Matt Parrino & Matt Fairburn (Live From Imperial Pizza)

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by both Matt Parrino and Matthew Fairburn for a conversation about Buffalo sports, media and life that's recorded live at Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo.The Buffalo sports media landscape has changed a lot over the past decade, particularly on the Bills side and the Fairburn/Parrino combo have plenty to do with it. Syracuse(dot com) started covering the Bills in 2014 with a young upstart Fairburn anchoring that coverage. He talks about putting that outlet on the map as a credible source of coverage for Bills fans. Fairburn left the outlet to join a startup The Athletic in 2018 and Parrino, who was covering UFC in Las Vegas at time moved back to his hometown of Buffalo to take over. Parrino's taking the coverage to another level and discusses the interactive media element he brought there, especially the Shout! podcast he does with co-host Ryan Talbot.This episode is a discussion about several other things featuring two of the best sports journalists in the business today.Big shout-out and thank you once again to Imperial Pizza for being a gracious host and for their excellent wings.
