Draft Glennon Trade for Chase Daniel Graham Harrell

Didn't he drop the interception that would have sealed a victory over the Chargers just before the touchdown pass?

What all the dissenters here don't seen to get is that when more people want to listen to someone else, they will be replaced. Radio is a business and the reason these guys are on the air is because they make money for the station. When the vocal minority that doesn't enjoy the show offers more buying power then those of us that enjoy the shows, then they will be replaced.

I am not an accountant, but I'm pretty sure money earned in New York State is taxable in New York State. According to a study in Minnesota, the Vikings generated over $10 million in state income tax per year. I'd be willing to bet that state tax in New York State is at least on par with Minnesota.

Simple question. Regardless of any other economic benefit or quality of life impact, if spending $100 million results in $120 million of state income tax, sales tax and property tax revenue(player and staff housing), is it worth the investment?

One thing the naysayers avoid discussing is how much state income tax is generated by the team. I have no doubt that all the cost benefits analysis reports are skewed to reflect whatever point of view that the author wants. The real hard numbers should be easy to document. Now that NFL teams payrolls are approaching $150 million, how much state income tax is paid? $10 million per year? Even the naysyers would have to admit there is some economic benefit to having people making this kind of money in your neighborhood so if the state income tax covers the initial state outlay, isn't the state ahead? There are obviously a ton of factors involved and numbers to crunch but if you can get to break even and you acknowledge at least some financial benefit compounded by a quality of life enhancement isn't the answer obvious? For the record, I believe in a perfect world the government wouldn't get involved in any of this but unless you can get a new law passed, play the best you can within the rules you have to deal with.

There was no "as he saw it." The Sabres were considered "preferred tenants" and were able to secure all Friday nights, for instance. I still hate Snyder for what he and later Brown did, but the lease was a problem. By the way, unlike his son, Joe Bryant did go to College(LaSalle) and Kevin McHale retired long after the Braves left.

We have this conversation every year. The minute the games were sold to Toronto, the games became sell outs per league by laws. Whether the Toronto group sells all of its allotment or not is akin to whether Stub Hub sells all its tickets. It doesn't matter.

The press box split is actually a bigger difference then I thought. I had tickets on both sides and found the Kelly side much more congested.

Don't know if any of you local guys would be interested but we are setting up a private Sports viewing club. Looking for between 12 and 20 charter members. Club would initially be available Saturday through Monday and is currently set up to view 3 games at a time with more to come depending on response. We are looking for people who enjoy watching with friends, like to drink socially and have fun but are there more to watch then get annihilated. We are hoping to assemble people who can help fund raise as opposed to pay dues, but all that will be decided by group. Initial location will be in Depew/Lancaster area. Anyone interested, PM me.

I'm pretty sure you can't sign them anymore. The deadline is sometime before the April draft.

Its not like baseball, they don't release the votes. All we know is that both players got at least 80% of the selection committee (44 members) to pick them.

They did an all time sports figure during the NCAA's.

By the way, didn't renew them cause I lost my partner. If anyone's interested, I'd share them again.

They showed both the previous 10 years. I didn't renew last year.

You really think that line was some creative brilliance? I heard that line in high school and I graduated in '78.

Actually, no GM was sure Brady or Romo would make it. Otherwise, Brady wouldn't have lasted till the 6th round and Romo would have been drafted.

Did any of you read past the first two lines? It was actually an encouraging and optimistic article.

I completely disagree with this assessment. In Football, it will be easier for teams to be competitive without spending like the Joneses and Snyders. Football is the ultimate team game and one player rarely makes the difference, save for a franchise quarterback. The difference in College Football, and this has even changed over the years, is that top programs could sign the top 3 running backs and quarterbacks out of high school and let them compete. Unless Jones and Snyder plane on paying second and third string players starters money, there will be plenty of players to go around. The key will continue to be, which front offices are sharp enough to hire the right people.

a) As someone else said, he wasn't even worse in Bills' history. See Stew Barber, Terry Bledsoe, et al. b) Bill Walsh did not recommend TE. He complimented the pick after it was made. This may be one of the most mis-reported stories in Bills folk lore.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/ Could they re-unite? Just throwing it out there.

Saying how difficult it is to plan against is a lot different then saying he can't figure it out.

Only problem with his analysis is that while Lynch and McKelvin haven't yet worked out (I still think McKelvin will), neither one of them were reaches and it could be argued that neither one of them were drafted as need picks at the time either. It obviously would have worked out better if they took Revis ahead of Lynch and Clady instead of McKelvin but if I can use 20/20, I would change those 5 or 6 times they passed on Tom Brady in 2000.
