Through rain nor snow nor sleet of night shall keep Peter from living his life. Whether it be working for the USPS or traveling the continent in search of  sporting events it's a mantra he lives on a daily basis. While Peter spends his spare time blogging about his sports road trip travels and the Buffalo sport scene, it's not beneath him to heavily (too much so) pimp the sports teams near his hometown of Horseheads, New York.

The anchorman challenge: Pearl v Schmitt

I’ve got to admit that I was really entertained watching Channel 2 sports reporter Matt Pearl and Niagara Gazette Sports Editor Tim Schmitt go at it making their picks and prognostications for the first round of the NHL playoffs.

It wasn’t so much what actual picks they made, but the witty sarcasm and trash talk that surrounded this epic battle.

Schmitt:

    (In best Cosell) “Down goes Pearl!”

Pearl:

    Now I refuse to be bullied by a man whose profile photo shows him leaning against an imaginary chair.

Funny stuff!

Round 1 is in the books, and looks like Matt is the clear winner. Which I knew was gonna happen… “Sens in 6″… sorry Tim but what were you thinking?!

Now the boys move on to Round 2 and have posted their picks just in time for play to begin tonight. Here are Matt’s picks. Read on then, because Tim makes his selections here. Sprinkled in are a good dose of snarky comments, and they are clearly in disagreement over the eventual winners.

Good luck guys!
