thats what I was going to put. New England looks pretty good and need to be ranked ahead of Buffalo until proven otherwise (other than a nail-biter loss @ Seattle)

Pretty much all this. -
It's (the first of three) Record Store Day(s)!
May Day 10 replied to Seasons1992's topic in Off the Wall
It was great when it first started. Unlike most things, I was an early-adopter of the vinyl resurgence. Record Store day was for actual end-users to add to their collections. It was a really cool event. Many years later though, its only an ebay supply line. Last round, I really wanted the Live Frogs from Colonel Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade.... to *gasp* listen to. I went to the place on Hertel when it opened and dozens of people were there on lawn chairs. People in front of me were just talking about what is "worth" what... and how many of X were being pressed, etc. People were leaving with armloads. By the time they were 10 people deep, it seemed like they were sold out of anything good, let alone what I wanted. I ended up reluctantly paying a small premium for the Vinyl.... then it just gets released anyways even though it was supposedly an exclusive to RSD. I really wanted the Green Jelly Cereal Killer album from the April one last year 2019. Same type of thing, but its still out there for $80 and I never bought it. -

I've grown to dislike record store day. It's basically a neckbeard flipping paradise, and I'm not going to wait outside at 4am so I can try to get what I want. I miss record theatre. The used vinyl room was an absolute goldmine -
No leg any more. Great kicker while he was here though. Thank god I never have to hear Murphy say "Hausch money" again

Bills Entire Marketing Dept Steps Down
May Day 10 replied to Mango's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I worked there pre-pegula. Out of college, entry level. It is awful. Low salary, long hours, treated poorly. They knew that once I was fed up and left, there would instantly be 400 applicants. It felt like all promotion opportunities were already set. If I stayed I could have probably carved a career in sports.... but the work was exhausting, my friends all made more $, and the mental pressure my managers would put on me caused permanent damage. I had yearly performance reviews with russ brandon, lol. There were some cool things... like receiving a chocolate football from ralph and mary, getting a picture frame and christmas card from the Gregg William's family, 45 yard line season tickets I couldnt use, and sipping gin at a christmas party with drew bledsoe. With that said, typically the VPs and higher execs seemed to have it much better. At that time, the "marketing department" was way way more than 3 people. -
Unpopular Bills takes, Past and present.

My one that gets me yelled at is that I believe Lee Evans was vastly overrated -
Vlad Junior needs a training program. I cant believe how fat he has gotten

Buffalo.... as I say with most things.... needs a couple Fortune 500 companies to headquarter downtown. MLB games are largely a downtown happy hour day-to-day now. A fun social event. With business and people downtown, attendance would be great! Baseball has roots here, but it is aging. People arent going to keep driving from Grand Island and Lancaster and Amherst 81 days a year in Year 5 of a team that is fringe or worse. Personally though, I would go every time my schedule allows! The economics of MLB are shot, but I feel like we may be heading closer to their 'apocolypse' where they convert to some real revenue sharing and also tie players salaries capped to league revenues. That would crack the door open for Buffalo.... but see above. They would be competing with Charlotte, Nashville, Montreal, Vegas, Portland, Austin, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, etc for a franchise. You also need the television market as so much money is generated from the Regional Broadcast deals. Obviously we don't have that. So I guess, we will need a nice uptick in our local economy and downtown demographic with a bit more bells and whistles downtown. Or, we would need professional baseball to deconstruct and go to a Promotion/Relegation system (which IMO would be amazing for the sport).

I think the NHL's lottery system wasnt that bad 10-15 years ago. It was really confusing, but there was a cap on how far a team could move up.

Tom Brady said learning new playbook is tough
May Day 10 replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have said it all along. I strongly believe it is the Patriots over Brady. Brady IS a special QB who was able to execute in every situation and run the offense and such... but I dont think he is not replaceable there. On the flip-side, I dont think his skills, especially at this age, are sustainable outside the New England bubble. -
I would bet this redbird capital thing spent most of the money. The rock probably got in with very favorable terms to provide headlines and be the face of ownership
