LOL Everyone is saying these guys are done, but I can still see them going 8-8/9-7 and having an outside shot at the 7th playoff slot.

Bills Entire Marketing Dept Steps Down
TheFunPolice replied to Mango's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This doesn't sound good, but part of me wonders how often these things went on in years past and nobody knew about it. 25 years ago we likely wouldn't have known, or cared, if someone on the business side left the team. I also worry about what happens with the stadium now. No way NY is going to pony up any $$ for a Bills stadium post-COVID. -
It's strange, because that was the type of reporting that happened every training camp. Who is lining up where? Who is getting first team reps? How do the rookies look? It keeps sports media and fans talking about your team and building excitement for the season. Now you can't say anything except "they practiced this morning" and if you're too specific about that it's probably a no-no. I'm more worried about the marketing team quitting all at once. It seems like once again something is going on behind the scenes.

it's only available if you live somewhere that Direct TV service is not available.... It's in the fine print. Same as always looks like. FLSUNDAYTICKET.TV service is only available to non-DIRECTV customers who live in select multi-dwelling unit buildings (apartments, condos, etc.,) nationwide in the U.S. where DIRECTV service is not available, live in select areas within various metropolitan cities, live in a residence that has been verified as unable to receive DIRECTV satellite TV service due to obstructions blocking access to satellite signals, or are college students.

So is the consensus that our top 10 richest NFL owner doesn't know how to run his business?

Nothing "greasy" about it at all. It's the 2020 season. There will be a champion, if it is actually played. I would just delay the season until Jan 1 and play spring ball. Start 2021 season Nov 1 and 2022 as normal. That gives players a break between the super Bowl in May 2021 and the new season Nov 1 2021. Allow the opt outs to reconsider given the new start date.

NHL has been a pretty good product, IMO. Players are definitely not taking it easy at all. Games are intense, fast paced... I wish there were CGI fans like Fox Sports is going to do, though. But most of the time watchin the NHL I forget there isn't anyone there because they do pump in some fake crowd noise in the broadcast. The NFL will have the benefit of observing how everything goes in the other 3 leagues and take what worked and run with it. Like NoSaint mentioned, as far as opt outs go, every year teams lose guys due to pre-season injuries. This just takes its place.

There could be spring football this year: college football

The Rock is extremely intelligent and successful. I doubt he bought it unless he has some plans for making it work. Maybe his star power will help the league?

Jon Feliciano torn pec (returning to practice 10/7)
TheFunPolice replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would think he could heal up and come back for the stretch run in Dec/Jan/Feb Especially with the relaxed roster rules this season, the team might be more likely to keep him on the back burner until he's all healed up and ready to roll. If he comes back Jan 1 that gives him 5 whole months to heal up: August, September, October, November, December. I would think you would want him to play in our 2 playoffs games before taking the field in the Super Bowl, though. Can't have a guy making his season debut in the big game! -
Dion is a great young player, a leader, an has such a positive, inspiring personality.... Plus he's just funny sometimes as well! Who wouldn't want to come to work everyday and be around guys like him? You 100% keep guys like that around. Having guys like that is why this team is so close knit. Plus, it's cool to see an OL being such a key figure on the team and with the fans. They don't always get a lot of love. Forget the discount. Pay the man! YES! Pay your best players, who you know are good, and who you know fit the culture. I would rather do that than throw big $$ around in free agency. Not that big free agent signings aren't fun, but if you're going to build through the draft you have to keep your guys around! Championship organizations recognize top talent and pay them what they are worth.

It's going to be tough... There will definitely be positive tests. Anything that opens up in terms of schools and sports will have cases popping up everywhere

Tasker and Brown on WGR just brought up a good point.... MLB has games 5-6 nights a week with tons of travel and lots of contact with numerous teams per week. NFL is one game and one trip per week. Much less mixing between different teams. That could help the NFL.

Love the ability to protect 4 practice squad players Also it's good that you can send a guy back down without waivers That sounds perfect for a guy like Fromm to me... And maybe Wade

oh, and for those who thought the Pegulas were broke.... Terry Pegula is the 8th richest owner in the NFL, right behind Robert Kraft and Arthur Blank. Terry has plenty of $$. He sold his company for 4.8 billion in cash. The Bills cost 1.4 billion and the Sabres for 189 million (.180 billion). Both were cash purchases. Zero debt. Add those up and he purchased both teams and still had 3.2 billion in cash left over just from the sale to Shell. That's also assuming he didn't have a dime other than that one sale, which is incorrect. In short, he has plenty of money. All the talk of the Sabres losing $$ is probably because guys with lots of money don't enjoy losing 10+ million a year on anything, regardless of their ability to absorb it.

It's sort of what he did before... Buy low, sell high. Say whatever you want about how they've run the Sabres (they seem to have gotten it right with the Bean and McDermott hires on the Bills) the guy knows how to make $$ in the energy industry.
