  1. Since Toronto did a Survey Id like to get one as well.

     

    How many fans really want to See Buffalo, NY LOSE more games to TORONTO's DOME/home/away Stadium?????

     

    I for on am DEADSET against it. IT would be the wrong move for us and the right Move for Toronto as they would be inching closer to ownership of the team and the termination of my team loyality!!

     

     

    another home game in Toronto, and Im done with this franchise and the NFL

  2. if we had ownership who was clearly committed to Buffalo, and put forth an effort to win. I would have no problem paying double what I currently pay for a season ticket.

     

    I would also say the fans here are fans through and through. We sell out even after a decade of shite. when/if things are going good, profits will increase much more. There is room in the NFL for expansion. Not relocation. Losing the Bills would be the NFL losing some of its heritage.

  3. planet hollywood. A+. Ive stayed there. Im going again. Great rates, and a nice, happening place. I love it when they parade all the hot chicks to deal the tables and dance after 10PM

     

    Bellagio sports book might be the best. PH was also good.

     

    one of my favorite things to do late night if things were slow... you go to a bar in the casino, play/milk 25 cent hands of video black jack, and get 12$ drinks for free. You just people watch, and people come in and you have some wild conversations with people from all over the world. You will also likely speak to the occasional hooker which is interesting.

     

    Just be VERY careful for your drink tabs. Drinks in the casino are like $10 retail. Also, be VERY mindful where you eat. It could make a huge difference. You can walk in a restaurant and spend $80 a plate for mediocre crap, but 10 feet away, spend $5 for some really good grub. my first time, I really hosed myself in those 2 categories.

  4. Isn't the merchandise department and front office one in the same at OBD?

     

     

    yes, but the merch department, at least when I worked for the Bills, was totally reactionary to personnel movement news. In the FO, very few people know anything juicy, and the merchandise department is a few degrees away from that.

  5. yeah, they cant even keep a NY Penn League baseball team in Niagara Falls. No thanks. People took some off the cuff remarks by blabbermouth Jim Kelly too seriously.

     

    Outside of traffic and parking, does it really matter where the stadium is when we are taliking of a 20 mile or so radius? And traffic would be a serious detractor for any location in NF.

     

    I drive from Philadelphia for games, and on Monday I see people's vehicles decked out in Bills stuff returning from the game all the way past Syracuse.

     

    If its the NHL or MLB, you would need the stadium/arena near a place that is more convenient to get to. You have a lot more games, and games on weeknights. In the NFL, convenience of location isnt nearly as important. 8 games a year, driving an extra 10 minutes isnt going to make a difference. I also fail to see how the Rainbow Bridge is closer to Canada than the Peace Bridge.

     

    If we are fortunate enough to get to that point, I would bet the stadium would be built in downtown Buffalo or Orchard Park.

    Another gem, you guys can't take what the street brings. Bury your head and assume that just because your stuck in a pathetic icebowl for 9 months a year that everyone else is dead ended as well. I live a completely type of life than most and actually most people have no idea how things really work. Consider me being here a potential source of inside info versus your neighbor that is as broke / clueless as some of you.

     

    Holy sh--...where to begin?

     

    this wasnt really said, was it?

  7. Anybody mention the possibility of Bob Rich Jr.

     

    He is actually the wealthiest person with strong ties to Buffalo. A great sports fan. I always suspected that his silence during the Sabres bankrupcy period may have been a sign he was holding out to move on the Bills.

     

    Anyone know of any ties between Jimbo and Bob Rich Jr.?

     

     

     

     

    Also, I would have more doubts of Jimbo if he just mentioned this once or a couple times. But the fact that he repeatedly says this gives me comfort that he has something legit up his sleeve. I dont think he would risk coming off like a botard when the time comes and his big investors are Thurman Thomas and Steve Tasker.

  8. I currently run a FF league, going onto its 6th year. We have a really light keeper policy. Basically it amounts to teams having anywhere from 0-3 keepers, none of which are very impressive. Someone has Michael Turner, I have Rivers, someone has got Braylon Edwards, those may be the 3 best.

     

    I have been approached by a few owners to make the league a full-on keeper league. We would be allowed to roll over our current keepers to the new policy.

     

     

    But I would like some ideas for what to do. Maybe keep 6-10 players. Im looking for a good, balanced system.

     

    Plus Im always interested in hearing about different leagues

  9. I am in the school of thought that in order for the Bills to turn the organization around on the field (which would translate to better $), they need to enlist the services of a Parcells or a Cowher. Someone who could take the reins and commit to a true direction. Too bad Donahoe was an idiot
