    Newest Sabres intern.

    Went in for an interview on Tuesday. I was dressed up, nice shirt and tie. I walk in to the security entrance and as I'm checking in, Rene Robert walks in.

    He sees me and says "Look at this guy. He's ready, he's ready before I am" and I overheard them say something about a tour he was gonna take around the arena I guess.

    Then he says "So what are you dressed up for? Are you here for something or are you just f*****g around?" and laughed.

    So I said "I have an interview upstairs."

    "Interview? For what"

    "Hoping to help them out designing stuff for the team"

    "Very nice, well good luck"

    So I said thank you and went on my way.

    And in conclusion, I got an e-mail yesterday saying I begin on Monday, and I owe it to Rene wishing me luck.

    Awesome man! Congrats!
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Good for you, GW. Congratulations!
      Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

        Thanks, I'm way ready to get it going.

        Not too sure what I'll be working on, but like I told them in the interview, I'm not doing it just to be here. I wanna do it because I wanna put my work towards a sports team, and why not be a team I've been a lifelong fan of.

        And I think being one of, if not the first interview was an advantage so they could get one in and start working immediately.

            congrats.

            If the Sabres start incorporating the slug again, I'm gonna kick your ass.

              It sure as heck won't happen under my watch.

              One of the people I met with was the creator of the Slug, Frank Cravotta.

                Make sure to kick him in the nuts for the slug but thank him for bringing back the blue & gold.

                On second thought, nix that first part.

                  He knows what he did was wrong. It won't happen again.

                  But he did generate millions of dollars in merch sales regardless, so it wasn't a total bust.

                    I think that's just because the timing was perfect.

                    The slug came out between the end of an improbable season and the start of one of the best seasons in Sabres history. As long as the logo didn't include a swastika or a maple leaf, it was going to make millions.

                      Why is he still working there?

                      Congrats on the new job. I'm jealous. I'd love to work for the Sabres.

                            now that your in the Sabres front office try to find out what really happened with Drury and Briere, just kidding. I don't care anymore it's water over the dam.

                            I still believe though that something happened behind closed doors in the locker room with Briere and Drury. Heard a rumor that Drury didn't like Briere's play in one of the playoff games and Drury came out with it! Briere then took his stick and swung it at Drury. Kind of like Obi-Wan and Anakin in Star Wars part III when Anakin goes over to the Dark Side.
