One of the more intriguing dynamics in Buffalo arises from the presence of many former Bills players in the various Western New York communities. Coupled with the fact that more than a few of them have access to inside information regarding the team for which they once played, opportunities exist for plenty of folks not in the traditional media business to develop possibly good information about the team.

Lately, we've been paying attention (or, more accurately, readers have been repeatedly pointing out to us) the information being posted online by Joe Logan of EastAurora.org.

Logan reported Monday, January 4 that the Bills were slated to meet with Cowher on Tuesday, January 5, a disclosure that carried extra credibility because Logan also appeared to be the first to report that the Bills would be clearing out their coaching staff.

It's a 12 year old acne victim in his basement, like me.

Re: PFT not Dismissing Logan yet

I'm wondering if this Joe Logan guy may have just made a lucky guess since it was the Monday after the season ended and we all knew the coaches would be fired at some point. Maybe he thought he wasn't taking a big risk because he runs some obscure website.

No comment on Joe Logan.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt until today. Maybe he's been real busy with his job.

he has not returned phone calls from myself and other people in the media looking to speak to him.

I also find it 'interesting' that he can tweet news that if accurate would be huge, yet this time his Cowher report isn't even on the pages of his East Aurora website.

Re: PFT not Dismissing Logan yet

maybe east aurora told him to stop because they were getting bombarded with phone calls....so, he turned to twitter.
i'm sure the primary objective of its website is not to report breaking news.

Re: PFT not Dismissing Logan yet

I am not saying he is telling the truth or just pumping out BS. I know some do not understand why he would say such things and not want to talk about it. If that is the case I could understand where he is coming from. He is not trying to become a media superstar. He just wants to let Bills fans know the inside scoop and does not want to divulge or worry about divulging his source.

I'll find out what if anything East Aurora told him.

This is too big of a news topic to WNYers to be ignored

Will you admit that its hard to take something serious from a reporter that cleary has a photoshopped image over his face?

And he's generally a community/political writer, I scoured that site. That's not very good village politics to be throwing up crap on his village website, which leads to me think there could be truth.

I agree that he is taking a career risk based on his position. He may not be the smartest knife in the drawer. He does not appear to be someone that looks reliable based but looks can be deceiving.

I am just thinking he may not want the publicity but just wanted to communicate what he found out through a source.

I admit I am more skeptical about him as a source but I am not ready to say he is fabricating everything just because he did release information before it became public.

He emailed me and was supposed to give me a call but didnt, and then didnt return a cell phone message either.

Doesnt make him a bad guy your right, perhaps he is nervous to get scrutinized by the media as well. But when you publish stuff or tweet in a public forum, you should expect to get questioned on it by people trying to learn more about you.

I think the guy may not be that bright and did not think of the ramifications by his actions.
