As predicted, Buffalo was No.1 TV market in the country for Super Bowl. Even topped Cincinnati. Story to come.

Here's what Jim Nantz told me after Bills playoff loss to Kansas City: "Josh Allen's star – even in defeat – has gone to another stratosphere.” Judging by Allen's media performance at the Super Bowl this week, Nantz nailed it.

The 13.8 rating for the Sabres game Wednesday on NBCSN was more than 40 percent higher than this season's highest-rated game before Wed. It is the highest-rated Buffalo game on NBCSN ever. However, NBCSN has only been around since 2012 -- and the Sabres have been bad since then.

Dear Cole: You should be proud of beating the odds and playing in the NFL. But u weren’t competing against a killer virus. If u aren’t concerned about your own health, please consider your family, your teammates and the WNY community. It is not just about u. The NFLPA knows that

I am sure this will be an unpopular take for everyone but journalists: News anchors should not wear Bills winter hats as Ch4’s Melanie Orlins and Dave Greber did today during their reports. You are not supposed to be cheerleaders.

NBC officiating expert Terry McAulay didn’t think much of Mahomes and Reid’s complaints about the offside call that negated a KC TD that would have given them the lead. McAulay said it’s been called 11 times this year and has become a point of emphasis. Not a good look for KC

Ch. 2 reporter Dave McKinley just let Republican Congressman Jacobs blame President Biden for the gas price increases. Gas prices have increased since Biden took office but there should have been a gas company exec interview to explain it isn’t that simple to blame the president.

A few weeks ago, the Bills were a trendy pick to meet KC in the AFC Title game. Now many national pundits doubt they can beat Ravens. Which is why picking games is meaningless.
