  1. Or complaining about Price gouging.... Supply and demand....... Capitalism....... The American Way! This sound like what happens all of the time in these situations, people and companies look to make a profit in desperate times. Easy way to make some money if you don't care about others....... If people aren't buying to sell/flip, they are 'Stocking up' because of fear it may be needed. Just a few weeks ago up here an emergency alert went out by accident (they said it was accidentally sent out during a training exercise) of an issue at an Ontario Nuclear Power plant. Sale of the pills for radiation went through the roof very soon after as people stocked up all over the province 'just in case'
  2. If we are basing the election of a president off of the ads (I'm sure it won't be long til this actually happens.....), Introducing your next President of the United States......... Jeep Gladiator! With vice president Bill Murray and Secretary of State Groundhog.....
  3. My sister sent me that one because of my love of Jeeps and my plan to buy a Gladiator when they came out. Then I saw the price tag and bought an F150 instead. It took me from early May until just 2 weeks ago to actually see one not sitting on a dealers lot out here....... They had Fox News do a sit down with Trump that was part of the Pre-Game show early in the afternoon, and people complain about sports and politics overlapping......
  4. Who wouldn't want a bunch of rotting potato's sitting around their house with wires and LEDs attached to them to save a few bucks lighting their house. But what if there another potato famine?
  5. He hasn't finished searching every single golf course yet? Maybe the Killer was at the Super Bowl?
  6. Your right, McDermott and the rest of the league made the Chiefs look like fools.....
  7. Don't insult our future supreme leaders that way, they could easily have more then enough produced within hours.......
  8. Just finished the final season of 'The Ranch' on Netflix. Not a bad ending but the show seemed repetitive with alot of the stories but wasn't bad for a sitcom. Decided to start watching the final season of Silicon Valley.
  9. Couldn't do it, would barely get past the opening theme/credits. Show starts, Don and Roger open their mouths and the next scene is police leading them away through a crowd of #METOO activists outside the office doors........
  10. 'It's Always Mike in Philadelphia'? Only if Dany DeVito is going to be in it......
  11. Well they have already done that....... I would think with them not opting out of the lease they plan on renovating, and depending on the extent and proposed work, could try and do it in phases to not interrupt the team playing there. Or they could cut a deal to play in a nearby venue (Toronto isn't using the Dome for football anymore, Argos play in an MLS stadium, Hamilton has a brand new CFL stadium, Rochester has a dome). Size might not be an issue if the league agrees it's only for a short period, similar to the agreement to allow the Chargers to play in a tiny field til the new stadium is ready.
  12. I didn't really watch it, my wife did and I was in another room. Didn't see what all the hype was about. I guess they weren't actually blind too, just blindfolded
  13. I think that's always been the case, it's either new stadium, or major renovations to the existing one, similar to GB, KC, CHI, etc.
  14. Didn't Sandra Bullock do something like this on Netflix a few years ago? This reminds me of a joke Trevor Noah did on one of his stand-ups where he talks about people complaints about James Bond being replaced by someone black and how it wouldnt work having a black British spy running around Scotland or Russia, trying to get away from bad guys chasing him through 'very caucasian' areas of the world....
  15. Season 6 has been announced as the Final one and I think they said will be out next year, probably around the same time. Gilligan said something about planning a better ending for this one then Breaking Bad. Jimmy goes full Sail this season from the clips they have released this season, some have him working out of what looks like an old circus tent. Gus already has his spin off, except it's on Disney+ where somehow he ends up in space as a bounty hunter. I thought they would have spun it off to tell his origin story where we find out he was adopted by a family who lost a triplet during birth, then had his beloved father die in a fire, it would be called 'This is Gus'...... There was some things I saw about getting another spin off from someone wanting to do one from breaking bad' but I don't know who it was
  16. If an owner could do that, I'm sure they would love to.
  17. I think alot of People believe the Pegulas are against this or think they need to take a stand, but I think they already know what the league wants/expects of them as owners and from the area to keep the team in Buffalo.If they didn't think they needed a new stadium or renovations to New Era, they wouldn't be doing studies or looking into it. This is most likely something that was made part of their ownership agreement with the league. The have 'X' amount of years to bring the playing situation up to a more competitive level, or they could be forced to find someone or somewhere that will. this is the same Owners that were bringing up whether their other Pro sports teams facility (which is much newer) also needs to be improved or replaced and honestly I don't recall hearing anyone bringing that idea up much prior.
