Love this guy.

No way he quits, that's just crazy talk.

Boobie for 7 up the middle.

Boobie between the tackles for 4 yards.

Trump was actually very gracious in his statement. http://www.wgr550.com/pages/9034669.php?pid=426123

Can't speak for other stadiums, but Yankee Stadium is in the hood and hasn't revitalized that area at all. Walk a block from the stadium in any direction and you're in a poor neighborhood. Dumping a significant amount of money in a **** area is not guaranteed to do ANYTHING. Revitalization takes willing developers, the proper landscape and community support. Like was said before, how are people going to get on & off the island for games? Traffic will be an absolute nightmare. And Canadians are 40% of the fan base? That's absolute horse ****. If they were, the Toronto series would have had more Bills fans than our average away games. With the exact same fan base as they have now, theoretically the team can make more money by making themselves more accessible to the fans they already have in Rochester and Syracuse. You don't have to convert people here, they'll come to games. Casual fans from markets East of Buffalo all of a sudden have a much smaller barrier between themselves and game day. The Rochester market is huge for the Bills, practices are jam packed at St. John Fisher. Development around a Batavia stadium is endless because there's nothing here! Nothing to knock down, nothing to repurpose. Built to suit, whatever investors want. NF has very little argument in the way of being a viable stadium location.

You have to weigh that against how many you gain opening up a larger market.

As a Batavian, there's enough pros to at least keep us in the conversation. Do I think it's far fetched? Very, but think about it. There's a ton of land here, right off the thruway, ripe for development. Stadium, convention center, retail; it's a blank canvas. A bunch of hotels are right off our thruway exit. Accommodating fans to the East is the way to best improve numbers. Batavia gets the team closer to Rochester and Syracuse - two markets with a ton of Bills fans - while still being close to Buffalo. We had season tickets while I lived in Rochester, and that's a drive I can't see most fair-weather fans making. Traffic patterns can be planned and developed for. Again, we're a blank canvas here. Biggest thing I think is reaching East instead of pushing the team further West or North. We're already fans out this way, make it easier for us to get involved. Canada (for the most part) doesn't give a **** about the Bills. Stop trying to create a non-existent Canadian market when you already have a large one in upstate NY. I do think a waterfront stadium could be beautiful and have a huge impact as a 'destination'..but you're adding drive-time for out-of-towners and NF is a shithole. What's the traffic going to be like with 65k people arriving/leaving the waterfront? or in and out of NF? Also, they'll stick out the lease in Erie County and develop here until it's over. I'd have season tickets again in a heartbeat if they were in my backyard.

Dudes, are you forgetting the INT machine that is Jim Leonhard? Thought he and the others played more than well enough in Byrd's absence last year to not overpay Jairus.

It's still more probably that Cleveland goes with Adam Gase (DEN OC) or Dan Quinn (SEA DC), but I'm still worried we lose Pettine earlier than expected. I figured he wouldn't be here super long, but 1 year would be a huge disappointment.

Per Glazer on twitter. Anyone else panicking?

A friend of mine made one that's legit...not just a color flip.

Looking pretty awesome for our second rounder. Not many ways to screw this up, methinks.

When you pick this high in the draft, you pick BPA, no matter what position they play. Fill needs after getting a playmaker.

This. It came up on the graphic. Hopefully ESPN didn't toss it out there all willy nilly.
