  1. Past hour
  2. Practice Roster?
  3. This was the first time I looked at the total chart. My seats are in the $8k section (Bills side). Overall, I think they did a pretty good job pricing the PSLs, they covered the spectrum very well and as mentioned by others there is a level that is accessible for a wide swath of fans. I viewed the $8k/seat (I have 4) as not bad - amortized over the life of the PSL it is $267/season, which as it turns out is going to be just under the cost of a regular season ticket. I knew the game tickets were going to go up a lot and was more concerned about that. Mine are going from the current about $180 (I think, never know how to factor in the preseason games) to about $300, which is a huge jump - 8 regular season game cost per ticket up from about $1,440 to $2,400.

  5. And please let us know when you arrive safely!!
  6. Understand the pool depth before diving in… Cheers and enjoy the long weekend
  7. Use the search function and look for yourself while you have all this time headed to Virginia Beech.
  8. I'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time Will open up again I'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched me once Will smile and take me in And I'll drink and dance with one hand free Let the world back into me And oh I'll be a sight to see Back in the high life again
  9. $2,000 spread over ten years works out to $20.00 per game, and less if it gives you access to other events. In ten years that’ll be chump change. Seems like a good price to guarantee a sideline spot under the roof.
  10. Butch Byrd was a great cornerback, and still not on the wall. He was also a very fine punt returner.
  11. I don’t think anyone can judge the situation between the girl and Mad Max. But I do have wonder why the Bills took the plunge seeing as how they knew all about it. It’s not like he’s a sixth round punter. If this goes bad, it’s a helluva public relations nightmare.
  12. I’m guessing that the employer (owner) wants as much flexibility as possible when it comes to employee compensation. They probably don’t want guaranteed contracts becoming all the rage. Just my guess.
  13. He won’t be 27 until Monday. Somehow I felt he was a bit older than that. There’s still time to turn his career trajectory around if he’s committed.
  14. The Bills organization is classy. I love this team.
  15. It seems like biggest issue had been how he attacked being a professional. That injury was truly terrible timing for the guy. If he’s taken a big step in his maturation process I think he could make a roster. I don’t see what the downside would be to bringing him in and letting him compete. He’s talented enough to be our WR6 if we chose to go that route
  16. Just looked it up. I was wrong. His rookie season he only had 873 yards. 860 the next. He'd fit right in with our WR room after all.
  17. Quarterbacks have all the rules to protect them and get the largest contracts. Everyone else is a second class citizen financially and in regards to player safety. I'd like to see a max contract system put a governor on qb wages.
  18. Today
  19. I see. So nobody's saying it's collusion except a reporter with no access whatsoever. So, you figure that the fact that some guy with a column somewhere used the word, that it may well be collusion despite the fact that there is absolutely zero evidence, zero. Again, your own definition specifically mentions "agreement." And not only is there no proof whatsoever of agreement, or cooperation or conspiracy. Nobody has even mentioned the possibility, except I guess you. Having one guy tell a group of guys they should not overpay is not collusion. Nor is it even close. Sorry, man, you're a great poster, but this idea is just dumb. Saying it's collusion when nobody is even mentioning an agreement, on the basis of them listening to a lecture, just dumb.
  20. Congrats to them! Baby Shakir also arriving in December.
  21. This is a lie. It’s not modest. But if all these “ideas” are so great and your illusion we’ve been laissez faire (once maybe in the 1880s) which you think is a disaster, then why stop at modest? Go full blown Venezuela. That is the goal. So spare us this “modest” crap. He’s actually saying things like this: Modest. Unbelievable.
