  1. http://tonawanda-news.com/opinion/x1415458100/CONFER-Occupy-Ralph-Wilson-Stadium So I've been hearing all the negativity lately (mostly on WBEN) about the state giving the Bills $100 million for stadium upgrades. It's the usual "the state is broke", "gov't shouldn't support private business", ect, ect. It's pretty crazy to think about it but when a player in Buffalo gets a say $10million signing bonus, 44% of that goes to income tax, 20% of that 44% being NYS income tax. I'm no math genius but thats aprox $2Million going straight to NYS. On just income tax alone it doesn't take a genius to realize that the state will take in well over $100Million over the 10 year lease on income tax alone. Then add Sales tax for tix and bills merchandise, Bed tax from hotel rooms of travelers coming to games, Bar and restaraunt business on game days , the list goes on and on. Sorry this is so long but this has really been bugging me. These people need to see that although they may not care whether the Bills leave or not, the economic impact of having the team here is incredible and would be sorely missed if the team ever left. WRITE THIS GUY AN EMAIL AND LET HIM KNOW THAT HE IS WRONG!! Go Bills!!
  2. Seems as though this is a must win for the Cowboys this week or else.....Bum's son could be out of a job. Phillips would look great in Buffalo again...as a D-Coordinator. Thoughts?
