On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including going over the biggest all-time Buffalo Bills heartbreaks and where this latest dramatic playoff exit ranks among them.

This weekend was Valentine's Day so naturally Joe, an unapologetic (or simply in denial) cynic was inspired by the holiday and recent Bills loss to remember the biggest heartbreak the franchise has ever had. They discuss some of the best known debacles like wide right, 13 seconds, music city miracle, this year's Brandin Cooks' no catch and Jim Kelly's sad ending to a Hall of Fame career. But Joe has others in the tank that may make you grimace in pain.

Also, significant sports media news in the Buffalo market dropped this past week as Tim Graham and Brad Riter were announced to at least temporarily hold the 1-3pm slot on WGR 550. The guys got plenty of opinions on that and if they think it will eventually turn into a regular thing.

The Bills added 71-year old John Fox to the coaching staff as a senior assistant to Joe Brady. Predictably the guys have differing opinions on it. That and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by special guest and possibly the most highly recruited high school football player to ever play in Western New York, Canisius High School star Elijah Kimble in a wide spanning conversation recorded live at Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo.

Kimble recently won the Connolly Cup, given to Western New York's top high school football player and in doing so became the first player ever from Canisius to win in the 53-year history of the award. He's also the first player from any school ever to be a finalist for the award in each of his first three seasons.

His stats at Canisius have been mind blowing, he's ran for 5,325 yards already through three years, the most all-time in Monsignor Martin Association history and he's fourth all-time in Western New York with a still a full season left to play, just 1,234 from the top spot.

Kimble isn't just some high school phenom, he' literally the most highly recruited running back to ever come out of Western New York. He's already received north of 35 major D1 offers and recently narrowed his list down to a final 10, a group that includes Ohio State, Michigan, Indian, Miami, Florida, Washington, Kansas and Syracuse.

Perhaps most impressively, he's an absolute humble and class act student athlete and young man. Patrick has a thorough discussion about his life, career to this point, goals and much, much more.

Be sure to follow Elijah on Twitter X at @ElijahKimble0 to follow updates on his career and life.

Big shout-out and thank you once again to Imperial Pizza for being a gracious host and for their excellent wings. They now have two locations, 1035 Abbott Road and also 1665 Main Street.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by WROC-TV sports director and Buffalo Bills reporter Thad Brown to discuss four things that went extremely well for the Buffalo Bills in 2025 and four others that went equally wrong among other Bills topics.

Thad has been on TV working in WROC in Rochester for over 25 more years, most of it in sports and of course covering the Bills. It's Thad's first time back on this podcast since 2019 and Patrick asks him a few Bill and sports media questions to get the conversation going before they dive into Bills talk.

First they start with four things that definitely went very well for Buffalo over this past season, including James Cook taking a leap from pretty damn good running to back to NFL's leading rusher, an influx of strong contributions from "old" guys on the defense they probably weren't counting on for much, Cole Bishop's big leap in year two and a ton of flashed potential from rookie defensive tackle Deone Walker.

Of course, turnabout is fair play and they also discuss four things that went terribly wrong for Buffalo this season. That includes them being a turnover machine compared to 2024, a wide receiver room that was mostly a disaster, big ticket defensive lineman no showing the playoffs and now former head coach Sean McDermott pushing the wrong buttons again at crucial points of a playoff elimination game.

Patrick also asks Thad for his thoughts on the Joe Brady hire, the coaches that have come with him so far, what he expects to see this offseason and plenty more. You can follow Thad on Twitter at @ThadBrown7and check out some of his work at RochesterFirst.com.
