  1. I guess that all makes you a land improvement expert, that & living a mile from a failed stadium project from 40 years ago.
  2. I can tell by your instant defense of the situation that it means the world to you. I didn't realize that only one set of plans could possibly be working at the same time, so assuming that no one else could of had a chance to design another stadium concurrently seems a little naive on your part. Another factor is that a previous decade of design work usually will have a tendency to bleed over into the following decade. You see it more where they build many new homes & structures with the changes that abound over the years. Since no one in Buffalo really ever builds or buys a new home because the communities are mainly established, that wouldn't be obvious. So, I'll cut you some slack for things you couldn't possible understand & your lack of tact.
  3. The styling sure looks as modern as the 60's to me. Maybe because they started engineering it for years, starting in the 60's. Hey, what do you know.
  4. This whole spin was said to frighten the owners, which I think it did.
  5. This was my exact point. If games are missed & that revenue is lost, how can the owners still pay out the same amount ?? It's actually making me wonder if the owners thought their end of this through fully, trying to force missed games based on the way they made the schedule.
  6. I think Ralph Wilson Stadium says welcome to 60's without the cheap acid trip to enjoy yourself.
  7. Did you see his Marcell Dareus / parking lot in the wind picture ?? It looks like Marcell stopped by a local cemetary & dug up somebody to take a picture or as Rodney would say, the graveyard is 2 blocks to the left.
  8. LOL, witty. As Yoda would say: Motives alternative I see you have.
  9. The same Thomas Golisano that is based out of FL & has owned multiple mansions there? Does this mean he is still local, especially after selling the Amerks / Sabres to cut ties with Buffalo ??
  10. This is what's important:
  11. 2010 EBITDA: $28.2 Million http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/30/football-valuations-10_Buffalo-Bills_301765.html So Ralph could afford to pay $6 Million to remodel & still have plenty of change left over.
  12. If the NFL player has a certain guaranteed contract for a year & they end up only playing 8 games, does he get half the money ?? I can see this coming up as a problem if the NFL decides to wait to cancel the games & then by the time they get their act together, half the season is lost. You know the players will want their money but the owners by their own accord only have ~half a season worth of ticket sales / revenues separate of the TV contracts. I feel that if the owners plans of missing games come to pass, the deal might not be financially be able to fly because of the owners lost revenues versus what is contractually owed.
  13. Maybe the NFL rescheduling games for Mexico as a neutral site & needed someone that spoke their language ?
  14. This is what real money does to help attract new talent & make the players more comfortable for a winning attitude. One might think that a video theatre to help review plays would help as well, the Bills one is on it's last tube as they cut the staff's pay. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/sabres-nhl/article434016.ece
  15. Cue the "take this job & shove it" background music.
  16. I have found drinking last weeks game away gets me to next weeks, needless to say Monday was a long day.
  17. Dareus is a class act that looks to become an inspiration to new generations of fans, way to go Hulk !!
  18. 50 years ago, he ran it like a pro. Business has changed but not in Buffalo, it never will.
  19. Too Much male love here, pass.
  20. I'm sure Stevie does, then you can see who the real #1 WR is on the team.
  21. We won 2 of the last 4 games, which ended up being half our wins with Lee out.
