yall

Listen to your doctors and don't take advice from fans on a message board?

I drive a truck loaded with rotten eggs and overripe tomatoes to Detroit....

Well that and the quality of something you don't have tends to be of little importance.

Look out Utica...

It sounds like you're saying "boys hole". As an aside, if El Pegula does end up buying the Bills, it's my sincere hope this goes down as the single best, most epic, feel-good thread in TBD history.

Do tell!!!

Christ on a crutch. In a thread dedicated to the possibility of some white knight riding in and saving the team, leave it to TBD to argue about the color of the saddle oh his horse.

Awful, just awful. You don't pump in pansy SteveStojan like that before a playoff game. Try some AC/DC instead of some crappy "woe is me, we deserve this" kind of tripe. Blech!

Laugh if you will, I'm convinced. I want there to be an M. Night Shamalan twist to this whole thing, where Pegula buys the team, and pays Bon Jovi to play the home opener at the new stadium.

Jesus no. Their simpy song "Better Days" ( which by the way was a rip off of "Life in a Northern Town") singlehandedly killed the Sabres.

Retractable roof would absolutely be my preference over a dome.

Very hopeful. I feel that with Pegula as an owner, our chances to host a Super Bowl might go up a bit, assuming a domed facility is in the plan.

Ha! To be fair, I'm bascailly asking other people to do my research. I should have been a professor.

So whenever the topic of fan behavior comes up, the local news (I'm thinking WGR in many cases) there is generally an assertion that its far worse than what it was in the good ol' days when we were winning. Example; Both the morning and afternoon crews often cite anecdotal evidence of increased poor fan behavior as reasons why they no longer attend games. I can't debate their personal reasons or experience, and it certainly isn't a huge leap to conclude that a poorly performing team will attract miscreants or at least people more interested in getting drunk than watching the game (personally, I do both with no problem). What I would like to know is this; beyond anecdotes, is there any fact/statistical based evidence to support this notion? Number of fan injuries reported, 911 calls, arrests, etc. Granted even some of those stats might be skewed. In 1994, how many people had a cell phone to report an incident? Have police become less lenient with pressure from the league, which in turn could impact arrest rates? It's easy to throw your hands up in frustration and exclaim that the sky is falling, but I'm not convinced. However, with some supporting data, I could be. Discuss.

In that CNN article there is a petition for the White House. Sign it. They still need ~16K signatures.

I realize it's early, and he doesn't have defenders bearing down on him looking to take his head off, but these early reports regarding EJ's throws are giving me hope. I think the season rides on his success. edit: And while I realize that statement is fairly obvious, it's been my biggest fear for the season - Will EJ actually show some measurable improvement?

It seems like half the complaints are about the poor food and beverage options, which has almost no relation to the structure itself. If they address the problems with the concourses being too narrow, update/upgrade the restrooms, and have DNC get their head out of their ass and put out a quality product, I think the renovated Ralph could be viable for many years to come.

I caught a little bit of it. Had no clue the Bills were previously known as the Bisons. Very nice job!

Thanks for the recap!

Awful. It's never easy. My condolences.

Still begs the question of why the store busted him.

70,000 fans would have been happy to buy the kid crab legs, weed, or hookers. It's not about money, he's a thief.

Awesome!

I'm annoyed by the whole thig to be honest. Granted this act is on a somewhat larger scale, but it's not like Boko Haram is new. I mean, this very administration fought amongst itself about whether or not to even include them on the terror watch list. They've been murdering, oppressing, kidnapping, and blowing sh1t up for years. Now all of the sudden it's the cause de rigueur for celebs on twitter.
