Definitely Bills fans

The Bills winning 7 games this season is the safest bet in sports? Is this sarcasm relating to the 18 years of mediocrity? Because if not, in my mind at least right now the Bills are a 7-9 win team. But with who they lost, Shady a year older, and an entirely new coaching staff (with a lot of them doing their current job for the first time ever), less than 7 wins is very possible.

As I remember they did check last year. But, get to the shuttle lot early, there are usually people handing out extras there as well.

Yes it truly does suck this year. Sunday 8/6 at SJF and 3 of the 5 ticket locations are Lockport, Depew, and Hamburg. Someone has their head up their ass.

Yes the lines get long in the tent if they are not there early. But my experience over many years there contradicts everything else you said. Like you said, they list exactly who will be in the tent every day, and ahead of time. It isn't a 3rd string surprise showing up. There is a set time the players will be there, I don't remember what it is, but it is more than 15 minutes. And I have never seen one player leave early. My kids loved it for years, but they are too old to get in now. Unless things changed dramatically for the worse last year, my experience was very different from yours. My favorite memory is when my youngest boy came running out of the tent all excited because one of the players signing, I believe it was Spiller, gave my son one of the bottles of gatorade they have for the players to drink. He thought that was the greatest thing in the world!

Yeah looks like that's what they are doing this year so they get a chance to try and sell you seasons.

I'm not sure why people get so butt hurt when anyone in the media doesn't think the Bills aren't going to have a good season. The Bills have been mediocre at best for almost 2 decades now. Think about that for a minute ... nearly two decades!. There is absolutely no reason for anyone who isn't a big Bills fan to expect any more than that this season either. Hopefully the coaching staff is better, but they are not only new to the Bills, they are mostly new to their jobs. If they have a good showing this season and look to be improving then you should see a little optimism from the media next off season. But certainly there is no reason for it now (unless you are a Bills fan of course ).

That's wild that the US is 75 times the size of England, but Premier League soccer still makes $5 billion a year.

No mention of "without a permit" here. "improperly carrying a concealed firearm" apparently was the charge. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19958451/adolphus-washington-buffalo-bills-arrested-improperly-carrying-concealed-firearm

If you have kids in the 8-13 years old range that like football, they will love it. For adults it depends on how much you like watching the players run through drills. But the Bills and SJF do a great job, it is comfortable, clean, easy to get to with the shuttle busses, and free (except for the $1 shuttle bus charge for adults). They also have a Bills Store there to sell you some merch like jerseys etc.as well as some free stuff like Bills car magnets.

The Sabres just made, IMO, an excellent trade. A big step closer. http://buffalonews.com/2017/06/30/report-sabres-acquire-scandella-pominville-wild/

Vegas as a whole, no. Individual huge betters, yes.

Eventually you have to be right

One could say that filling the stadium for the past 17 years for at best mediocre product shows support for the local team. But one could also argue that filling the stadium for the past 17 years for at best mediocre product is being an enabler of mediocrity, and is the reason for the past 17 years.

Apparently the TvAddons site just went black along with its facebook presence.

Oh absolutely! But there should be no expectation of people paying good money for a bad product. They can certainly choose to, it is their money. But defining how "good" a fan base is by how much they fill a stadium to watch a inferior product to me makes no sense.

You seem to think that is a bad thing. If you suck as a team, why should you expect fans to pay all that money to see you play.

Thanks. Further out than I would have thought. But I imagine if McD wants out bad enough (if he does, who the hell knows at this point) Pegs could buy his way out of it.

Honestly, when my kids were in the jersey wearing phase, they always wanted current players. I just found a good dealer in China and got them that way. I always thought paying > $100 a piece for them was insane just by definition. Plus like you said, who knows how long any player will be around. The $20 a piece I paid (delivered) made me not care if I had to get all 3 kids a new one every season. The NFL frowns on that of course as does the US government, but spending $60 suited me much better than $300+.

I didn't mind them as seats. But when some people would beat on them all game apparently not realizing (or caring) that the noise albeit irritating to those of us nearby, would not even be able to be heard at field level. Being aluminum that was annoying to say the least.

I almost bought one of those banners
