Nice to see Bills fans being pro-active in their panic this year. Probably best to wait until at least camp for panic mode though!

I don't expect any friction (at least public) between SJ13 and Harbaugh. In Buffalo SJ was a big fish in a small pond. In SF he is a small fish in a big pond. I would not expect any "why so serious?" moments from him in SF

"Paper or plastic?"

Hasn't someone said something like this the last few seasons as well? I guess some fans like this, it gets them fired up or something. I find it embarrassing when a player, particularly a new player, on a team that has been as bad for as long as the Bills have been to shoot their mouth off. I hope the entire locker room thinks it, but it just sounds foolish to see/hear it in the press now.

Yeah I guess I should have looked at a map. About 1:10 to Hamilton from Buffalo and 50 min from Toronto to Hamilton according to Google. It still is shorter than driving to Toronto from Buffalo. But from Rochester that extra hour would be very annoying and I believe there is a significant seasons base in Rochester.

I think the Bills would have to be insane to allow a player they are counting on for so much not only now but for years to come to risk significant injury that way.

You know, that is a very interesting question and I do not have a clue as to the answer. You can't go by a poll here as this place houses many very hard core Bills fans. The more casual fans who like to go to the games might not mind. Also the drunks who just want a place to power drink might not mind either. I suspect, but don't know for sure, that the casual fans far outnumber the hard core fans any given Sunday. I think Toronto would lose a great number of current seasons holders. But just over the border in Hamilton, I just don't know. Why would you bring beer TO Canada? In fact, picking some up to bring back home with me would be a good reason to go!

I believe the Leafs have 11 more Stanley Cups than the Sabres. If your assumption is that I am Canadian, then I guess you cannot "really tell" at all.

1) It is obscene that the NFL is tax exempt as it is. That status should be removed immediately regardless of what happens to the Bills. 2) Minimal and would be forgotten quickly by all non Bills fans. 3) Probably. But there is more for them to dislike about Trump as an owner beyond the USFL. 4) Not a chance as the Buffalo economy stands at the moment. 5) Unknown. But if the group that owns the Leafs thinks it can be viable then it probably can be. There is a big difference in Toronto supporting the Buffalo Bills and supporting the Toronto Bills.

With no one who knows anything talking, isn't it all baloney at this point?

I think this would be in the hands of a judge, not a jury. And I would certainly expect a judge to be completely impartial. However that judge might need to be re-elected someday as well No local judge may want to take it for that reason and it could end up in a different court. I still hope this is all just a mental exercise. Yup good point. Sorry for contributing to the stray. Google shows no mention of this except for here, FWIW.

It's a nit picky point, but according to a lawyer friend it would be Erie County bringing the new owners to court for violating the lease by attempting to move. if the court did not rule to force the Bills to stay put (which according to said lawyer he has never seen a court force a tenant to stay, but he also says he has not heard of anything like this involving a sports team before either so who knows) then the Bills would be forced to either pay the $400 million, or question the validity of the $400 million in which case the court could force Erie County to prove that much in damages. But your main point is correct though in that it is definitely not a buyout.

Absolutely. Every Bills fan subscriber call up and cancel their subscription stating their reason is they refuse to read a paper that has Sully working for it.

I remember being at a Microsoft developers conference years ago and various product managers and marketing dudes walked out on stage to speak in their expensive suits. The final speaker was Bill Gates, and he walked out in jeans, golf shirt, and sneakers. People were chuckling and joking with each other about it. Gates stopped, looked around and asked "Who do I have to impress?"

Not at all. If the executors(s) know assets are going to be liquidated there is no reason to wait. One less thing to do later. When I was the executor as soon as the attorney had all the paperwork in order with the state declaring me the executor (took a couple days) and bank accounts were set up etc. I was free to get to work liquidating the assets. I can't think of a reason for Mr. Wilsons executor(s) to wait on this, can you?

I do not know if she is the executor of the estate or not and it actually does not matter in this case. i also do not know what, if anything, was specifically left to her in Mr. Wilsons Will. But assuming these paintings are part of the estate (not the trust, two different things generally) and that Mrs. Wilson is not the only beneficiary, what I said should be correct.

That would have been my choice as well if I subscribed to the theory that Manuel would have improved enough over last season on his own to get the ball consistently to Watkins and everyone else. But I don't.

Even more astounding is that the poll is for a straight up "cut". I can see a [small] number of people wanting to trade him for whatever reasons, but cut? I agree with your diagnosis.

To me it is the QB coach Todd Downing. Most of the other pieces seem to be in place, so for me the difference in whether or not the Bills start back on the road to relevance this season hinges on one EJ Manuel. If he becomes a viable starter the Bills should have at least a decent season. If he sucks ... well you get the picture.

There is this legal concept called an estate. As an executor she is simply not allowed to give things away, or even sell them at below market value. She would have to purchase them from the estate at market value, then donate them to Albright Knox or whomever she liked. Or, if Mr. Wilson had that provision in his Will is another way for that to happen.

PM me closer to when they become available and I should be able to help you out.

Careful of the ebay ones as well, the colors look very off.

http://www.shopthebi...m_campaign=2014 And of course you can get one in a couple days on ebay for 20% cheaper (which is a very high price for a knock off).

Could always stay one extra day and fly back on the 19th. I should be able to get you and your daughter tickets for the 18th

I think that's on purpose as the Bills stay in the dorms.
