None of the alt jerseys have been shown yet either. I would guess that the road tops will have a blue collar. Very disappointed.
No alternates were scheduled to be unveiled today.
-
Either way, Bills fans are gonna butcher the name for years to come. Keuchly, Keekly, Keechly, Reif, Rieff, Rife.

While alternates and road jerseys will be marked with the same changes as the mainstay, Nike says they will not be a part of the Tuesday reveal.
Some teams who could see significant changes today are the Seahawks, Jaguars, Dolphins, Panthers and Chiefs—although, none but the Seahawks has been confirmed.

"Claims Private Investigator," who btw is trying to sell his new book. You left that out of the thread's title.

Stevie J. said in an interview a few months ago that the team will break out the blue pants this year. There has been no indication the Bills have a 3rd jersey this year. The only team expected to have a radical overhaul in their look is Seattle. Denver is making their orange alternates their primary jerseys. Jax appears to be making black its primary color.
More info can be found here.

Once Ralph Wilson dies all bets are off. He has repeatedly said that upon his passing the team will be sold to the highest bidder.
Please point out for us where Ralph has repeatedly said this.

How much resume did Calvin Johnson have when he was picked #2?
Biletnikoff Winner in 06, runner-up in 05. First team All-American 05 and 06. Not a bad resume, eh?

I agree. I'm thinking it's gotta be the same artist.
The father of the slug did not design that Bills logo. The slug was his first pro logo assignment. His story can be found here..

What I think can be learned is an unending search for the QB that can win a championship. Denver is a team that doesn't stop searching. Another example is Seattle. They trade for Whitehurst, it doesn't work out, they go get Tavaris, that doesn't work they trade for Flynn. The 49ers don't care how Alex Smith cares, they draft Kaepernick and pursue Manning. Cardinals trade a very good corner and a second round pick for Kolb, they pursued Manning.
If your search for a championship-caliber qb leads you to Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst, then I think there's something wrong with your search parameters.

He changed his mind.
or
He slipped on an ice patch in the parking lot and now the Bills are trying to get out of the contract.
or
he's on the phone right now getting advice from Dwight Howard.
My advice to you- don't quit your day job to become a comedian.

Why did Tim Russert's mother kick Mario out of her hotel?
Tim Russert's widow. Luke Russert's mother.

Who's mark?
Mark Kelsay- you know, big Gazoo helmet.

Isn't "stupid moron" an oxymoron?
An oxymoron is someone as dumb as an ox.

Somebody get Patrick Moran on this story, stat!

Since he's never been willing to do that, he's paying 17 million next year to two 7th round picks in order to keep us from sliding back to 4-12 or worse.
Yes that does make him cheap.
So if Johnson and Williams were first round picks, with the same production, it would be ok to pay them?
BTW how much money have the Patriots paid to a 6th round draft pick and an undrafted player over the last five years? (FYI that undrafted player just got franchise tagged.)
-
A third and a fourth is a stiff price for one of the best Bills draft picks of the past decade?
I believe he was going for a Levitra boner joke there.

I agree with your post and would like to add something more. Professional sports teams and their impacts can't be measured in a vacuum. Each sports team effects areas differently. Imagine Green Bay without the Packers and how devastating economically that would be.
With the Bills being the only pro sports team in town it would be damaging if they left to the hotels, airports, restaurants, etc... The impact of they have Buffalo is different from an area that has other things to offer. It is the only major ticket in town. If there were other sports teams or other draws to the area (I'm not forgetting Niagara Falls but a lot of that money is spent on the Canadian side) then the impact of them leaving would be lessened. It is THE identifying factor for Buffalo as others have pointed out. If your not from the area and mention Buffalo as others have pointed out they will either talk about snow or the Bills.
People seem to be going with a "gut feeling" that Bills' games generate significant revenue, i.e. hotels, restaurants, etc. Think about it, though. The Bills play 7 home games in a suburban stadium, away from the metro center. How many fans come from out of town? How many stay overnight in a hotel? How many out-of-towners frequent local establishments? I don't have the numbers to back any conclusion regarding WNY; neither does anyone else here.
However,
conclude that sports teams' impact on local economies is negligible at best. No, none of those studies are specific to Buffalo; however, I doubt Buffalo is that special as to stray from the norm.
The article in question states the last specific WNY study was done in 1996. What has changed since then? TV and merchandising revenue has presumably skyrocketed; however, neither affects the local economy. Players' salaries have increased dramatically; the article states players don't exactly drop alot of their cash locally. Fan spending? Well, there are fewer people going to games now, due to the decrease in seating and home games. The only real economic benefit to WNY would be if there are more out-of-town fans spending significantly more money in the local economy. That's the real question- is more out-of-town money coming into WNY, and does that off-set or exceed the cost to WNY to keep the team here?
I don't have the answer, and no one here does either.

The idea that Hamburd and OP would not suffer as the realtor suggests seems pretty riiculous to me. So you have now 60 players and their families leaving, doznes or administrative staff, dozens of coaches and their families. Ahhh, yes there are huge amounts of millionaires coming to live in OP and Hamburg if the Bills leave as it is such a growing area.
That was addressed in the article.
"Not one Realtor would be impacted by the Bills not being here," said Maureen Flavin, an agent who specializes in high-end properties and has represented several Buffalo Sabres and Bills clients over the past 20 years.
"So many of them rent, and the places they rent are highly desirable. I could rent those places out in my sleep. There are way more people who want to rent than places to rent."

The article states that installation of a grass field would then prohibit seating reconfiguration until after baseball season ends. Sounds to me like natural grass effectively ends the dream of a Toronto NFL team in the Rogers Centre, unless said team plays its first 3-4 games every year on the road. And if the Jays make the playoffs? The season would then extend indefinitely through October.

If this is still his girlfriend (this was taken when he was at Florida), then I could understand why he wouldn't hit on Maria.
GO BILLS!!!
That's not Tebow's girlfriend. She's a British "Page 3" model.

Skip to the 21:20 mark of this podcast. link
Stevie says they're rolling out the blue pants next year. The question is, will he still be in a Bills uniform?
-
And, you don't ever have enough pass rushers. .
This is pretty much the Bills' philosophy.
-
No--see MLB and NHL.
Anyway, the QB is key. If there was so much NFL caliber talent at the position available, you wouldn't have seen guys like Curtis Painter, Caleb Hanie, Josh Mckown, Tyler Palko, John Beck and Tyler Thigpen as backups.
Exactly. Back when there were only 26-28 teams the league had stellar backup QBs like Gary Marangi, Dan Manucci and David Humm.

The league modified its scheduling formula in 2010 to prevent teams from having to make too many West Coast trips.
Under the modifications implemented in 2010, clubs now only have to visit one West Coast team (AFC West or NFC West), plus one western team from the same division closer to the Midwest.
For those playing NFC West teams, some will travel to both San Francisco and Arizona in the same season, while others will instead make trips to Seattle and St. Louis.
