The Tim Graham Show

This week's "Tim Graham Show" shouldn't have left anybody wanting Wednesday. Buffalo News senior columnist Jerry Sullivan stuck around the Sports Radio 1270 The Fan studio for an extra segment to discuss the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres' front office turbulence. Sully and Jonah Bronstein hashed out whether LeBron James is the greatest basketball player ever, the NBA conference finals…

The "Tim Graham Show" must go on. With or without Tim Graham. Guest host Bucky Gleason stepped to the mic and kept the conversation flowing, while only once welcoming listeners to the "Bucky & Sully Show." Graham, on secret assignment somewhere "in the country," called in on a poor connection during the first hour to discuss his reporting on Russ…

Merry End-of-Pre-Draft season, everyone. We made it. We survived. Mock drafts and all the ejaculatory declarations about prospects and their hand sizes and three-cone-drill times and pad levels will be rendered useless so very soon. We reveled Wednesday on the "Tim Graham Show." The usual gang was in studio, with special appearances from Buffalo News NFL reporter Jay Skurski and local author…

They could be Mike Tyson leaving the prison gates, Tiger Woods after his divorce. Sure, the New England Patriots still have an invincible vibe. But as we know the Patriots, are they already extinct? Boston is ablaze with theories about the futures of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, about a supposed rift between the players and coach Bill Belichick, about the…

What's more real? The New England Patriots trading up in the first round to draft a quarterback and maybe dangling tight Rob Gronkowski? Or the matches Sunday night at WrestleMania 34? We talked about it all on the "Tim Graham Show." Our resident Patriots honk, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com, broke down the plausibility of his beloved team impacting the Buffalo Bills' pursuit…

This week's show was a mess. I caught co-host Mike Rodak of ESPN.com surfing the web and not paying attention. We were distracted by deer staring into our 1270 Sports Radio The Fan studio window. Buffalo News sports columnist Jerry Sullivan held side conversations into hot mics with Rodak and live-stream artist Jonah Bronstein. Creaky equipment was heard over the…

The O.J. Simpson interview started a discussion about journalism principles we were glad to tackle Wednesday on the "Tim Graham Show." Buffalo News senior columnist Jerry Sullivan, local author Lyndsey D'Arcangelo and Daemen College basketball coach Mike MacDonald (who got more than he signed up for) joined me for a conversation about the interview, how it came to be and how it…

Jack Eichel isn't playing for the Sabres, and come Monday some of his current teammates won't play for them anymore either. Eichel and the NHL trade deadline were the main topics on Wednesday's edition of the "Tim Graham Show." We summoned NHL.com writer Joe Yerdon into the 1270 Sports Radio The Fan studio to discuss. Yerdon, co-host Mike Rodak of ESPN.com and I got…

As part of our Hoopsapalooza edition of the "Tim Graham Show" on Sports Radio 1270 The Fan, old friend Tim Bontemps delivered the NBA angles. The Washington Post's national NBA writer gave his thoughts on the rebuilt Cleveland Cavaliers, whether the Toronto Raptors are for real, what's it like to be based in the Bay Area and cover the Golden…

Already sick of analyzing the Minnesota Vikings depth chart for the Buffalo Bills' next quarterback? Find yourself unhealthily concerned about A.J. McCarron's contract status? Pace yourself, fool. Free agency is a month away, the draft two and a half months away. Chillax and look around Western New York for a constructive use of your sports time. This might the greatest…

What is going on with the New England Patriots? Josh McDaniels jilted the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday to remain the Patriots' offensive coordinator. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady appear — for now — to be returning for 2018. Rob Gronkowski might be mulling retirement. Report: Gronkowski mulling retirement to pursue Hollywood career as actor The "Tim Graham Show" got into all of…

Larry Nassar's reckoning reached another milestone Wednesday. A Michigan judge sentenced Nassar, the pedophile former gymnastics doctor, to another 40 to 175 years in prison on top of the 60 years he previously received for child pornography crimes. Some subjects must be discussed over simple sports. Nassar and the dumbfounding inability of USA Gymnastics or Michigan State to stop him from…

Jon Bon Jovi wouldn't have moved the Buffalo Bills, was going to buy a home in Western New York and pretty much would abandon his music career, but instead he slipped into a depression partly because he failed to buy the team in 2014. Those were revelations Bon Jovi made Wednesday morning to radio host Howard Stern. The interview was…
