Yeah, I hear a lot of vitriol from older fans of other teams about Kelly, Thurman, Bruce, etc. When you're good, you're hated.

Well, maybe he has other, more immediate constituents he needs to mollify. Like, perhaps, management and fan of another sports team he owns.

Yup. I was in Phoenix last month, at a spring training game. I mentioned to the guy and his mom sitting next to me I was in town from Rochester, "you know, near Buffalo" and she started talking about the time she went to a Rangers game at MSG. Edit: Of course, not everybody is that ignorant of the geography of New York State, but very many people are.

Yeah, I've spent 10 years of my life living in different parts of the country, and all most people think of when you say, "I'm from Blahblah, NY," is New York City.

Over in 126 we routinely all stand up at pivotal moments and then sit down again. The crowd just seems to know what to do and I've never heard any complaints. Maybe because we're not exactly a wine (whine?) and cheese bunch over there.

I'm in as well. Good old Kelly #12. Kelly is my wife's name, and she proudly rocks a Kelly jersey on game days. So the name is doubly special in our house.

Allow me to chime in as a Blue Jays fan... Definitely no way the Rogers Centre is an NFL solution. They plan to switch to grass and make the Argonauts build a new stadium. Could a CFL and NFL team share a stadium? Doubtful. Could Toronto stomach building two new stadiums? Also doubtful. I think some people are underestimating Canada's lack of desire to supplant the CFL.

...based on?

Can we throw Tim Graham into the transaction? Then I'd be all for it.

Interesting take and I don't disagree... I'm not questioning the truth of what you say, but would like to know more: How do we know Ralph "didn't want us in primetime"?

Or, it's click bait, which is about as responsible as a lot of journalism is these days.

Oh, he's bright and articulate? Well then, he can do whatever he pleases with my favorite team.

Very nice. Thanks for the report. Good to have a man on the inside.

Right. Anyone can read between the lines and tell that was a dumb chowdahhead picking and choosing his words as carefully as his baked bean-sized brain would allow.

What a train wreck that would be... If a group with clear outside intentions buys the team, what does attendance the next six years look like?

In that case, Jello Biafra for Erie County Exec.

lol, the same joke literally made about every politician ever. Like I said, say what you will about him or anyone else, the involvement of a US Senator on this stadium committee is a good thing.

From the article: "The critical thing here is that we all have to come together as a region to make certain that we keep the Bills here," Dyster said. "If we lose the Bills, we're all losers." Say what you will about politicians, but I am glad Senator Schumer is involved in this process. I would hate for infighting at the local level to result in losing the team. Someone at the level of US Senator can more easily step in and quell bickering between cities/towns/counties. When it comes down to it, any Western New York location is better than LA/Toronto/London/the Moon, etc.

Wasn't Jimbo a regular presence at Sabres games? That would seem to be evidence in favor of that connection.

Rust Belt 4 Life. Welcome.

That would be so ridiculously amazing.

Great! Instead of having a few too many and yelling at my brother, I can have a few too many and yell at the TV!

The Cardinals and Arizona State shared a stadium for a long time. Are there other examples of an NFL and D1 team sharing a stadium? Could be a nice marketing/visibility boost for UB as they continue to build that program up.

I thought all the red seats were empty because everybody was back in the concessions area getting boozy. At least that's what I did the one time I sat in club seats.

I'm not gonna be comfortable with reports like this until names are attached to them.
