  1. This one? https://www.buffalobills.com/news/the-stadium-tour-to-visit-new-era-field-in-summer-2020
  2. Pizza place? The other diners probably were teens and 20-somethings who pay no attention to football. The probably said something like "...Huh? Who was that dude that just paid for our bread sticks?"
  3. Those mountains produce plenty of echos, I hear...
  4. Mabe we can get Pegs to move the Sabres and then get an expansion team in here. They'd probably be good before the Sabres finish their rebuild...
  5. So, I assume Gil was referring to Gisele's clevage, not her and the guy standing to her left...
  6. So does that mean they'll move if they don't get a new stadium? You put them in the same category as the Irsay's of the world, so you must think so...
  7. And Smiths does have the highest catch per attempt percentage of the TE's (80%)!!
  8. You actually put Kim and Terry in the same category as those greedy basstards?! They don't need to 'maximize' their investment. They own the Bills and Sabres for completely different reasons... One and done. Good work, amigo...
  9. The Pegula's will likely release the results of their consultant's report then. It's done now, but they appear to be waiting until spring to talk about it...
  10. Yes. I agree, the Titans make sense as a landing spot. I just have a hard time envisioning the GOAT in that pasture. Just seems whack. They don't even fill their stadium, as we saw with all the Bills fans at our game this year...
  11. Interesting. That's a really good prep school. But Brady playing in Moonshine Junction? smh...
  12. While I'd like to go another direction than Shenault, I don't doubt that he'd be way better than Zay. If nothing else, Shenault is much more physical and has a "football player" approach to the game from the video I've seen. OTOH, despite Zay's family background which should have given him a leg up, I never saw that in him. He played soft and didn't seem to know what he was supposed to do way too often...
  13. I guess that was before paragraphs were invented...
  14. I don't doubt the Pegula's want a new stadium. But as the face of the franchise, they're in the awkward position of having to placate the fans who (through their tax dollars) would have to pay for a large portion of it--and also see ticket prices jump 25%-35-50% once it was built. They seem very sensitive to that dynamic so far. But it sounds like they'll step into the light one way or another in a couple of months when they roll out the consultant's report...
  15. Hey, not all boomers are Republican...
  16. I buy the later points, but not the bolded. The Bills are not being propped up and there is no risk of insolvency. The only thing shifting over time is franchise value (mostly due to market population size). In the grand scheme of things, the Bills are no more a "have not" than Pittsburgh or Cincinnati. The Steelers are competitive every year, the Bengals are not. That has to do with ownership, front office, talent evaluation--all the things the Bills can do well at...
  17. You could be right. AVP always got along with the prima donna's. But I'd bet that Mayfield is a lot tougher to deal with than Rogers, just due to the generational and talent difference. Good luck Alex. The Brownies have a lot of work to do...
  18. Poorly written article. It's shared in the NBA and the players get a sliver in the No Fun League, but its not something the visiting team gets...
  19. Ding, ding, ding. Post of the year, so far!!...
  20. Again, its ticket prices. The Bills are $30 below the league-wide average per seat, so the visiting team (which gets 40% of the gate) gets that much less for playing in Buffalo. The logic many owners (usually those in big cities) make is "build a new stadium and fans will gladly pay higher ticket prices!" Which is totally bupkis in Buffalo, Cincinnati, and other small market cities, IMO. And, if they truly don't care about gate receipts and it's all a smokescreen? What new stadiums tend to do is make the franchise more attractive/valuable (like fixing up your house, rather than letting if go). That way, when it comes time to sell, some poor schlub will pay more for it. Now THATS where the money is in the NFL game...
  21. That's what I keep saying. Higher ticket prices is the only answer--and that dog don't hunt in Buffalo, new stadium or not.
  22. Nope. The home team gets to keep luxury box and PSL revenue. It's not shared...
  23. No doubt on the renovation. But 33/67 or worse on a new stadium...
