The Andre Aggassi story. Lol For those who didn't read Open you should. Aggasis dad pulled him out of school often to have him play for money at the local tennis clubs. He once played Jim Brown with the family home on the line.

Meh, sure if you keep it binary, Josh could make more money. But with context, I just don't find this as altruistic as some people claim. He didn't need a raise. He had 4 years left. He asked for a new one and got a raise. He took more money off the cap. Sure he could have taken a tiny bit more. But again, context matters. Baker just got a similar deal AAV. Should we all be thrilled if Josh asks for another one, but takes $62M AAV, because it's still less than Mahomes? Where does it start and where does it end? I don't mind the deal, I just don't buy he "took one for the team.

Pegulas strength is that she is consistantly pretty good at most things (compared to her peers). Her weakness is that she isn't great at really anything. At that level the difference between pretty good and great isn't linear, it's exponential. The amount of skill, athleticism, power, etc needed to close the gap skyrockets as you get closer to the top of the depth chart internationally.

He literally asked for a raise. It was $5M less than 2% of the cap. It's a Terrel Bernard sized haircut. The "took a paycut" narrative is way overplayed.

Wow, helluva first comment on this thread.

Shaq was very good in Buffalo last year. Happy to have him at the facility during the week. A good "break glass" kind of tool to have in the tool box

Da'Rick Rogers would like a word

My totally uneducated opinion is that we're likely in for a lot of bad QB play. College QB's are way less prepared than they used to be despite being better physical specimens.

Remember when the Pegula lead Sabres spelled their own alumnis names wrong on their self scheduled alumni night. This org is capable of literally anything.

I enjoy my sightlines in the 400's. I'm between the 40's. I used to watch a lot of the game at the Ralph on the score from a similar seat. I see way more football now. Sound like as good. But I'm curious how loud it gets. Worried that the current set up will reward people for not being in their seats and cheering. Video boards were meh. I literally used to sell the stuff. Nothing spectacular.

Eh, that feels like hyperbole. It was blowing pretty good up top. It's like being made you got a little wet in a heavy rain using an umbrella or standing at the edge of a pergola. You have a partial overhang 100 feet over your head. That's a you problem if you thought you would be totally unaffected by the weather. Umm, fine? I'm at the 50 and given how windy it seemed to be, it felt much less windy up there than at the Ralph. Not an engineer but I get the concept. The entire building is basically wall-less. Concourse open to the field. Anything that doesn't have a bathroom or concession is basically that corregated steel mesh on the outside.

Yeah this sucks. Those are too hefty a PSL for that BS

I am in 435. To be fair the wind was blowing pretty good and push the rain under that canopy. Without the wind they are likely fine.

I was really taken back at how open the causeway was to the field. Coming through the gate was certainly a wow factor. But my wife and I had the same thought, that a lot of people could be basically living in the causeways on game day. Also the whole thing is basically wall-less. The outside walls are corregated and let wind through and then there's no walls between the concessions and seats/field. Curious if it gets pretty cold in there. Probably the same seats by 4 corners since the stadium is fairly symmetrical. We sit up high and noticed some wonky seating arrangements looking around the field. We are really happy with our seats though.
