Deshaun Watson officially requests trade from Houston
Saxum replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For Wat$on better the devil you do not know than the devil you willingly signed extension from. He appears to be following the Le'Veon Bell model. -
Mostly they justify it by being the best of the professional sports networks. They also added games to season which players say they do not want but NFLPA agrees to and players will accept the money rather than sitting out. Disney's problems about losing money is not just COVID but ESPN which viewers are abandoning and due to amount they are charging for ESPN telephone providers are putting it on high priced tiers. Some more facts on season: https://frontofficesports.com/nfl-viewership-tv-tracker-week-17-2020-regular-season/ It only addresses regular season not playoffs or Superbowl which also had decreases, some large, with multiple causes including no two week media period and home team hosting Superbowl for first time.

Jeff Bezos Linked to Washington Team Football (WTF) Sales Talk

Not unless NFL allows Krafty to own a team in AFC and NFC. Better an incompetent bungler than a competent cheater. -
Disney, NFL have a gap of more than $1 billion per year in their initial positions https://sports.yahoo.com/disney-nfl-gap-more-1-171721277.html Note: Normally I try to quote initial source but you can only get access if you have subscription, even if you are google, so using article of someone who supposedly read article and put his own slant on it. Personally I think ESPN is dead since there are a lot less subscribers to ESPN and Disney could get a lot more advertising dollars on ABC.

Quittin' Spain was all on him. He got a new contract, came into camp out of shape, Bills tried him for 2 games as starter and he was ineffective, he was made a backup for 2 games and not much more effective and then is healthy when he goes on plane to Tennessee but has foot issues when he gets off and does not play another down. At least he made an effort. Quittin' Spain had a large contract and made little effort. I hope he stewed at home being out of playoffs.

Trade up or trade back in this year’s draft?
Saxum replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think it is too early until they determine who is staying, who is going and who is available in free agency. If draft was before it would be different but it isn't. -
The clueless ones who continue whipping players who are gone and will not be back are true whipping boys.

NFL announces changes to off-season Combine / Scouting
Saxum replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2021-nfl-draft-here-are-4-ways-not-having-the-combine-will-affect-prospects-and-evaluators/ And be ready for some INSANE times and measurements. It's been difficult to trust pro days because of their exaggerating tendencies. But the combine always unearths more NFL-caliber talents who played at lower levels in college. But instances do arise when a prospect tests too poorly to be seriously considered a top-tier prospect or, unfortunately, even an NFL prospect at all. In most cases, watching film, and, not overcomplicating things, works damn well. -
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/j-j-watt-taking-his-time-choosing-new-team-references-struggle-picking-restaurants-on-doordash-as-an-analogy/ Maybe team which manages to get him endorsement contract will get him to sign.

UB won't offer scholarship to Khalil Mack's brother
Saxum replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in Off the Wall
Khalil Mack could do what other alumni do - donate money for scholarship and be on committee which decides on who gets scholarships. -
Cost to attend game, Bills are #11 (lowest)
Saxum replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
When I went to UB there were a large number of NYC area students there because it was furthest state university from NYC so mommie and daddie could pay in-state tuition for them. You could see the difference in NYC area students since most had new cars not having to take buses to classes or between campuses. Every time the Jest played every year or occasionally the Jiants played there would be large groups of students going to game and there would often be friends and family from down state joining them. In first year at college I was a freshman and freshmen did not get solo rooms and my dorm room included two students from NYC, Sunday, September 23 Bills beat the Jest and they came back drunk from it with 2 friends who could not get flights back that night. They did not bother asking if their friends could stay in our dorm room and were up late that night. Lots of classes that Monday morning had students missing and more than one professor had a pop quiz on that day knowing the pattern. -