  22. Twice I believe…and wasn’t the primary WR when he did
  23. Reagan conservatism is not yet dead, unfortunately. It merely metamorphosized and MAGA metastasized to other American demographics. I do believe, however, that the meteoric rise of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign is a harbinger of Reaganism’s ultimate fate: an expiration date inextricably linked with the physical health of the Boomery MAGA crowd obstinately peddling it. The essence of Zohran’s campaign is convincing NYC’s working class that almost half a century of policies promoting upward wealth redistribution is not in their own best interests. A longstanding economic climate of trickle-down economics, dangerous deregulatory practices, anti-union laws, dismantlement of the social safety net, and the like has created the miasma of urban unaffordability. A democratic socialist would (rightly) call this “wealth theft.” Zohran’s plans to help reverse that redistributive trend (fare-free city buses, 5 government-run grocery stores, $30 by ’30 minimum wage increases, public assistance for childcare, circumstantial rent freezes and public housing options, etc.) are incredibly mild and not remotely commensurate with the national outrage. Not even 11 full days following the decisive primary victory, the collective oppositional response to Zohran’s very modest intrusions into laissez-faire economics has been both pathetic and predictable. Oh, let’s review the myriad ways in which this flustered cohort of right-wingers and establishments lefties are flailing… 1. 1950’s McCarthyism redux: Raising the marginal tax rate a couple percentage points for the highest income bracket, apparently, is some sort of clarion call to the resurrected corpses of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. 2. 2000’s Islamophobia redux: Jihad! Intifada! Scary Arabic words are scary and Arabic! 3. Anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism conflations: The desperation of discourse has so degraded to the point that Zionists are now using “anti-colonialists” as a slur LOL… 4. Anti-immigrant rhetoric: This is where the white MAGA nationalists really expose themselves. The bulk of Zohran’s support is actually coming from white people, and the “dangerously high” percentage of foreign-born NYC’ers isn’t any different than it was a century ago when immigrants were predominantly European (~35-40%). 5. Freeloader accusations: Voters in support of Zohran are mostly found among the higher economic brackets, minus the sociopathic corporate CEO’s and the downtown Gordon Gekko degenerates. Nevertheless, market-based counters to all the “whining” about costs of living and stagnant socioeconomic mobility have so far come in the form of recommendations to stop being so lazy and instead add on night shifts at Walmart and what not…because nothing screams “effective campaigning” quite like trivializing the concerns of the voters… 6. Reverse ageism: The relative youth of Zohran’s voters is being held against his campaign. This means nothing to me, personally, because I value wisdom and not necessarily age. In fact, I have seen little evidence supporting the adage that wisdom accompanies age. See: middle-aged and Boomery MAGA denizens of this forum. 7. Character assassination: Any attempts at questioning Zohran’s integrity are laughable, really, when you juxtapose his with that of his opponent, Eric Adams. 8. Economic illiteracy accusations: Whatever. I scoff at right-wingers and neoliberal dullards who slavishly follow axiomatic economics to the exclusion of data-driven economics. Kay Adams Fun Fact: understanding the practical importance of saving and investing in life has ZERO relevance to understanding the academic field of macroeconomics. 9. Random misogyny: Oh noes!! The childless yuppy cat lady Zohrandinistas are destroying the city and the country! Eeek!!! El. Oh. El. Not. A. F*ck. We. Have. To. Give. In the spirit of EmRata, I shall order my “Hot Girls for Zohran” t-shirt, wear it in the form of a crop top to show off my flat summer tummy, and post it on Instagram so that all the Strong Island finance bros can respond and cry about the downfall of Western civilization.
  24. Go to the west coast. I had to look at a property next to The Shops at Tanforan (Mall) in San Bruno,CA (next to SFO). The property and the mall property was a racetrack from 1899 to 1964. At the mall there is a display of the history of the site. During WWII, the track was a concentration camp for Japanese-Americans. They stayed in the stables and in the infield of the track. I had a friend there who's father and mother were kept there when they were young.These were US citizens, not lawbreaking illegal immigrants. Remember, that was when FDR, a dem, was POTUS. FDR also returned Jews to Nazi Germany. Might surprise you that there was an Italian POW camp in Buffalo during WWII. The area where the Ogden St.exit (Exit1) of I-190 was a POW camp. I had a HS friend whose father was one of the POWs. That's how his dad came to the US. When released, they let him stay here