  18. I would assume they may have to relocate somewhere nearby for a season or 2 (chicago went to a college field nearby, GB played home games in a few spots, Buffalo could look at Hamilton with their new CFL stadium, or Toronto and be the 2nd NFL team playing in a soccer stadium) or they could do it in stages that would work in the 8 month (hopefully 7 so work can't start til February) time frame. fans will have to start facing facts that the league and local law enforcement are going to start phasing out tailgating as we know it in buffalo. Many stadiums don't allow the same set up like here and it will continue to move to a more controlled atmosphere where you won't have free reign to get black out drunk and throw people through tables anymore
  19. IIRC, Both those cities did massive renovations of their existing facility, same with Chicago And teh NFL doesn't care about the Average fan, your not what makes them all the money Naming rights, luxury boxes, sponsorship deals, thats where the revenue is made. The big bucks aren't going to be spent by companies for the naming rights to an old worn down facility, and its hard to sell luxury boxes when you don't have many to begin with. If the league is going to ensure the team stays in Buffalo, the buffalo market will need to show it has the ability to be competitive financially with the rest of the league and pay up to either build a newer stadium or massive renovations to bring the current one up to the levels of the rest of the league. Like it or not, pro sports are a business that are looking to continue to maximize profits, not a charity looking to make sure everyone has a franchise. If the market can't/won't help, and the owners can't fund it privately, the league will determine the area just cant afford the league anymore and move on.
  20. The League cold push them out as owners, could be something within the NFLs contracts/By-Laws of team ownership that the league has the right to force a sale or relocation if a teams facilities are not kept to a certain standard. Other owners aren't going to want to continue subsidizing them with revenue sharing if they aren't willing to work on improving their situation financially and pull more of their weight in the league? Its not a Cities right to have a franchise, its a privilege to have one, so if the league sees that they can't keep up, they can say the area can't support a franchise and will need to go somewhere that can. For all anyone knows, some of those teams that have already relocated may have been told privately by the league that if a stadium deal couldn't be reached, you must relocate or sell the franchise to someone who will, it may not have been just greedy owners like everyone assumes.
  21. plus IIRC, Minny is a dome still so weather doesn't matter as much (I do rememebr hearing that there are a lot of enclosed walkways to get around to places there too that help not having to go outside) I think the NY SB was one of the first cold current era outdoor SBs, and that it was only considered because its NY (Well close enough, NJ) Detroit also hosted a SB not that long ago when they built their dome. The consider the surrounding area being able to handle the increased game tourism/fans/media/etc. during the lead up to the game and whether the area can host it so they require more then a couple decent hotels. If the include all of WNY and Southern Ontario, they might be able to get there in a few years after a few more of the hotels open up on the Canadian side of the Falls
  22. I think theres alot that the league can do about it, because IIRC, aren't sports franchises viewed more like a 'franchise' business where your ownership is similar to a lease from the league to operate a franchise in your location? The Owners & League vote in new owners, but they can also vote you out if they have reason. So if the league doesn't feel the Bills can pull their weight financially and that its because their facility isn't up to their standards, they can pull your franchise/force you to sell. it doesn't matter if upgrades will cause the loss of fans attending games. If people can afford paying comparable prices to the other teams, then they will view it as the area not being able to support a team in that league. The NFL is a business first and foremost, and businesses are all about making money, lots of it, as much as possible and then some. The league isnt a charity (although they might want/try to be classified as one for tax purposes) so if you can't afford to play, they will find someone else who will. I'm sure part of the league agreeing to the Pegula purchase was that they told them they must work out a deal for a new stadium, or massive renovations of the existing over specified period of time. Right now its all about working to try and do some convincing over who will be funding it.
  23. Yup, that's why people do it and are willing to take the risk, film it and put it online Nd you can make money, if it's explicit you will more then likely make more then any fine. Just look at the girl in Toronto who was filmed throwing the chair off the balcony onto the highway, she is in court now and will more then likely get a small fine/punishment, but will be known now. She was actually put in a Drake music video recently as a dancer until someone noticed and they fought to have her part removed. Kids today are growing up knowing that they can make more money making dumb internet videos instead of getting actual jobs.
  24. He can do it all, I hear the video was actually real footage from the 70's. Tre has solved time travel and went back in time to join the real hunters from the 70's. When he isn't time traveling he fits in running the Academy and playing CB......
