Dale Mussen

I've been doing this radio thing for over 35 years now. I've been a part of the Breakfast Club morning show since 1986. Since I was a kid, I've loved to read. I read the newspaper each day nearly cover to cover – usually not the classifieds though. I get a lot of ideas for my Daily Data segment just by reading the paper. I’m a lifelong Bills and Sabres fan, and I've been a regular in the press box of both teams since 1979 -- but I'm still waiting for one of them to win a championship! Four cracks at it for the Bills and two for the Sabres, and they came up short. I was born and raised in the Buffalo area. I went to school at Niagara University, and since Clay went to Canisius, we get to raz each other twice each year when the Eagles and Griffs meet to play basketball. I have a large collection of records. I'm one of the few that still has the old vinyl, including a lot of old 45s in their original sleeves. Some kids probably have no idea what I'm talking about at this point. My favorite things to do in my spare time are bike riding and fixing things around the house, and each fall, I officiate high school football games.

They’re a personal information center, but it all began with a phone and today is the day 40 years ago that the first cell phone call was made.

Buffalo Sabres End Pittsburgh Penguins’ 15-Game Winning Streak

How do you figure these Buffalo Sabres?  They lose against some of the worst teams in the NHL and beat some of the best.  The Sabres ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday night, ending the Penguins' 15-game winning streak, the second-longest winning streak in NHL history.  The Penguins also own the NHL's longest winning streak, 17-games.

Who Invented The First Tea Bag?

It’s pretty much a routine with me most mornings – a cup of tea and toast. The easiest way to brew a cup of tea is to pour hot water over a tea bag in a tea cup. My grandmother used loose tea leaves using a tea infuser, sometimes known as a tea ball. It worked on the same principle as a tea bag but you’d put the loose tea in the infuser and steep it the same way.

The Case That Changed How Crimes Are Prosecuted

It was a murder case in 1905 that changed the way cases were investigated and prosecuted. The owners of a South London general store were found beaten to death in their home. The cash box where they kept receipts from the store was empty so it looked like robbery was the motive. A thumb print on the cash box didn’t match either of the victims so detectives from Scotland Yard had their first clue.

Buffalo Sabres Win Streak Ends

After a 3-game winning streak, the Buffalo Sabres played what can only be described as a lousy game to start their two-game Florida swing.  They generated only nine shots thru two periods while falling behind 2-0 and eventually lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1.
