Haven’t verified if real, but, if it is ....

Purports to be a screenshot of the depth chart page on the Bills’ website.

THISis where this was posted?  

No wonders stuff is so confused in the Bills thread.  :doh: :doh: :doh:  (I'd somehow thought your post had been there & deleted. :doh:)

PS - the screen shot is a fake. ;)

You sure? The Twitter action I see insists it was real for several hours.

Ok, let's at least be fair.  It says "coming soon" in the bright red banner at the top.

It says “coming soon, the first official” one. This page apparently went live for a few hours.

Per Pergament at TBN:

Rich Gaenzler, aka "Bull" on 97 Rock, is replacing Lauren Hall as the Buffalo Sabres' in-arena host for this upcoming National Hockey League season.

He will be expanding his freelance duties, as he also is the in-arena host for Buffalo Bandits lacrosse games.

"I haven't signed any papers, but it is done," Gaenzler confirmed Monday morning. "I'm pumped and I can't wait. This is a huge opportunity for me. Just by virtue of the team being better, the atmosphere in the building will be even better."

The change in hosts is part of a planned overhaul to the Sabres' in-game presentation at KeyBank Center, a source said.

Hall had been the in-game host for the Sabres for the last six seasons. Her primary role is as a multimedia journalist for Pegula Sports and Entertainment, contributing to digital coverage of the Bills and Sabres. She left Channel 4 in May 2016.

Not for nothing: It was widely rumoured that Ms. Hall was one of the people caught up in the Russ Brandon tawdriness. I wonder if she did or said something in connection with that investigation (e.g., an attempt to cover up) that caused the Pegulas to sour on her.

One down. Allen and Moran, look out.

[Ho-Chi-Sock]

I can't say this for certain as I've never met the lady, but Lauren Hall seems like one of those people who wouldn't go near a kid with cancer unless she was getting a major payment out of the deal.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Lauren Hall is chz.  Yup.

I've always liked Rich Gaenzler. I think this is a good move.

I trust he won't get the Nicholas Picolas treatment. (Which was, and remains, so great, btw.)

She is still working for PSE. (I might be missing the joke here.)

This is incredibly unfounded and dangerous. Nothing definitive has been said. The Hall rumors started from a bunch of twitter chatter by people connecting her and another former media member who Brandon is actually known to have had a relationship with.

I think you have her mixed up with the franchise.

I've been around her several times - at events, fundraisers, games. She always came across as genuine and kind to me.

Ok, those are some UGLY hats.  Actually, the Bills hat isn't completely terrible.  But the Sabres hat, ugh.

Dear God those are ugly.

And, not even "ugly" as in "yeah, so ugly that they're sorta fun." (Like, arguably, the turd burger.)

Good job, good hustle, Jessie.

Well, I just strolled over to New Era and they're not on the racks there.

They don't allow me near the dumpster anymore.

They're so good... New Era doesn't list them on their site.

As usual. I get what they're going for. But wow that doesn't work in reality. Looks like the vaguely team themed patio furniture throw pillows some suburban mom would accidentally spill her cheap rosé on. But on your head. 

It's not hard to make a hat look good, I swear. If you wanna do a racing stripe design, it works better on a myriad of other apparel/applications, but skid marks down your fans' craniums.. nope. 

[Stoner]

I heard New Era is good at hiding garbage.

Not for very long they're not... 

[sodbuster]

The stripes should have run front to back of the brim. Or maybe just the side panels, like some of the recent NHL draft hats.

[That Aud Smell]

I went looking for those hats at the One Buffalo online store (they're not there, yet).

In so doing, I came to learn, for the first time, that One Buffalo apparel has three designers: Jessie, Kelly, and Matt Pegula.

In this way, the Pegulas start to resemble the Kochs.
