integrity in the finals.

A Kennedy Visits Buffalo
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:55am
