I'm not sure dude. Bills/Pegulas money is just as green as ours!

Are the Bills matching the fan donations?

$17 donated. Dalton probably wishes now that the curse was 87 years old! My Business Name : In Memory of the Flutie Curse. R.I.P.

Exactly!

I slipped on my own ejaculate and pulled a hammy.

Del Rio lost control of the animals on his team. Look at that idiot Lynch and Crabtree suspensions.

So it is a fact that the NY taxes hurt the Bills. Thank you.

No it didn't. Please don't pollute this site like you did on BBMB. And don't insult the members of this site by calling them not serious about the Bills.

I find this funny. Here is a good example. I have bought three houses. During the negotiations we were often haggling over $5, 10K. Pretty easy to give away $5K in the blink of an eye. But two weeks later, if some dude walked up to me and asked me for 5 bucks I would have laughed in his face.

McDermott and Beane understand me.

Did you watch Dareus play?

Not true. One game each against the Jets and Pats. Also high tax states.

I know. That is a big deal and it hurts not only the players but anybody in the building trades. Check your spelling. Simple math. I have an equal offer from a Florida team or the Bills. Unless you are a moron you take the offer from the Florida team.

OK that's a really good point. So not only do you need to factor in where you play your home games but also who is in your division. I'm sure these agents must consider it. A little embellishment on my part. But, don't forget all the other taxes and fees. Sales tax is a good example.

I have to imagine it hurts any team that is in a state that has high income taxes. Why would you play in NY and pay 20, 30, 40% of your salary to the state when you could go to Florida and keep it all.

If I am free agent X and I have a choice between signing with the Dolphins, where there are no state income taxes or signing with the Bills, I have to imagine that I am going to have to ask for more money from the Bills to cover the cost of my income taxes. So at the end of the day that will eat more into the salary cap and the Dolphins have a huge advantage. Does the NFL adjust for this in the salary cap in any way? Yes. I am bored.

If you had 20,000+ posts on BBMB you were allowed to post anything. Anything less and the moderators treated you like you stole from the handicapped. Place was dominated by jack holes who also probably killed themselves after the board shut down. Thanks to 2BD.

BBMB sucked. Mods probably committed suicide over their loss of power after that dump shut down. This place is way better.

115 likes out of almost 10K posts. Hmm.

We are going to beat the Pats. Then we will lose to the Dolphins and miss the playoffs. This is the Buffalo Bills and that is how things go down. They Rip your freaking heart out. Can't take anymore pain. Can't. No more pain. For the love of God.

Bush is a cheating piece of garbage. Adios loser.

Gilmore is softer than a pillow. What a wimp.

NCAA investigation and lawsuits[edit] In 2006, reports surfaced raising questions about whether Bush's family received gifts in violation of NCAA policies.[12][13][14] The school requested that the conference investigate the matter, and Bush denied any impropriety. Sports agent Lloyd Lake sued Bush and his family in November 2007 for not repaying over $290,000 in gifts. Lake also agreed to cooperate with the NCAA.[15] In April 2009, the Los Angeles Times reported that the NCAA had merged its investigations of Bush and former USC basketball player O. J. Mayo into a single probe of the Trojans athletic programs.[16] On December 28, 2009, it was announced that Bush had lost his bid for confidential arbitration in this matter and that the case would proceed to trial.[17] The case was settled in April 2010.[18] On June 10, 2010, the NCAA announced major sanctions against USC. The NCAA found that Bush had received lavish gifts from Lake and his partner, Michael Michaels, from at least December 2004 onward, including a limousine ride to the 2005 Heisman Trophy presentation. As a result, USC was given four years of probation and forced to vacate its last two wins of the 2004 season – including the 2005 Orange Bowl – as well as all of its wins in the 2005 season. The Trojans were also banned from bowl games in 2010 and 2011 and lost 30 scholarships over three years. Running backs coach Todd McNair was banned from off-campus recruiting for one year after the NCAA determined he had known about Bush's dealings with the agents. McNair sued the NCAA for damages related to his dismissal and the NCAA lost. The judge in the case found the NCAA conducted the USC investigation and that of McNair with "malice".[19] The NCAA also forced USC to permanently disassociate itself from Bush.[20][21] The NCAA determined that, given Bush's high-profile status, USC should have invested more effort in monitoring Bush's relationships. In announcing the penalties, NCAA infractions committee chairman Paul Dee said, "High-profile players merit high-profile enforcement."[22] On July 20, 2010, incoming USC president Max Nikias stated that the school would remove from its facilities all jerseys and murals displayed in Bush's honor, and would return the school's copy of Bush's Heisman Trophy.[23] On August 12, USA Today reported that Bush had called USC's new athletic director, Pat Haden, and apologized for making poor decisions that led to the NCAA sanctions.[24] However, in a subsequent report in the Los Angeles Times, Haden said that the characterization of Bush's call as an "apology" was incorrect; Haden described it as "a conversation of him being contrite, but not an apology", and he also noted that Bush had not admitted to any specific wrongful acts.[25] Amidst reports that the Heisman Trophy Trust would strip his award,[26] Bush in September voluntarily forfeited his title as the 2005 winner.[1][2] The Heisman Trust decided to leave the award vacated with no new winner to be announced.[27] The San Diego Hall of Champions sports museum returned the copy of the award it possessed back to Bush's parents in 2011.[28] Bush eventually returned his trophy to the Heisman Trust in 2012.[
