A lot of wonky language about the PSL's. Like I'm hearing stuff like 80% of STH are signing up. But I'm also reading that the number of PSL's sold is pretty low. We carried a book of tickets through one of our jobs for a decade. One of us left so we lost our seniority and we started over up in the 300's. Which I enjoy. I see more football. Anyways I had my meeting and pulled the trigger, but the only way to get between the 35's was in like the 4th last row? My rep told me that there was nothing anywhere closer?

Also, maybe we got this out of the way early? A girl can dream.

On the useless ladder it's about one rung lower than One Bills Live. Given the ages of one Terrance Pegula and Ralph C Wilson, I'm astounded that neither could figure it out.

In the grand scheme of blue cheeses across the country La Nova's is probably a top 10% blue cheese. But again the stuff on fairy is way different than the stuff on transit. The stadium stuff is garbage. But do we really think Bakersfield, CA has any worthwhile blue cheese?

I agree. I grew up on Lawrence Pl. Then lived on 19th as an adult/late 20's. There is only one La Nova as far as I am concerned.

I totally agree. All any of those places have to do is become the official pizza/wing sponsors of the Buffalo Bills. Honestly, with multiple locations, I wouldn't be shocked if Bar Bill throws their hat in the ring at some point. But they probably don't have the "family money" that the Todaro's do.

McD seems to play some favorites, no doubt. Elam isn't nearly as bad as some posters make him out to be, but he wasn't as good as he needed to be here in Buffalo which likely made it hard for him here. I hope he finds some success. Seems like a good dude. I will keep beating this drum. This team continuously needing to re-draft positions in the top 100 paired is a huge reason why this team has not been able to get over the hump. Singletary, Moss, Hines, Cook. Then Basham, AJE, Rousseau. Coleman then burnt a third on a washed up Cooper. It isn't that you can have too many pass rushers, or cheap RB's/WR's, or too much talent for that matter. It is that they keep going right back to the well in short order because the first one they grabbed didn't get it done.

Maybe we remove kicking all together. Make all kicks a throw. Any completed pass of at least 40(?) yards you get to keep the ball. That way the receiving team doesn't know if it is a "kickoff" or onsides kick. Also narrow the goal posts to like 3 feet. Don't yell at me, I am just an ideas guy.

Ther are allowable trace amounts. I have friende who are power lifters and some of them see doctors who also see NFL players.

One thing to note is QB contracts. Sure some guys got paid like Hurts, but they aren't in the meat of their deals yet so they can pay everybody. Then on the other end you have the Bengals who paid Burrow and paid their WR' and they're all messed up because of it. Buffalo, KC,and Baltimore have a much greater balancing act. Stafford and the Rams are a bit of an outlier. All that said, McBeane have just missed too many times with pass catchers in the draft. And their insurance on devoting resources to pass catching backs that they don't throw the ball to is maddening. Honorable mention to TE's as well.

Also worth noting that NFL players have and allowable amount of trenbolone in their system. LoL.

Dude is gigantic. Looks like he is suddenly the size of Tremaine Edmunds. I'd be shocked if he wasn't on the juice. Surprised this clip came from the NFL'S official social media. The entire comment section is about steroids and Jose Conseco jokes. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16LuHpfbQt/

I could be wrong but I think players have to play both sides of the ball.

That is a blanket statement that doesn't take into account QB pay/cap hit. I'm not saying not to help Josh and get more WR. We should. But he actually seems to be right in line with the other QB's "help score" who also received a major pay day. There's nobody with a bigger "help score" who makes more money than Allen. I'll be put a little bit of an asterix on Hurts because his cap hit hasn't begun to come due. I have to question a "help score" that has Chase and Higgins as a negative. Lolz. But if you want to trust it, Allen seems to have as much help as Tua does and they have Waddell, Hill, and Achane.

I think there is a chance that the new coach is Deion. Pre-draft I thought there was a chance that Prime either replaced whoever Shadeurs coach was the next season, or he takes over and trades for him. I believe that a lot less post draft. The league seems to have spoken and the general consensus around Deion is "STFU". But I wouldn't write it off completely just yet.

I stopped waiting in que's for concert tickets 3-4 years ago for this reason. I was buying tickets direct from the ticketing agency at release and showing up to concerts where those same tickets, direct from Live Nation (Ticketmaster). I live across the street from SPAC, so I deal with them about as much as anybody. Even my KC AFCCG tickets I bought the night before, after I got to KC, for cheaper than when they went on sale with TM.

I have lost my shirt on presale the last few years. I no longer participate in it for any bands anymore. Ticketmaster is no different than Stubhub, Vivid, etc. these days. Unless you are a STH there is no more "face value". There is nowhere in writing where it says "OG price to the first buyer". If you unclick the "certified resale" that pricing changes with the resellers. I am a STH and we get a measly 4% off our tickets, basically we get a discount on the service charge. Anyways when I called my rep she told me that is off of whatever the current TM pricing. I watched the tickets I wanted (not certified resale) change in price before I pulled the trigger. The silent part they are not talking about is that price to consumer is price to consumer, and whatever their advertised price is is the current face value. I don't think you understand the current model of ticket sales. Because face value is basically non-existent and price changes regularly. If you want consistent face value it will cost you a minimum of $2000 for a PSL. And then you can say "my ticket is $125 ea." Otherwise that $125 ticket never gets released to the public at $125 until the market proves it needs to be that cheap.

At worst I think this could be a case of "overdrafted" and "wrong situation". If he was picked high 3rd or low 2nd and was asked to play the big slot role with some ability in for contested catches in the end zone he would likely stick just fine with the team that drafted him. But, if he doesn't turn the corner he could find himself a FA. I don't think he will be unemployed in 3-5 years.

I don't know what is going to happen with Shadeur, but I have become a Shilo fan. Seems like a good kid, super humble (compared to his dad/brother), seems to say a lot of the right things. Given how easy it has been to root against Deion/Shaduer just seems to make Shilo more likable. Also, it is pretty wild that Deion's kids didn't turn out to be super gifted. Like 4.5? Prime could probably run a 120m and do 3 consecutive 4.5's. (hyperbole, I think?)

In the current market, first day tickets are insane. I almost never grab them anymore, ever. Think about it. When Stubhub, Vivid, etc. own such a large percentage of seats why would they release them at a lower price right out of the gate? Check back again in August. They will be cheaper, I promise. I used to live near KBC (thankfully in the pre-Pegula era), and I would watch the national anthem at home, then walk to the arena and grab seats for like $10-$20. It was the best.

It's on California Road. Google the "Wings Meeting Place". Heads up. You do have to do a little hike up/down a hill and cross a small creek. Walk straight to the back of the lot, it's a parade of people. As long as there wasn't a heavy rain before hand and/or you aren't elderly/disabled it's not a big deal.

My comment was more about signing him in a Micah Hyde role. A good voice in the film room, leadership for a young secondary, and break glass in the event of an emergency kind of thing. Also if we don't do that I don't care. I'm high on Rapp. I think he's a good safety. I don't get it when people shirt on him. I am much less high on the rest rest of the room. I was underwhelmed by Bishop last year.

I know, the heat and all. But I've enjoyed the Buffalo v the heat/Miami v the snow rivalry. Kinda wish they'd keep that going.

I think of a master manipulator as somebody with good soft skills. Somebody who leads people places without them knowing. Kinda like McBeane do to Pegula. What Diggs does is more of a temper tantrum. I guess it's still manipulation but more like a toddler than a shrude people manager.

For sure. I would just prefer Pitt on short week and Houston after the mini bye is all.
