Well Paychex is still headquartered in Rochester so yeah

Damn, my wife likes the clubs and I was going to PM you about buying a game from you for her and her friend for their yearly outing hehe

He owns some common stock that he got when he sold his casino interests. He has no say in running the business anymore. No longer an issue. However all of the other issues with The Donald are still in play. He didn't. He just wanted them to stay in Buffalo. Now that he lives in Florida I'm not sure if he would want to invest a billion in the Bills. But I guess we will see.

Plus I believe you are expected to sit during the games are you not? Some here would find that infuriating.

Since he seems to value the QB situation greatly I see what you mean. Buffalo is in the "Maybe we have a QB" stage while Cleveland is in the "No !@#$ing way do we have a QB" stage. But if the Brownies manage to get a good QB (draft or otherwise) I have the feeling you may be surprised either this season or the one after. Particularly if Pettine ends up being a solid head coach.

Yesterday I was thinking of getting 1 share for each of my kids as a novelty. But now that my blood alcohol level has returned to normal it seems silly. Plus none of my kids are that high on EJ. If it was Spiller they would probably want a share But all the articles I've seen forget to mention the biggest risk in buying these "stocks". That being Fantex itself folding.

I think he is taking into account not just last season, but the FA players lost and acquired. I suspect when you get down to the bottom of the list a lot of the teams are very close and the order is not as meaningful. If you ignore the numeric order and look just at his comments I can't find a lot of fault.

Pretty fair assessment in my opinion.

Make sure you are wearing something Bills related in your mugshot

It absolutely is not when there are significant consequences on the line. It happens in business every single day. This isn't a 5rd grade "Jimmy likes Missy" gossip situation we are talking about.

Contracts do appear to be on the table, including the current one. Think of it as he is taking out bust insurance. I'm not sure what to think of this whole thing other than it seems to be a new and different form of long term gambling. Assuming that the "stock" would pay dividends and could be sold to others that is. Without dividends and the ability to sell your stock to others it is nothing more than a gimmick to make money.

This!

Maybe he called Whaley saying he was the Browns GM and started talking deals. Hey it worked with Nix

It does seem like an almost criminal waste of money in a state that is already overburdened with taxes. Because there is no such thing as an iron clad lease. No. Not even a little.

Congrats to you as well! What time should we all be there for the cruise?

I usually watch live until the Bills make their first pick and that's it. Most of the players they pick after the 1st I never heard of anyway (I don't follow college football at all) so I just read up on them all after the fact. Congrats to your daughter!

I'm sure all kinds of people believe it. Particularly hard core football fans. Just no GMs, at least in my opinion. If they are disseminating false information, why would they believe others?

I don't think anyone is actually leaking info. I understand the theory of a smokescreen and what it would hope to accomplish. But no GM in their right mind is going to believe any of the supposed leaks they hear in the media. They (meaning all the GMs) know that none of their colleagues are going to believe any of it either, which makes the entire smokescreen process pointless. In my opinion (and obviously that's all it is), there is no smokescreen. There is simply no point to it.

I actually find it hard to believe that any GM listens to what the media is saying they have "on good authority" about what the other GMs are going to do. And feeling this way I'm sure they know that all the other GMs feel the same way so there is no point to creating a "smokescreen". It is all best guess stuff from the media who has to write something for people on fan boards to discuss and to collect a paycheck until there is something real to write about. Just ask yourself, if you were a team drafting at 10 or 11, would you base your decision to move up and leapfrog the Bills on something you read in the media?

Fixed. And might I add, hell no!

Yes I believe you just summed up all Bills related "news" in all outlets both amateur and professional for the past few months. But you forgot the Jills feminine hygiene.

A politician, self-serving .... naaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The way I read it the NFL did not have to sign off. But the Bills decided they wouldn't do it without the NFLs approval.

I did not know this, thanks!

You are implying that the NFL had a say when the Bills entered into the current lease. Are you sure of this? If they did that speaks volumes as to the desire of not just Mr. Wilson, but the entire NFL to keep the Bills in Buffalo. But to the best of my knowledge, that agreement was just between the Bills and the county.
