On this very monumental edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by two of the best sports journalists in the business today, Joe Buscaglia (The Athletic) and Tyler Dunne (Go Long) for a conversation live from Sonny Red's to help celebrate the 1,000th episode of this podcast.

Both Tyler and Joe have been instrumental in helping Talking Buffalo grow through these first 1,000 episodes. Joe's first appearance came all the way back on episode No. 37 when he was an anchor at WKBW-TV. Tyler's show debut goes back even further, episode No. 6 when he was still at The Buffalo News. The guys talk about how much things have changed in their life both personally and professionally over the past seven years in addition to discussing how covering the Buffalo Bills and NFL has changed during this time.

They also spend plenty of time talking about the Bills as they get ready to enter the free agency period followed by the NFL draft. How important is that the Bills find a way to overhaul a defensive line that continues to fall short in playoff elimination games? How much does the team even need to add to an offense that was one of the best in the league last season and historically good by all Bills franchise metrics? That and tons more.

You can follow Joe on Twitter @JoeBuscaglia and of course check out his work at The Athletic. You can read all the content at Go Long by subscribing via Substack. You can follow Tyler on Twitter @TyDunne.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
