It is satire. Not able to press any charges for someone doing satire. When jauronimo said "I'm 100% serious all the time". That was sarcasm.

Should We Make a Run @ Le'Veon Bell in 2019?
cba fan replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree the draft is the answer. RB's traded do not have a good recent history as a difference maker. Let McDermott and Beane groom our next drafted RB. I wouldn't let Shady groom my dog. -
Should We Make a Run @ Le'Veon Bell in 2019?
cba fan replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No no no and no. He is on a crusade to fight for higher RB wages that he thinks NFL unjustly stifles. The Steelers tried to make him the highest pd RB in NFL history and he would not accept. Why would he accept a Bills offer? Bills could never afford a 15 mill per yr approaching 30 yr old RB. And his dancing and hesitating MO behind o-line blockers at line of scrimmage waiting for an opening would put him 6 ft under with Bills line skills. -

Would you take this bet on Buffalo sports?
cba fan replied to Fadingpain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would do the bet for this upcoming season only if I was the other guy who gets the $200 -
Swan was awesome. Still remember him. And Skip Lockwood a close second fav.

I agree with your well thought out post. I was mainly attacking the thought of those who say 'its not my money why worry" and why that is an error in thinking in a salary cap context. I kind of hijacked the OP a little sideways. The Star signing fills a need and I like him on Bills. Did they overpay? Not sure, but likely, as many day one FA signings are an overpay.

My point is: Bills fans want the team to spend the salary cap money wisely so fans get better value at a better price for the product they purchase. We all get it is not our money in a salary cap context. on your point above: EX: If WalMart tricks out their semi's with color change paint, glow lights under the chassis, bouncing shocks, mega expensive sound system, oversized polyester mannequin of Mr Walton on top of trailers, etc etc...….and because of that spending they must raise the cost of milk by 3 dollars a gallon, I have every right to complain that is stupid. Of course I could just stop buying milk but they are the only store in area selling it as they have a monopoly. Seriously this is a salary cap issue. If team spends salary cap unwisely then team will not be as good as they have less money to acquire and keep good players, product will be poor, and I am less likely to buy it. Assuming you are a Bills fan: would you say "I don't care" if Bills spent 99% of the salary cap on Aaron Maybin. ?

So many fans state this and they are completely wrong every time. It is your money if you do any of the following: pay taxes in WNY, buy any Bills merchandise/collectibles, Bills tickets, food in stadium, support outlets that show Bills content like Sunday Ticket, any tv showing Bills games, CBS, ESPN, radio stations etc etc...…...

Yeah.....I guess.......if you call getting herpes smart. And giving a basket of gifts in the hired car when girls leave in the morning after a one-nighter, including a signed baseball and a pic. Creepy man. Jeter of course does not deny it just says it is a dumb story. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/11/derek-jeter-gift-baskets-rumor

oh no! Scott Berchtold is giving away the desk!
cba fan replied to Tisker A Tasker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No. I think you have the inner workings of a curse mixed up. Berchtold took the desk with him to Buffalo when he switched from working for Green Bay to his new job with the Bills. This would have angered the Football God known as Vince Lombardi that he would curse the Buffalo Bills for holding this desk. IE: Bills should lose to Packers every time they play in Buffalo where the desk is. This did not happen for reasons unknown as Bills beat Packers all the time in Buffalo. I can only surmise this desk is a fake and Vince never used it, or, alternately, Vince has no power from the grave/afterlife. If desk is authentic, why would Vince put a curse on Packers for a former employee taking his desk? Curse should be brought upon the team the employee brought it to. or War Memorial or Rogers Centre. -
What are your favorite football nicknames?

I started that Nebraska joke. In early 80's. -
Not really. Most bars with best TV setup for sports is more restaurant than bar. You get a table and order food without alcohol. Then when done you can usually stay at table unless they are very busy in which case then just go to the bar and have a drink. I go with a group of friends and several can not drink alcohol due to health reasons. No one working in the bar cares one bit. The drinkers order plenty anyway if they did care.

A big bar has all the games on. If you limit alcohol intake the bar becomes affordable.

Is your Dad the reason you’re a Bills fan?
cba fan replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes he is. He did not have a favorite team so I had to choose my own. -

I never recalled a bad long snap by Bills since Joe was cut. -
All NFL Contracts Should Be Performance Based ...
cba fan replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think anyone is suggesting the salary cap would be abolished. The players collectively, including those injured, would still share the players portion of all defined income via the current salary cap. The plan suggested by several would just redistribute some(but far from all) salary away from underperforming and injured players and into the rightful hands of players who produce and are available. Virtually every NFL contract has some guaranteed portion. Some have salary itself guaranteed, some have sign bonuses that are paid out on signing so are same as guaranteed. For those low end guys who do not get a sign bonus I agree wholeheartedly they should have a portion guaranteed or given a sign bonus. Even practice squad players should get a reasonable severance pay when cut. -
All the Bills have for loss of Darby is rookie Harrison Phillips. I would rather have Darby.
