Can you imagine ole Jonas reaction when he saw the flag get thrown

Ungrateful kid having a baby on SB sunday! Congrats!

I would like to see a profit/loss for the State as the result of RWS as well. I find it almost impossible to believe it is significant given the small amount of games per season. But I have no facts to back that up any more than anyone else does. There have been studies done but they usually are done by someone with an agenda and show whichever side they are paid to defend. It is my personal belief however that the overall economic impact to WNY is not significant, and the impact to the state negligible at best. The stadium just isn't used enough to generate much revenue for the state. And Bills related salaries generating income tax is overall not significant either. Particular if some of the players and coaches have primary residences outside of NY. Mr Wilson himself is not even a resident of NY, though I'm sure pays some amount of tax to NY every year. Even the Bills corporation is not registered in NY according to records on the internet. Buffalo Bills, Inc 99 Kercheval Avenue Grosse Pointe, MI 48236-3618 Buffalo Bills, Inc in Grosse Pointe, MI is a private company categorized under Football Clubs and was established in and incorporated in Michigan. Keeping the Bills in Buffalo would be a very good thing for a city that has seen better days. But trying to make a case that is a good thing economically for NYS these days doesn't work in my opinion.

No but in this age of renegotiating contracts at the drop of a hat, I propose taking care of a player that has not only performed at a top level for you, but has also not threatened sitting out a season if it is not done like some previous douchebag players have done. There is no legal reason that the Bills have to do it, but there is a strong moral reason why they should. The Bills FO claims to be looking for players of character. Well they have one and it is time for the Bills FO to show a little character themselves IMO.

You can also think of it as "cutting your losses". One could argue that the mistake was made in the past for the county to build and agree to maintain the stadium, that cannot be changed. However does the state continue to dump money into maintaining the stadium? Or do they cut their losses and eat the one time cost to tear it down or whatever? Or does it fall onto the county and not the state? Are the terms of the lease with the Bills renegotiated for them, as primary tenant, to cover at least some if not all of the cost? There are multiple options to explore before the state should blindly give in and just throw money at it.

I don't think its a need to rush as much as desiring Jackson to be paid what he is worth. For Example ... CJ Spiller: Five-year, $25 million contract. The deal includes $20.8 million guaranteed. Another $12.5 million is available through incentives. After 2 non spectacular seasons he is improving, but looks to be at best a situational running back at the NFL level. Fred Jackson: Four-year, $7.5 million contract. The deal included a $1.1 million signing bonus and a $650,000 roster bonus in the first year. $50,000 is available annually through workout bonuses. One of the best every down backs in the league. The unfairness irritates some people and they would like to see it rectified sooner rather than later.

Should have had her yesterday.

A supermodel that makes 50% more money than he does. Sweet deal.

I don't watch the NHL game either for the same reason the NFL one sucks. But the NHL skills competition the day before is well worth watching.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Not the first play, the bet was the first score would be a NY safety.

Oh not even close. Just last year I think it was the black eyed peas were simply horrible.

I missed all of that. I watched until it was painfully obvious she was lip syncing (about 30 seconds in), then stopped.

Love the off season. Particularly pre-draft when optimism runs rampant Hey, you never know

I suspect anything Bills fans would do would be seen as just that, Bills fans trying to get their guy in. However I applaud the emotions behind your question.

Mr. Brandon, is that you?

It is a pointless game and should be replaced with a flag football game played by the cheerleaders of the two teams in the superbowl.

Johnson is no P. Manning or V. Jackson and plays for an irrelevant team. No reason for the media to speculate about him.

It's a nice city. Never been to the stadium but in every other way I'd say it beats Indy, Dallas, and a lot of other cities.

That must be it! Those damn terrorists are trying to destroy the US in the most devious way possible, by bankrupting the only true American only sport, the NFL! That's it, I've purchased my last knock off!

First off why is homeland security getting involved in this? I love these quotes (with my corrections): "This type of crime takes jobs away from American workers and profits away from U.S. businesses." "Counterfeiters use inferior the same materials and craftsmanship to produce look-alike products that do not benefit the teams, the players, or the hard working employees of legitimate U.S. companies and trademark holders." I can only imagine the quantity of counterfeit superbowl crap that must be in Indy now selling at half the price of the licensed ones. I'm not surprised the NFL pulled some strings to get the government to get as much of it out of circulation as they can so the NFL can make as much money as possible.

I suspect anyone with an agent is immediately too expensive.

They should get rid of it altogether in my opinion. The whole concept is pointless. Battle of the NFL cheerleaders would be far more entertaining. And probably far more physical as well.

I can't imagine Tasker ever making it in. For Andre I am torn. He is a Bill so I'd like to see him make it. But is he really a "hall of famer"? I can't talk myself into answering yes.

The Bills could use that quality.
