...so that would be LAST year and THIS year??............

...they're copying MY style.......it's Morse Code....can't you translate??........

...I'd fire whoever wrote that business plan in a nanosecond.......I'm a 43 year bean counter for multiple, successful companies and my sorry azz would be on the street for it....Jesus....

...see if she's liking the Argos right in your back yard......

...pretty darn good assessment bud...I see McBeane (FWIW, probably nothing) as a diabolical, methodical long term planner.....I'd bet he is formulating his 2019 Big Board BUT has already started sketching 2020 as to what collegians may be available as well as possible UFA's, factoring in an estimated cap number......could even see a 3 or 4 year matrix charting all contracts, so he knows effects of 2019 FA spendings, eventual player(s) option years as well as financial impacts of 2019 draft picks longer term depending on round/contracts, including long term cap implications....."Bo knows" and "McBeane knows"....think the "F Troop" that ran the show post Polian did this?.....um, okay............

...Seattle WAS a really cool city, but it is slowly becoming Washington State's 'Frisco dump.......Drury's wife did it about him re-signing with Sabres...hence, off to the Big Apple and Rangers......Ralph lost his wit and offered Cowher $10 mil a year as Bflo's HC......the late Mrs. Cowher nixed that about living in Bflo......may be hard to believe, but wives control the.....______.....it's a PG-13 site.................

...join the crowd....USFL, NFLE. XFL I and soon to be XFL II.....no "David" has yet to beat "Goliath" other than the NFL-AFL 1970 merger.......

.....seriously?......some moves up work and others don't....likewise some moves down work (including the extra pick) and others don't (including the extra pick).....what the hell does Whaley or Sammy have to do with ANYTHING in 2019?...Jesus.........still grinding THAT ax................

yup...pony up $262 mil because of ONE player?.......seriously?.....THAT is laughable...thank God you're not MY financial advisor......SMH..........

...hardly the key to league success.....if (and I'm NOT saying it) the AAF opinion is that you're watching practice guard type or less players and they're folding the tent, HS players won't draw flies..........

....lesson NOT learned??......... WWE's Vince McMahon sells $272M in stock to fund XFL By Thomas BarrabiPublished March 29, 2019SportsFOXBusiness WWE chairman Opens a New Window. Vince McMahon sold shares of the wrestling company worth roughly $272 million to help fund the XFL’s relaunch Opens a New Window. in 2021, the company disclosed in an SEC filing on Friday. McMahon sold more than 3.2 million shares of WWE’s Class A common stock at a price of $84.87 each. Proceeds from the stock sale will be used to fund initiatives for Alpha Entertainment, a McMahon-led offshoot that serves as XFL’s parent company.

...uh oh......Rico here "idolizes" Whaley and I hear foot steps......

....$17 mil timeout?......his total career cash with the 'Hawks through 2019 is $93 mil.......so you draw a line in the sand and hold a gun to their head?....as if they would NOT do the right thing eventually.....another diva.........

...state by state sports gambling is a slow roll out process.... PA is .brutal....our company had to get licensed by PA Gaming Commission to do construction work in the casinos.....$12,000 application fee...had to go through TWO NYS Police and PA State Police background checks, fingerprinting, FBI background check and a one hour "face to face" interview with examiners as well as providing personal financial statement, etc.....NYS has nothing like that....not sure about other states......any company wanting to enter the sports gambling business in PA has to submit to these rigors......examiners are flying to Europe because companies there want entry into PA sports gaming market.....

...hope so....but it's still mind boggling to have ponied up $250 mil and suspend operations 10 days later....had to be one helluva business plan.....and why not pull it apart in detail BEFORE the $250 mil....guessed I missed the memo.......

....pony up $250 mil and suspend operations 10 days later?...did Madoff get out?...........

...good find...thanks.........

The AAF will suspend all football operations Posted by Mike Florio on April 2, 2019, 12:48 PM EDT It’s not over. But it’s close. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Alliance of American Football will be suspending all football operations within the next few hours. The league won’t be folding, yet. But it seems to be moving in that direction. The move comes in the aftermath of ominous comments from Tom Dundon, who became majority owner of the AAF several weeks ago. Dundon committed $250 million in funding to the league, but he had the ability to pull funding, and he obviously has.

Dundon: Decision on future of AAF could come tomorrow Posted by Mike Florio on April 1, 2019, 4:43 PM EDT In the aftermath of Alliance of American Football majority owner Tom Dundon acknowledging last week that the AAF may not make it to year two, PFT reported that the AAF may not make it to the end of year one — and that this past weekend of games could be the last. Dundon said Monday that a decision on whether the plug will be pulled could come as soon as Tuesday. He told Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Daily that, without an agreement to use NFL players, there’s a “real possibility” the league will close its doors. “Trying to figure that out so I will have more information tomorrow,” Dundon said. “It’s pretty fluid. It’s day to day, I would say.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/04/01/dundon-decision-on-future-of-aaf-could-come-tomorrow/

...as we in construction would say, two key words are "change orders"......and the financial magnitude can and usually is never ending....who funds those?... ...BUT....popcorn is ala carte............

..who really gives a rat's azz who drafted who anyway?....this "my guys versus their guys" crap is nauseating as hell......if we waste time purging "their guys" solely for the purpose of purging "their guys", we have the WRONG egotistical people in charge...didn't Wrecks needing "his guys" set us back 2 years?...Jesus.....

.LMAO.......damn you're painful..........

...from a revitalization and aesthetics perspective, the idea sounds fantastic...but, without MAJOR Federal funding for interstate overhaul, I'm just thinking you're talking about a logistical nightmare......due to the Harbor, downtown possible location is only three directions accessible...probably a worst case or not even feasible occurrence, but imagine Bills downtown for TNF, Sabres in town and 50,000 downtown workers trying to get home....infrastructure work would be in the BILLIONS and with the way THEY move, I could see funding and INITIAL design done by 2042......stadium opening by 2048.......

NFL trade rumors: Here’s an Eagles deal for Browns’ Duke Johnson that makes some sense Updated 2:52 PM; Today 2:35 PM-NJ.com The Eagles have already traded for one running back. Perhaps they might pursue another. Last week, the Eagles acquired Jordan Howard from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2020 conditional sixth-round pick. It didn’t come entirely as a surprise, as the Eagles had been tied to two running backs in particular in the trade market since the official start of the offseason in March. Taking all of that into consideration, here’s one swap involving Johnson that I think makes some sense. Eagles get: RB Duke Johnson, Browns 2019 fifth-round pick (No. 170) Browns get: RB Corey Clement, Eagles’ 2019 fifth-round pick (No. 163) and a 2020 seventh-round pick (via Buccaneers) https://www.nj.com/eagles/2019/04/nfl-trade-rumors-heres-an-eagles-trade-for-browns-duke-johnson-that-makes-some-sense.html
