On this episode of the future award-winning Moran-Alytics Podcast, Patrick is joined by recurring guest and buddy Joe from NYC to discuss all things Buffalo sports and media as well as answer questions via a Twitter mailbag from listeners.

The extended segment includes the guys talking about NFL playoff expansion and a potential 17-game regular season schedule. Joe has an idea for the scheduling Patrick doesn’t think will fly while also getting salty about the potential of several neutral site games that would likely be played on foreign soil.

As the conversation turns to hockey, the guys discuss how the end of the season also needs to be the end of the road for Buffalo Sabres general manager Jason Botterill as frustration continues to mount that the organization is no closer to producing a contender now than it was three years ago when he took over.

Also included is a Twitter mailbag—questions from listeners that leads to extensive conversations about online dating and a hypothetical Wrestlemania card featuring all matches between members of the Buffalo sports media.

Speaking of, they also discuss last week’s podcast that saw the guys drop verbal hammers on AP sports writer John Wawrow and Patrick reveals his newfound anxiety now that his daughter has left for Air Force boot camp.

All this and plenty (plenty) more.
