  1. How is this different than 50 other threads other than BADOLBILZ wanting to hang him from his dreads?
  2. Maybe the Bills are planning on repackaging them at higher prices if they can sell the other higher priced tickets?
  3. This airline charges per pound http://flyderrie-air.com/ Make sure you scroll to bottom of website to read the 'fine print'.
  4. Yes they did and it did not do well so they decided to go with a new direction and try again.
  5. Those who buy extra tickets to scalp to opposing never had souls.
  6. I have been advocating it for several years. Still possible to get them when season tickets sales are done but difficult. Oakland Raiders would probably be a good game but decision needs to be made quick.
  7. It does and it will. Many of the scalpers are Bills fans who try to make some money on the side to pay for their tickets. Selling a ticket you are not going to use because it is part of a season ticket package is different than buying extra to get kickbacks from ticket scalpers selling to opposing fans.
  8. Everybody is using the term "Hit and Run" like driver was already convicted in it. The term "Hit and Run" is used in a lot of situations including those in which a person was in a blindspot of a vehicle and driver never saw or heard anything and did not notice anything until they saw damage to vehicle. It is a category meaning damage / injury without stopping. There was a local incident where a construction worker's truck hit someone and he did not even notice any damage to vehicle or person and this was during the day when lighting is good. Police initially labelled it a "Hit and Run" but when news reported the license plate if the vehicle he called his company who put him touch with corporate attorney who contacted police. Three weeks later he still had not been contacted by police and he was not a football player. Let it be resolved by police and process.
  9. Only season tickets they are currently selling now: LL2 / UD Center rows 1-20 US $480.00 Corners LL / UD Corners rows 1-20 US $408.00 Tunnel EZ/ UD Ctr rows 21-38 US $360.00 SB Endzone Levels 1 and 2 US $320.00 UD Corner Rows 21-38 US $280.00 I was considering buying one season ticket and specified one so if you are looking for more there may be less available.
  10. So we dumped him and he became a dandy player for Cardinals. Scheme, fellow linemen or coaching? or did Gandy remake himself? http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10851305 Arizona Cardinals Best player: RG Deuce Lutui. Weak link: Center Al Johnson. The skinny: This is a unit that improved greatly in 2006. And with right tackle Levi Brown now in his second season it should be even better. Lutui developed into a quality guard last season and left tackle Mike Gandy was a pleasant surprise. They do need to block better for the run game. Rating: 22 http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/10843371 Arizona Cardinals Underrated: LT Mike Gandy. He shocked a lot of people, including this writer, with how well he played last season in his first with the Cardinals. He helped the line make big strides from the previous season. And before you say Pete is full of bull lets hope he is right: If you're looking for a surprise team, you might want to look for a non-playoff team from last season that is in the top 15 in the overall line rankings. It's all about the lines in the NFL. Bills were ranked 15 in terms of OL by him.
  11. One of the first major June 1 cuts Henry signed a five-year, $22.5 million deal in 2007 and was considered to be the running back who would be the perfect fit for Shanahan's running offense. Included in the deal was a $6 million signing bonus. Henry restructured his contract after the season and took more than $11 million in pay reductions. The move put his contract in very simple terms: He was making $1 million a year in base and $100,000 annually in workout bonuses. Financially, the Broncos had him as a starting running back at backup money. But apparently, Henry's off-the-field issues outweighed the finances and he was released.

  12. The problem is the laws of the US - they prevent the US Cyber defense teams from acting except under specifically authorized situations to do much more than monitor and advise. Equivant to a store not being able to arrest shoplifters just take pictures and get better cameras. A good offense sometimes is necessary for a good defense.
