Buffalo Sports Teams Give Us a Patriotic Feel [VIDEO]

From seeing my cousin Staff Sargent Timothy Payne drop the ceremonial first puck at the Sabres game on Saturday to the giant field length flag at the Ralph on Sunday, it sure felt quite patriotic in Western New York this weekend.

And how about the cargo plane flying over Ralph Wilson Stadium before kick-off Sunday?

Thank you Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills for saluting our troops with class and dignity!
