"it might be an old cut that he's trying to open up" --- i've never seen worse, more biased national broadcasting in any sport in my life. ESPN should be ashamed of themselves.
A few months before he passed away in 2003, a 74 year old children’s television host sat down in the same studio where he had filmed 895 episodes over 33 years and recorded one last message. It wasn’t for children. It was for the adults who had grown up watching him.
Fred Rogers hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on American public television from 1968 to 2001. For over three decades he walked into the same set, changed into a cardigan and sneakers, looked directly into the camera, and spoke to children as if each one of them was the only person in the room. He never raised his voice, never talked down to his audience, and never rushed a single moment.
In that final recording, he looked into the camera one last time and said “I’m just so proud of all of you who have grown up with us. And I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are.”
He passed away from stomach cancer on February 27, 2003. He was 74.
Buffalo hasn't made the playoffs since 2011... but
• they were the largest U.S. market for the 2026 Olympic Gold Medal Game
• In 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 Stanley Cup Finals they were the largest local viewership from a neutral market
• In 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 they were the 3rd largest local viewership of any U.S. city for the complete postseason
• Game 1 tickets this year were $464 USD on average, the most of any team in the NHL
• they're projected as the largest U.S. market for the 2026 regular season
They're the most passionate American hockey city, hands down.
Hey sabrehood. Sabres Admin here.
We’ve been through a lot together. But specifically, I’VE been through a lot.
Tomorrow is the last day of the regular season, so it seems like a good time to get some things off my chest.
And so, today is now dedicated to the RECEIPTS.
Harrison Ford hinted recently that when Shrinking ends, he might hang it up. Ford is 83 & spent a lifetime dedicated to acting. The only thing I can really do is express my gratitude for all Ford’s done over the years. He’s made my life more enjoyable. Plain & simple.