  13. http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/artic...ention?tickers= It’s a prosthetic arm that weighs as much as a human arm. It boasts the same range of motion, and the same tactile sensitivity. When the government called on him two years ago to build it, even Kamen wasn't sure his team could build it. In this video he tells us about the experience, what it meant for his career, and what he learned from the Segway experience. Amazing for so long they have been talking about finding someway to give injured people, especially soldiers who lost limbs, a robotic arm and finally the government went to him telling him need for thousands of wounded vets and he developed one. I hope it can go from the prototype to the practical where injured do not have to have mortgages to pay for one and its upkeep.
  14. It fools the Commerence department who never factor these changes into inflation rate. I am not sure that is proving marketers are smart or government is dumb and is easily manipulated.
  15. Why are you assuming the same 10,000 Canadian fans would go to Toronto if Bills moved? Quite a number would not want to pay the higher ticket cost, parking cost, etc not to mention potential Dallas-like seat license cost for the Toronto Bills if that occurred. Many come from Southern Ontario and have been coming to games for years. Even many US based Bills fans would drop season tickets and maybe even going to game if Buffalo Bills tried charging rate they are asking for games in Toronto. Toronto will be attracting a different crowd than Buffalo Bills - two subsets if you use the math term with a small intersection.
  16. Did you include parking at airport? Once you get to Buffalo you need transportation. Did you include this? If you are going to a game late in then year then you need to account for NFL moving game. A number of people have been screwed by NFL having had plane tickets into town weeks and months ahead of time to save money on plane ticket (or are you talking about a full price plane ticket) but not being able to see game because of need to make flight. It is not as simple as you make it sound. I drive up for three or four games a year from Virginia and will fly at end of year but it requires leaving Monday instead but fortunately I have family in area instead of eating cost of hotel.
  17. A google map would probably work out better than an old fashioned board in my opinion but I'll help anyway I can. I'd love to just help pay for gas rather than driving from VA for games.
  18. Yep and they need it. Roads are not designed for the traffic and when snow or even worse ice comes roads are unpassible in some areas. They are also dangerous for kids who need to walk a mile to elementary schools and a mile and a half for high schools. They have even been cases when there have been times when they need to take away teacher workdays, holidays and vacations not just for snow but hurricanes and power outages.
  19. http://www.fcps.edu/index.htmFairfax County Public Schools, my daughter's school system and wife's employer, is taking two leftover unused "snow" days in June off to reduce amount of fuel used by school buses. While I understand saving money since school had not planned on budgeting for so much school but I am wondering if school is sending wrong message to students who at end of year would be punished if they went on vacation early even if "nothing" was going to be taught. http://www.fcps.edu/index.htm
  20. Not likely only coach who would be interested in OC position despite final year. That kind of "reasoning" is found on sites like RealFootball365.com. Schonert will be allowed to call his own game for Jauron does not get involved in offense for it is not is expertise. Schonert is still offense coordinator and a rookie at that and any head coach is going to call his own game taking input from coordinators. Bills will line up in whatever formation the Bills think allows the Bills to exploit whatever flaws they see in opposing games no matter what uber-knowledgeable fans think.
  21. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/hashmarks/0-7-3...n-soldiers.html Remembering the NFL's fallen soldiers Memorial Day provides an opportunity to remember Pat Tillman, Bob Kalsu, Don Steinbrunner and the NFL's 23 players, coaches and executives who gave their lives during World War II. Tillman's death remains in the news. Kalsu, formerly of the Bills, and Stenbrunner, formerly of the Browns, died during the Vietnam War. The Pro Football Hall of Fame honors these men by listing their names and providing details about their deaths on this tribute page.
  22. Why does the NFL Players Association think it is "ok" for players to hold out with three years left on contract but NFL is being unfair to want to renegotiate agreement with a specify clause allowing it?
  23. They had justification for search - legal cause is another issue. They ought to prosecute every one who gave false names, parents, etc. A great deal of the confusion was part of the decision to not cooperate.
  24. It is closer to the game where Patriots receiver caught the ball and only got nine yards but referees said "give it to them". NFL (country, democratic party) has not changed the rules but she is hoping the zebras (rules committee) will just give it to her.
