OJ Simpson….talk about a ‘reach’!

When Zach Ertz gets mentioned we’ll know it’s about to go down.

I'm none of those things, but I did sleep on Purple mattress last night. It's the best!

I thought I would try this…so bear with me: “Eh. I feel like small market sports franchises are having the same issues as other businesses. Nobody wants to pay big money to attend games in person when you can easily get everything you need online and it’s much easier to deal with. But big market teams will always have a home. The small market teams may soon be gone so long as online streaming continues and expands.” Not too shabby, huh? I did that thumb typing on a cell phone. 😁 Let me guess. You were hoping for some gothic columns and stone arches? 😉

No they don’t….not yet. Funny thing is that Barnes and Noble already does. While buying a paperback the other day I was asked if I was a loyalty customer, and when the guy then offered me the ‘deal’ I learned it came with an annual fee…and that was just to buy a book for $9.95. Sheeesh! 😉

Blasphemy! 😉

Yes, I only selectively read this and every thread. I jump over here occasionally going back and forth from the football side as we get closer to the draft. I’m a true Bills fan. Not sure what others are doing on here. 😉

Interesting reference to Taylor Mays. That’s a name I’d almost forgotten. He looked for all the world to be a sure thing coming out of college. And then…nope.

It’s obvious you don’t even know what your cute acronymical slur stands for. And I have no idea what the “false identity” thing is supposed to mean. Time to step away from the keyboard. (By the way…did you get your new one? 👍)

Isn’t it obvious? Beane has been monitoring the real time TSW Mock Draft and is clearly not happy with how things are panning out.

I’ll accept the apology. I know that wasn’t easy for you. Now as regards to the overly generalized MAGA slur, is it that you oppose the idea of America being great?

Nice try at backing out of it Hawk. You could just do the adult thing and admit you were wrong…which you were. But no, it’s far easier to repeat the DNC sponsored media lie in hopes of scoring cheap points with the uninformed masses. It’s not biggie, but the fact you want to double down on this clearly blatant piece of true misinformation speaks volumes….unfortunately.

How about you actually READ the story you posted? You can read, right?

Is the minor incursion over yet? I lost track about a year, thousands upon thousands of lives, and countless $$ BILLIONS ago.

Really!

Hawk…you’re not still repeating the lie that Trump called that Nazi group ‘very fine people’….are you? This has been debunked so many times that it’s beneath ANYONE to continue spreading that utter falsehood. Come on man! At some point it just has to stop. I think six years is the statute of limitations.

You’re right I haven’t but I know there isn’t a Tube station anywhere close to Batavia. 😉

I was there and remember it well. It was 2015 and yet another glorious 8-8 finish.

I actually agree with a lot of that. I’m told that the existing concrete structure itself is in terrible condition. But I’ve also heard that this is primarily in the upper desk, not the lower bowl which is built into the ground. So yes, I agree that each upper deck could have been torn down either all at once or in successive years and then rebuilt with new roof covered sideline grandstands including multi story indoor concourse structures. I’m guessing it would’ve been far cheaper.

Lighten up Francis....it's all in good fun! I guess I am interested to hear what parts of the new stadium you believe look similar to the existing stadium. One is built totally above ground, the other halfway into the ground. One has a roof, and the other doesn't. One has multiple level covered concourses, and the other doesn't. One has an exterior architectural skin, and the other doesn't. Yes....they are both stadiums, for sure, but in my opinion they aren't even close to the same. When they talk about them being the same, I believe they're referring to the 'atmosphere' of a fan-centered game experience. It's essentially marketing-speak.

Why in the world would anyone go to Batavia? There’s no way you can see Tottenham from there. If you ask me, it’ll be a waste of both your time and money.

I just noticed that too. The new stadium has a field, goal posts, and seats….just like the current one. The resemblance is downright remarkable! 😉

Huh? Because if you review the dozens and dozens of mocks that I have in other threads on this very board, you rarely, if ever, see these two players mocked to Buffalo. Just saying.

So here’s what we’ve learned from all of this: Either people on here are just messing around with their selections for other teams, or more likely the Bills are NOT getting any of the players I’ve seen mocked to them on countless hypothetical drafts on here. Sheeesh

Thanks Soft costs refers to anything not part of the ‘hard’ construction cost. Besides design fees that typically includes permit fees, inspection, furnishings, and a host of other smaller fees and costs.
