It really looks like they are far and away the best rookie tandem the league has seen. It might not turn into them being hall of famers but for youngsters in this league they are doing very well for themselves.
Quick search and it looks like cleveland, buffalo, detroit, tampa bay, chargers?(i think it was mostly sports writer speculation), and the eagles all had interest in him

Guess buffalo was at the top of the list and Jerry I hope you enjoyed him while you could...
So why doesnt sully talk about Merriman recruiting players and telling them how good buffalo was??? Simply getting Barnett here pretty much justifies the merriman deal and we are only a few weeks into the season.

I dont know why the buffalo news would write that... everything else i saw while researching it said that the toronto series doesnt follow NFL blackout rules
Toronto Series games are the only NFL games not subject to the league's blackout restrictions. For instance, the 2010 Toronto Series preseason game had nearly 15,000 available seats but was still seen on television within the station's blackout zone.
You guys understand its Collins not collinsworth right?? We are talking about the politician not the broadcaster... Did either of you even read any of this ?
Really? You think their corporate tax is more? I really have no idea about any of that but i would think just looking at it that the sales tax generated would be more....
???? it will be paid over years this is an investment.... It will be paid for and then some which is why any state government would build or help finance stadiums. What are you trying to say??

The bills make more money which means more taxes...
They stay in buffalo
People buy tickets and concessions and merchandise all making the state more sales tax...
After a certain number of years the tax income generated by the bills offsets the cost of renovations...
All other tax money generated by the bills is NY state making money off the investment...

What dont you get about this?
Why do people not get this??? THE BILLS MAKE THE STATE MONEY TO KEEP MAKING THAT MONEY YOU KEEP THE BUSINESS HAPPY
Hahah read the last three or four posts somehow people dont get it
I dont think thats true really... If a team goes to LA and cant draw fans or support they wont stay there just because of the market.
I think that the plan is in place but this isnt truly a part of it stadium upgrades have been around and will be around forever no matter the owner or the plan.
I think he was just saying that the bills make money for the state and that the money earned through the bills will ultimately be more than what it would cost to invest in the upgrades. Not that the bills taxes go directly to the renovations.
