  1. Well on that we DEFINITELY agree! I’m all for keeping more for myself. But…since they’re taking the taxes anyway I’d rather have a stadium to show for it. 😉
  2. Come on Weo….Let me ask you this? What do your prefer the State does with it’s tax money? Let me guess….social service programs?
  3. I may be wrong but I’ve always figured an Offensive Guard should be able to start right away and would certainly be an every down guy. I’d love to get a couple of young guards who’d cheaply anchor the middle of the line for the remainder of Josh’s contract. It’s not flashy but it’s a solid investment.
  4. This one is more interesting than the first mock. And if I’m doing the math correctly we are only at 27 and there’s already just ONE player left with a first round rating? Seems to me that ship has sailed then. Take the player at a position of most need and cross your fingers. Based on the list in the poll there are plenty of players to choose from and your chances of picking the ‘right’ one are about as good at throwing a dart on a board, blindfolded.
  5. Yes I am. And I literally guarantee I know more about how the construction market works than you do. But go ahead, keep complaining. I’m sure your opinion has been duly noted by those in charge. 😉
  6. I’m not sure where you went to economics school but it doesn’t work that way. It is NOT a zero sum game! Using your premise, since everyone is already working, the stadium construction site will be empty. Not a single pick up truck to be found….cause everyone already has a job…or something like that. (Please excuse the snarky tone, but I think we ALL know by now that you hate the very idea of the project.)
  7. Trust me….All of the sight and lighting lines will be studied, especially those important to television. The modern NFL is basically a big TV show after all.
  8. Oh brother. So you’re saying that NY State based contractors won’t be working on the stadium. Sure they won’t. The workers are all going to drive in from California every day. It’ll be a long day but it’s good work if you can get it.
  9. I’ve mentioned this many times in the past on this topic. The stadium is at its core a large construction project. The money that goes into essentially stays right in WNY and is pumped right back into the local economy via construction worker’s paychecks who then use that money to buy goods, products and services right there in WNY, of which a large percentage goes right back into the State’s coffers in the form of property, sales, and income taxes. I’m sure it doesn’t make you feel any better, but is the absolute truth. There’s virtually no better investment of State money than a construction project.
  10. For those that want to sit under a roof, might I suggest that you purchase tickets that are…what’s the phrase I’m looking for….oh yeah…UNDER THE ROOF!
  11. I almost posted a screenshot on Saturday morning. The Tottenham stadium was on USA Network. If the new Bills stadium looks anywhere near as nice as that one does on television you’ll be just fine.
  12. Josh appears to be carrying his iPad in his left hand. Does this say anything about his throwing elbow? Hmmm?
  13. Alright, alright already…. I’ll buy the darn team! But I’m absolutely NOT promising you guys a roof if that’s what you’re thinking. 😁
  14. I’m not going to take you as an expert on the Republican Party but yes it’s true that the President always has an influence. With that said, Trump was essentially non existent prior to 2015, and nobody gave him a shot in 2016. The rest of my comments still stand and it’s abundantly clear that you know pretty much nothing about the movement he’s inspired. By the way I noticed how you changed my comment about Trump not calling out Left leaning voters, to YOUR words of “private citizens”….which is NOT what I said. Nice try though!
  15. I’m aware…that’s why I laughed at your post. (Although that emoji can be taken in different ways.) This offseason has gone almost exactly as I saw it going. Beane had very little wiggle room unless he wanted to risk tearing it down, to build it up. I think OBD chalked 2022 up to injuries, weather, etc. They’ve decided to let it ride for one more year. I’d still love for someone to post and pin a summary.
  16. Why is this news? He said this some time ago. He was careful to indicate that he didn’t see prison time but instead some sort of deterrent to breaking a law. Should we not have deterrents? Isn’t that a key point of having laws? Oh wait….I guess it isn’t anymore.
  17. When we were kids we lived in a Tonawanda subdivision called Green Acres. We were sure that the show would be about our neighborhood…but nope! It was not to be. 🙁
  18. Thanks for the effort Kemp….seriously. Where I believe most on the Left go wrong is that they think the allegiance is to Trump, the person. Right or wrong, the allegiance you’re seeing is from those who feel they’ve gotten and are getting screwed by a political class, and their media lapdogs. If you’ll notice, Trump rarely if ever attacked the Left leaning voters. His focus is always on establishment politicians, lifer bureaucrats, and the media that run cover for them. He is not prone to calling citizens deplorable, nor has ever written them off. On the contrary, his famous line to them was ‘what do you have to lose?’. So…in short the ‘cult’s’ allegiance is NOT to Trump, the person, but rather to his underlying message. Right or wrong.
  19. I’ve actually been thinking the same thing. I guess this is what it looks like when you’re handcuffed by the salary cap. (This Board still hasn’t come to grips with that economic reality.) I’m sure it’s on here somewhere but I’d love to see somebody pin and post a summary of all our roster, losses, cuts, and signings by position with a just a little over a week now before the Draft.
  20. So everyone gets their own urinal! 👍
  21. It’s now ‘weird’ for people to gather in prayer for a public figure who is ill? No offense, but I hope I never get to the point where I either assume or feel that way.
  22. Is this even debatable? Tre White is a far better cornerback than Mahomes ever would’ve been.
  23. The issue is whether a Doctor or School Advisor might be going rogue and enticing under age ‘patients’ to seek treatment without parental consent. When this becomes a habit of care, it could be opined that a governmental agency needs to step in. At that point it seems it should not be left to a single child’s parents…again, no?
  24. I’m not sure where this ‘take’ is coming from. Out of curiosity, I went on the church’s website and found there is ZERO charge for tickets to the event. They appear to simply want people to gather to pray for Mrs Pegula and want to make sure the crowd doesn’t overflow the building. I see nothing wrong with that. Do you know something else?
  25. So the doctor’s abuses of the US gymnastics teams should have been handled how exactly? Seems like there are times when the government agencies have to get involved. No?
