  1. I suppose.... but both categories you note will leave you with symptoms of feeling penniless with nothing to show for it, and a strange burning sensation...
  2. Perhaps - but if he didn't state that it was Josh 17, I may have thought he meant Josh McCown, or Josh Rosen, or Josh Johnson, or one of the other great Josh's that have played quarterback.
  3. This is my (and a buddy of mine) first game in person of the year, and the very first for my wife, 18 year old daughter, and my buddy's 18 year old son. Ordinarily I'd think that if it gets out of hand I picked the wrong game. No - I want the no punt 7 TD treatment so the kids can see the spectacle, and not remember that this was the time that they saw their old man shotgunning beers with strangers in the parking lot...
  4. I was. Born in 76. But am not so old that I can't see who literally carries this team and forces them to win. As amazing as Bruce was - he wasn't that.
  5. Gonna guess Kingston, Ontario. Likely colder than Buffalo on average, but less snow (even though they get lots - tough to match up against Lake Erie lake effect). But I disagree with him - Josh throws perfectly fine in sub-zero temps. The wind can be somewhat of an equalizing factor, but what are we really talking about here - we get one crazy wind game a year, at most.
  6. As the Tragically Hip once quipped about boots or hearts - "...when they start to fall apart man, they really fall apart...".
  7. Vegas, LA, and Houston are domed for purposes of heat control - could you imagine watching a game in Vegas or Houston in September in open air? Add a six pack of beer to that day and I'm in the hospital for heat stroke...
  8. Didn't Houston essentially have his contract assigned to them, and then they mutually agreed to tear it up and sign a new one? Meaning Diggs opted out of the $70M guarantee and into a new one year guarantee for $23M.
  9. This all depends on how the minority interest is acquired. If Terry sells his shares, the proceeds belong to him, along with a capital gains tax bill. If the corporation holding the team issues shares from Treasury, it dilutes Terry's ownership, without a tax bill to him. But the proceeds then belong to the team and not him. I'm oversimplifying things. Do we know how the interest is being acquired? There's a difference between team/corporate cash and personal-use cash. These aren't synonymous. Also - I would tend to think that Terry and family have had quite a substantial estate tax plan in place for quite some time, including life insurance and other tools to handle the tax on death...
  10. Wouldn't a Colts win also, in theory, boost their winning percentage, thereby also increasing the Bills' strength of schedule. A remote potential tie-breaking need, but nevertheless...
