May Day 10

its not so much about "sharing" the team. It sucks losing home games... but losing 1 or more home games with home field advantage handicaps the team before one down is played in the season. Its bad enough that Ownership and Management are so handicap. If by some fluke they ever make a playoff run, they are behind the 8-ball gifting home field advantage to a quiet, neutral, cavernous, soulless building.

He's actually not a bad actor. He is very likable.

It states some assumptions and hypotheses as fact regarding Wilson's intentions and the future. To me it discredits the whole thing a bit, I would suggest toning it down... Maybe break down all the possibilities. The headlines on the front page scroll way too quickly and its hard to read the writing. There are also numerous costs associated with this. Lawyers and Accounting fees would be very high. That amount, would not be recovered and gain ROI. I would think that ROI in general isnt worth it. People arent doing this for investments sake. Im not going to give $1,000 waiting for 2% interest over 20 years when inflation is going to destroy that. Financially its not an incentive. I would be fine just getting the money back, or even just saving the team and having token voting rights or something. Im glad someone is organizing and trying to fight. Its an interesting idea, just very tough to get the snowball rolling. Then there is always the possibility that if everything goes right, and it turns out to be futile, and there are $ Millions of dollars to divvy up (minus all operational fees). You should explore every possible result with the money, who would be possibly be solicited with the Bond Fund, what prevents an owner from taking it, signing a non binding lease, then bolting. What if the owner/recipient goes bankrupt, what if Mr Wilson lives 20 more years and holds onto the team, etc... Just a little constructive criticism. Im sure its a work in progress and this is just the tip.

quote of the day

count me in with the group who has no interest in rooting for the team if they leave WNY. Im not a Jays or Raptors fan in the least. If I backed an NFL team (which isnt likely), it would be the Browns

I hope powers that be realize this

I looked into it a couple years ago. It sounds like a huge pain in the ass. You are way better off having a draft party or going to the Bills' event at the Stadium.

I will never like or get used to regular season game(s) being played in Toronto. In my eyes it is never justified.

people at work comment every week now it seems about the Bills (positively). We have a suicide pool where many people had a strategy of going against Buffalo. Everyone is scared now.

I wouldnt say the Bills are a good team. There is however, improvement, which is a testament to Gailey and is very encouraging for the future. Still a significant rebuild needed. My optimism now compared to the bye week is not even close. Seeds of competing is the best case scenario.

They are competitive. Competitive against a few good teams as well: Balt, NE, KC, Jax (Jax isnt "good" but Id say decent). A few weeks ago it was rock bottom. There will still be some bad games, but they are starting to look like a team.

its a little different though. The Sabres are set up to get to almost the break even point. As things are I dont think of them as "cheap". The problem is we have a minority owner who runs the show and doesnt really know much about the on-ice aspect of the sport.

our quarterback: Fitzgerald or whatever his name is. Gave the game completely away.

I agree on Foles in Round 2.

I have been paying close attention to Clayborn since I saw a quick feature on him during College Gameday a few weeks ago (best show on TV). This guy is a special player IMO and one of those guys I can only picture playing on a defense like Pittsburgh or Baltimore. He has a high motor, but he is also strong and talented. Offenses seem like they are really trying to gameplan around the guy. Even when he isnt making a tackle or hurry, he still blows up half the line. I also like how he has an attitude out on the field.

I wouldnt mind it if they took Adrian Clayborn either. Im really not set at the Bills taking a QB at the top of Round 1 in 2011. They are going to have other chances, whether its trading back into Round 1, early Round 2, or the 2012 draft.

make hangartner walk home.

lol

Im in shock to see a 300 yard passer

I am in Philly... and the 76ers are beyond backburner and have since I have been down here. They are behind Temple, St Josephs and Villanova. Even when they were in the playoffs, the Flyers were dominating the coverage. The amount of attention the Eagles and Phillies get is huge. Then the Flyers. Then everything else. then the 76ers. Not ONE of my friends is a fan of the NBA. Maybe a couple hold somewhat of an interest in it.

Im not too high on this Bills team at all. I think 0-16 is in the realm of possibility. However, the thought that any UFL team can beat the Bills is preposterous and silly.

no. I saw that article, never heard of the change and got my hopes up. then I saw that fact.

rats

I only saw the first drive. I thought he looked good considering a short time there and getting thrown in a game against the Titans. Half 2 sounds like a disaster though. We'll see if Gerard is out and he gets time to prepare with the starters.
