The era of Derek Jeter is coming to an end soon…going to Yankees games will never be the same without “the Captain.” I was blessed to see the “Core Four” play, and hopefully Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte will be recognized together in Monument Park.

While Terry Pegula has yet to put a winning hockey team on
the ice, he’s certainly bringing hockey to Buffalo in a big way. Harbor Center
will host the 2015 and 2016 NHL Combine, and the First Niagara Center will once
again host the USA Hockey Prospects Game in September – there are also rumors
of will also be an Erie Otters game at the FNC this season - October 22.
I can’t wait for Harbor Center to open – I’m looking forward
to checking out the new (716) restaurant and the Sabres-themed Tim Hortons!
Dear NFL – PLEASE
give the Bills to Terry Pegula!!
For local auto racing fans, the fiasco at Lancaster…er,
Elegant Builders Raceway Park is almost as bad as Bills ownership scenarios. Hopefully
calmer heads will prevail and we can at least see the annual Tommy Druar-Tony Jankowiak
Memorial 110 run where it should be – EBRP. Then we can look forward to 2015
and a new beginning! (Hey, maybe Terry Pegula has a few extra dollars… J)
Three races till the Chase, one til the Countdown and two
left in the IndyCar season – this is one of the best times to be a racing fan!
One of NASCAR’s biggest stories is the number of drivers without a win yet this
season – at the forefront, Matt Kenseth, who went from seven wins last year to
winless in 2014. In the NHRA, John Force is once again a hot topic as he keeps
going rounds and winning Wallys – the thought that this legend may be sidelined
next year due to loss of sponsorship is unthinkable. The compacted IndyCar
Series season has kept it in the sports page more regularly this season – last year,
there were a few breaks of three or so weeks at a time, allowing fans to forget
about the series.
