Panic over a #2 QB? You are a lightweight. There are people here panicking over the #1 QB!

The Bills announced a sellout a few days ago so it should be on TV even locally.

Yup I sure do. But the "dress rehearsal" game is the first time this preseason where the 1's will be in there together for at least a half, against the 1's of the other team instead of for a series or two while spending the rest of the game trying to figure out who to cut. This will be at least one concerted half of effort by both teams. If they light it up does it mean superbowl? No (thought no doubt you will see posts proclaiming that ). But it does indicate that the 1's are starting to get their **** together and are capable of playing quality football. If they fall flat, it doesn't mean the end of the world. But with the regular season only a few weeks away it doesn't bode well at least for the start of the season.

True that. But not long to wait. Tomorrows game should give us a good indication of what this team really has.

Things should start to become more clear about 27 hours from now.

One team having a surprise advantage over another does not generate revenue for the NFL as a whole. The NFL wants information put out that will get fans involved, get them excited for the upcoming season, and therefore buy tickets and merchandise. Team A winning week 1 because of a surprise tactic does not make the NFL money. Good PR does. Same reason coaches are forced to talk to the press when a lot of them clearly do not want to.

Yes it is. The Bills do a great job with this. Plus the major alcoholics tend to not go, or keep themselves under control for the sake of the kids. You and your kid will have a great time.

Love it Your guess is at least as good as mine obviously. But they may have been expecting it to go from 1.5 to 1.4ish. Maybe not 1.5 to 1.0 or less. We will see. But I think everyone here including me would prefer to see it wrapped up by years end at the latest .

I wouldn't be quite so positive. Obviously the sooner the better from the perspective of both the trust and the NFL. But if the trust does not get a bid it likes under the current restrictive parameters they have created, I could see them doing a full reset and start again with newer, perhaps less restrictive, parameters. Remember, to us it is a football team that we follow. For the trust beneficiaries we are talking about potentially 100's of millions of dollars here. Not chump change to anyone.

Agreed about the NDA. All you have to do is put yourself in the position of the trust or the NFL and ask "would ______ (in this case, loosen or drop the NDA) benefit me". In this case, the answer is clearly no. I also agree with your $1B assessment. There is no incentive I can think of for Pegula or anyone else to go higher.

That would seem to be the most logical way to pick and choose.

It's just me I guess, but in lieu of facts, I understand people who believe everything that is reported. And I also understand people who believe nothing of what is reported. But it's the pick and choose to believe some but not others that I don't understand. Like I said, just me. I'm sure it makes sense to you.

Ahhh OK. Repeat it enough times and it becomes fact

It was? And we know this how? We have no real information that I know of. Everything we hear is hearsay. So outside of some outlandish statements perhaps, most of the rest need to probably be considered as equal.

The same as any other "leaked" information we have seen/heard so far.

Ticketmaster NOT showing the game as a sellout for me. Note that I have resale turned off in this screenshot. But based on what others have said, someone must have agreed to purchase whatever is left.

A valid point, but I would have to give the nod to the politicians.

I have a few old knock off very good quality home jerseys of Trentative and I think T.O. free to a good home if anyone wants them. Just pay shipping. PM me if interested. Right now they are just taking up space

Been a while since I have read an article with that much bull **** in it.

In Rochester, it is on the ABC affiliate (Channel 13 on Time Warner Cable).

Sorry? Not getting it. Ohhhh now I see. I did not do anything, like Rubes said, this board software must not like apostrophe's there. Fixed as best I could. The HTML for apostrophe does not work there either.

Well they will be able to hit some new guys Saturday

Still tickets from venue available on ticketmaster. I suspect some very nice individual guaranteed to buy whatever was left. Nice! Pegs, was that you?

Looks like the boys are getting a little fired up. At least no one got flipped off http://www.sbnation....ice-fight-video

Ticketmaster probably does not consider it valuable (to them) data to display. I'm going to take a look and see if I can write a little app to get the data from ticketmaster and count the remaining venue seats when I get some free time. Not sure if it will be possible or not given that map thing is a flash object, but I will take a look.
