To start off today, we talk about some comments made by Darius Slay, defensive back formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers who was released and claimed on waivers by the Buffalo Bills earlier this week, only to tell the team he was not going to report, due in part to the fact that Buffalo is 'cold as hell'. While technically, that's true, is that enough to solely deter someone from wanting to come to Buffalo? What are your biggest pros and cons of Western New York, is there anything that would make you consider leaving? Also, Joe discusses a trend of decedents having someone post about their deaths on social media on their behalf, and to have some fun, what is the worst Christmas song of all time?
