  1. It’s interesting you share that photo. I can see a monetary civil judgement if once again you were financially damaged by the defendant. For example, if you killed the family breadwinner but were found innocent of criminal charges, then that loss of income would be cause for a civil remedy. That doesn’t seem to be the case here, or in OJ’s case either for that matter.
  2. As has been said many times, ‘anyone can sue you for anything’ but these cases always bother me. If you were financially damaged by someone then I can see the purpose and remedy provided by a civil suit. But, suing someone because you failed in an attempt at criminal charges has never seemed appropriate to me. Nor in my opinion, is it the intent of the law.
  3. As others have said, the timing of this is obvious. But what most are missing is that the Plaintiffs attorney probably convinced his client to bring charges right now, before McDs defensive strategy goes full Elam on the young man. 😉
  4. Nice work on this . I immediately went to the AFC East predictions but living in Southern California couldn’t help take a peek at the LA Rams. I remember a year ago when people said the Rams were going to be a total disaster having put all the chips in to win a Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium a year or two previously ….and yet somehow (if Corta is right) they’re right back as top contenders to do it….again. Is this observation Bills related? Yes. Can it please be our year in 2025? Please! It just shouldn’t be this darn hard…dammit! Go Bills
  5. In all the many years I spent pushing a lawnmower around my parents WNY lawn never once did I think to myself that it was really hard to grow grass in Buffalo. 😂
  6. This is a message board devoted to chatting about a football team. You don’t actually think that anything posted on here is intended to change anything, do you? Just keep smiling. It’ll all be okay. 😉
  7. What are the odds that nieve is incorrectly spelled?
  8. That original scoreboard was cutting edge at the time. Looking back it was really just a bunch of light bulbs, but nobody had ever thought you could watch replays while sitting in the stadium. The picture quality was horrible but if you squinted you could almost tell what was on the ‘screen’. 😂
  9. I’ve mentioned this quite a few times. Seat width and row spacing are probably the two biggest impacts on game day comfort but are often overlooked in the design process. Row spacing is determined very early on and is extremely hard to change later on. Seat width comes from the seating manufacturer and can change up until the last minute …but it has huge impact on seating capacity.
  10. It may be different in different States because it is the case in California, where I served as the President of a large corporation for years. We were required to designate Officers of the Corporation every year. It was a standing action item on our Board Agenda. Regardless, even if it isn't the case in every State, then the term President has even less standing or authority. It is essentially just something somebody puts on their business card. And as I've said, I have absolutely no opinion on the Pegula's one way or the other. You clearly do.
  11. I’ve often wondered about that. I’ve never played a professional sport and certainly not at the NFL level. What’s it feel like for the 3rd string QB to sit right next to Josh in the locker room knowing that he makes more for throwing a single pass than you’ll make all season?
  12. Lots of companies pride themselves in having a flat management style. There’s probably way less that don’t. My point was that President is a legal/business/corporate term. Corporations are required to designate someone as the President. If memory serves, they’re also required to designate somebody as the Secretary. But the latter term doesn’t mean they’re supposed to bring the President coffee. 😉
  13. Let me jump in and settle it….The Sabres suck and have for way too long. 😉
  14. I assume your problem is with the word ‘relegated’? It’s not at all uncommon for a high level corporate officer to have come from a specific specialty (ie marketing) within the company. BTW: “President” is a corporate title required by law to be named once you declare yourself to be a corporation for tax purposes. It does NOT mean that you’re everyone’s boss.
  15. Gregg, are there any buildings you visit (movie theater, restaurant, department store, fitness center) where the customers don’t pay for the building while they’re inside consuming the product that they’re there to purchase? There’s a valid argument here to be made that the government shouldn’t have chipped in to subsidize it. But that’s another discussion.
