    I've never seen so much "The NFL is scripted" talk in my 30+ years of watching this game as i have this season.

     

    Goodell needs to take note that this is the result of a serious problem the league has with officiating.

    Maybe it wasn't a great idea for the NFL to produce it's own commercial with the premise that the league was scripted then follow that up with some of the most poorly officiated games in the history of the sport while also owning and advertising sports gambling outlets.

    Thanks for supporting the local motel 6 for the 2 weekends a year that your here. So sorry you had to fork over $6 in tolls for NYS. We understand how it feels. As far as gas money and sales tax in NY you are on your own. We didn’t ask you to come here for the games. I could say we don’t need you for the games either. But the fact is we do because we have a hard time selling the stadium out especially in the late fall and winter when the weather isn’t very good. You didn’t mention anything about the mooching off other people’s tailgates so I’m assuming I hit the nail there. And I’m sorry you had to pay triple face value for tickets to the game. But if you had seasons of your own and came up more than twice a year you wouldn’t have to do that. The unfortunate thing for your future is that the prices of everything is only going to go up even more with the new stadium. I wish you the best of luck in your future. Please keep coming and leaving your broken tables in the parking lots tho. It’s something we Buffalonians are very proud of. 

    Sorry, I don't do the tailgate thing when I come up so those tables are yours. The hatred of expats coming home to watch games is a very odd take. I apologize that I can't make it up every weekend. Of course, even if I did and had season tickets again I don't think I'd qualify for an opinion because I still don't pay enough to be allowed one because I don't own property in NYS anymore.

     

    The single most frustrating thing about Buffalonians as a person who used to be one and now looks back. You complain that you don't have things, then when you have something, you want to pay for it with green stamps, and then B word about those green stamps too. Take your gripes about the stadium and its cost up with your elected officials. When they win despite your complaints then understand you were in the minority. If you prevail, good on you.

     

    Frankly I didn't ask for a new stadium either. I like the current one but blaming out of town people for your issues with the project is off base and out of line.

    just like all the fans that don’t live in the area. Don’t have season tix. Just show up in town for 2 weekends a year. Spend roughly $600 on local wing places like Duffs, Anchor Bar, and Bar Bill. Show up to other people’s tailgates and mooch off their food. But think they have an opinion of what the stadium should be.

    Yeah, you're right. None of our tax money will fund any of this.  I distinctly recall getting a rebate check from NYS for the hotel taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, Thruway tolls, etc. from the last time I went up there.  I also remember getting a nice phone call and an envelope of cash from the season ticket holder I bought my tickets from.  Turns out I had paid more than the face value of the ticket and they returned it to me. That was awfully sporting of them. 

     

    Come to think of it, I remember about a year ago this black SUV pulled up in front of my house and some fellow named Terry and this other lady were in the back and they wanted to ask me a bunch of questions about why I personally felt about the stadium. Where it should go, what it should look like, how much should it cost, who should pay for it, you know, the standard fare.  It was all such a blur but I remember they took a lot of notes and thanked me profusely for my input as a Pennsylvanian.

    Right now they’re the lovable losers, a franchise with likeable players starving for a trophy. If they can start cashing in and winning some championships, the hatred will rise with their level of success.

    Give me allllll of the hate. Bill Belichick, Jerry Jones, Tom Brady levels of hate.

    I guess I see more Bills haters among Bills fans than anywhere else, haha.

    The things that are capable of making you the angriest are the things you love the most.

    Sorry man, win or lose I don’t like prime time games when I gotta get up at 4:30 for work.  It particularly terrible when we lose.  

    I do the same thing. I've got 300 middle schoolers lining up to break my balls when we lose. Try to enjoy it until you cant.

    The Bengals fell short, but it's going to be interesting to see where Browning ends up next year. I think he's shown enough to get a starting opportunity next year somewhere. 

    Not unless someone wants to pay the Bengals for his rights.

    I’ll throw out 2 thoughts: 

     

    1. McD probably expects the Patsies game plan to be run, run and run some more.  Given the state of their QB and WRs, that’s a decent guess.  Hence, he wants big guys up front.  

    I'd agree with this but sitting Joseph for Ford doesn't make sense if that's the plan.

    Is Florida St Ever Going to Stop Whining ?

    No, Disney/ESPN just needs to re-negotiate their rights deal with the ACC.........or the conference will fall apart.

    And they will sign a new deal with the new place that most of the teams land.  There are only so many landing places in the existing conferences.  FSU wants to go to the SEC, they'd probably need a buddy to go with them.  Who in the ACC makes sense for that? For TV it's probably Carolina or Duke but I can't see the two of them voluntarily splitting up. For football it's probably Clemson but that doesn't add the most TV money.  Possibly Miami but they don't really fit into what the rest of the SEC is school wise and IDK if Florida would be super keen on having both FSU and Miami in conference. Virginia theoretically gets you the DC TV market.  Syracuse and BC are non-starters.

     

    I think the ACC could survive without FSU and Virginia.  You'd see them pick up UCF to keep the Florida footprint maybe court WVU away from the Big 12, maybe lean on ND to become a full member.

    Clemson, Miami and UNC will follow them out........they are just letting the state school pay the legal bill.  :lol:   

    I don't think UNC walks away from Duke. I might be wrong, but UNC in the SEC would be a perpetual bottom dweller in football and they'd lose a lot in basketball. What they might make in added TV money for football, they'd risk in losing bowl eligibility basically forever.

     

    Clemson and UNC are state schools btw.
