  1. Ned my man, you know that it could easily be yourself you are referring to here, right?
  2. Put yourself in the owner's shoes, it is always crowded whether you reinvest into the property or not. And "dive bar" is a thing that many enjoy. It speaks to the blue collar nature of the fan base.
  3. He didn't say NFL teams. Could be Argos, Rough riders and Roughriders.
  4. You can't see him because he is standing sideways. He is the Calista Flockhart of the NFL.
  5. I am section 113, row 17! Very fired up, can't wait for the new stadium!!!
  6. Maybe he is secretly still committed to helping the Bills win? If all it takes is for him to rot KCs locker room, I'm all for it!
  7. This feels more like a "bump in 2 years of Bishop doesn't pan out" thread.
  8. If this is you, I'm glad you are still alive, BillStime.
  9. Not the dreaded skinny fat!?!?!??!?
  10. I came wait to order mine!!! From dhgate.com
  11. I am 6'1, and the aisle can work a miracle for old knees. I love 20th row between the 30s if you can swing it. High enough to see the action but close enough to feel it.
  12. That 2003 opener REALLY fooled me, and the irony of the score in the last game of that season was humiliating.
  13. Ha, I haven't had one in my seats for 10 years!
  14. I appreciate the reasoned response. I know a bit about economics, and many academic economists will say tarriffs dont work. I agree in principle, but there is more in play than basic academic factors. Regardless, it's surely not as bleak and terrifying as you think, at least from my perspective. And to be clear, this is just my personal interpretation of things. Ultimately, we have been getting taken advantage of by our trading partners (friends and enemies) on a sizable scale both with tarriffs and with environmental aspects, causing essentially a defacto subsidizing of their economies. Its been ok because the US was so wealthy that we could afford it, and being this generous bought us a lot of goodwill internationally (at the expense of our working class and production base ,if you want proof, spend some time in downtown Jamestown NY). At some point it needed to be addressed (as do many arguably more urgent issues like SS and our insane national debt). As is often the case, Trump handled it poorly, but he was right in identifying the issue. I think he believes it will result in a massive renegotiation of tarriffs (think everyone lowering tarriffs equally), and probably in short order. If he is right, this move has the power to reset global trade and possibly make the US an actual manufacturing center again (as opposed to just a country of consumer economy), ultimately increasing our tax base, which can be used to address some of the other urgent fiscal issues facing our country. As for the goodwill aspect, this days are pretty much gone anyway, imo. If he is right in all of this, I'd say it's the opposite of short sighted. If he is wrong and nobody blinks, he will just quietly lower the tarriffs and declare a HUGE victory anyway, in true Trump form. In the short term it'll mean turmoil, posturing and higher prices on some goods. What is the long term outcome going to be? Who knows. But again, this is just my personal take on it. See my above post. I generally did the same.
