  1. At the risk of a serious comment here, I was in Vegas prepandemic, and had a long talk w an ex NFL player who was working there. His fear was none of the items discussed here. He was afraid that the Raiders fan base would follow them from Oakland or whereever, and bring a wave of Thugs into Vegas. That would ,in his opinion, keep the legit non thug customers of Vegas away....and hurt the overall appeal of the city to visitors. I haven't heard about that effect, but, who knows what is going on "on the ground" out there.
  2. Talking to Daboll before the season is over would be tampering imho. Does anybody believe that will be treated that way? Not me for one......
  3. There used t o be a section on this website with that infor....past days anyhow. Don't know now.
  4. The draft game has a lot of chance built in. Redoing and earlier draft...ok....but, who knew Allen lasts until #7 the next year? I would have bet against that. The Bills lucked out imho.
  5. Politicians have to look at the downtown alternative. Of course, the location is terrible but politicians will be politicians. Should the politicians try to call the Pegula's out on the situation, the Pegs can argue their contribution should be limited to what their share of the OP alternative is, as they don't want to go downtown. All in all, I have seen this movie before, and this remake bores me. Decision Dialog Risk Management is a respected method fyi. Alphabet hash!
  6. I am doing this right now. I actually bought the RCA top of the line amplified antenna w signal meter. About 50 bucks, and I pickup about 50 OTA channels. For the Bills game in WNY, ABC7 will have the game. When in Fl (next game after Tuesay) I have NFL sunday ticket on the house.
  7. Yes, I noticed that also. Dorsey needs to get to him and fix that.
  8. Yes, I called Monday. Long time directv customer......I had free ST last year. Ask why I didn't get it this year, and they gave it to me immediately, at zero cost. The squeeky wheel gets the grease they say.
  9. Yes, the Athletic is looking for a "partner"...allegedly talked to the NY Times (their sports is weak) I read. But, I disagree they will keep two reporters on Buffalo. Joe B does a great job, and is the reason I subscribed to the A in the first place. I never accepted the dual coverage although I admit Fairburn was doing acceptable journalistic work. I am good with just Joe B covering the Bills for that outlet.
  10. Of course, Bocce Club Pizza is an institution in WNY. Several locations, I don't know the southtowns, as we are from northern haunts.
  11. Its about the money.....they will get paid no matter what. Professional objectives are far down the list....that includes the fans.
  12. Jets trade for Shaq Lawson Saw on Yahoo...can't do link
  13. Eli won two and was still trashed by the NY Media his last years.
  14. Better late than never imho. On a more serious note, I think the Bills team environment has a flaw.....they are being to nice to each other....the leaders that are vaccinated need to call out the unvax folks for risking the season team result. Now, a religious objection is something else, but I would be looking at the fine print on the player contract and the league/players assoication contract. I was once in a corporate environment like that, where the team was to nice to each other....we got called out by an external advisor, and we stepped up our game in terms of internal constructive criticism. (pushed each other)
  15. Duke may yet be practice squad material, despite his short comings. Stevensen is interesting for sure, speed kills as they say.
  16. Not gonna happen. He is likelly a mid level starter in the NFL. He took less money to come to Buffalo and tutor under Daboll. MT saw the J Allen success and wants to know what that is all about!! He will get a bigger multi year deal....and, perhaps, go with Dabs to another gig.
  17. Stub Hub is OK, h ave used in the past. The NFL ticket exchange is good but its more expensive in my experience. (used to be run by Ticketmaster). Some places you will be OK wearing Bills gear, but some places not. Don't wear Bills gear in Pittsburg we know from experience. On one trip to Baltimore we ended up in the section for the Bills players families, who do sit in one section. I have not heard of a visitors section however. Good luck, tiks should be available in Jv.
  18. I attend a game in the 80's after the players strike....one week of practice...Bills at home against the Phins. It was the worst display of pro football I ever saw....but, the money was more important than putting a good product on the field. This was Kelly era timing, I think. Anyhow, the notion vets can come in and play is wrong...they need the camp and some tuneup or they will put on a shameful display of football like I saw that day.
  19. Jon Gruden: Zay Jones taking advantage of opportunities with Raiders (yahoo.com)Jon Gruden: Zay Jones taking advantage of opportunities with Raiders (yahoo.com) Can't get the link to copy. Sorry.....
  20. Ford Field is a great venue, and likely lots of A/C. The only time I was there was in april for a non sports event, but thought highly of it as an NFL field. Not so much the area around it, but, good football place.
  21. Only for 2020 season as far as I know. I was one of those who got the free Sunday ticket. No word on the 2021 season, however. I am watching the Bills/Lions tonight on Directv 212 NFL network for free however. And, I am in Florida right now.
