Some observations about potential new ownership
Best Player Available replied to jahnyc's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thurman is one of the Bills greats, most likely is tight with Mary since him and Ralph were so close. But, isn't he still doing autograph signings for some extra pocket money? I doubt he's broke but his net worth is probably not enough to but maybe a couple percent stake in a huge deal and would leave him broke. From a financial standpoint. Thurman simply isn't IMO a guy who is noted for his financial acumen. having Elway, Magic Johnson, Roger Staubach, post football financial success is one thing being a MOFO is simply not going to cut it. maybe some group could see him as part of poison pill minority stake owner who if he evened owned enough to haver a voting share, he would always vote no on relocation. I'm also interested in what was said other than those guys passing gas on air. -

Who believes in Manuel?

81 thanks for your comments here. Very hard to disagree with a single word of it. You're right no one is listening. -
Corporate suck up question...
Best Player Available replied to The Poojer's topic in Off the Wall Archives
dependent on the size of the corporation, I really doubt a CEO has any remorse on chopping heads at all. Since ownership and stockholders are who the CEO answers too. The executives own future is always based on the bottom line the almighty buck. Now if the corporation is say 10-100 employees, or a rather small family type business I could see the cuts as possibly being hard and emotional. Any company With a board and publicly traded, claiming they have to make tough cuts are talking through their behind. It's mechanical. Emailing a corporate exec is usually frowned upon especially since their admin assistant usually sees them first. Unless you are on a first name basis. -

Trip to Ireland . . . . advice needed.
Best Player Available replied to B-Man's topic in Off the Wall Archives
We have been in the UK a lot. Ireland a few times but it's cool. First know the conversion rates inside out. Cabby's are the best at trying to rip you off with cash transactions. Ireland love it Cork, Dublin. Scotland----- I heard once they make Scotch there England London, Leeds, Liverpool, Oxford All of the above towns have serious drinking problems, which is a plus. Going to the local pubs is best. Binge drinking is a science there since last call is so early. Very weird. Room temp beer, we'll after the first one it's all good. But, after hour clubs have been the rage for decades. But you usually have to be a member. Sometimes not a bad idea if a kick ass band is there. Bring rain gear -
Can Bills Fans Own and Operate a New Stadium?
Best Player Available replied to Tu-Toned's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Plans like this, need people that are smart and good ambassadors. I'll find out Dennis Rodmans schedule and his interest in moving this forward. Pulling 800 mil together should be a cakewalk....... Plus, it will take pressure off the Donald and his need to finance the team purchase. Since the stadium will be in place. -
Bush in 2016??

She would have to come out. She is too old school to do that. The media would be intense, the Gay community, even more so if she stayed in the closet. She is not in the picture. My apologies for the posted with my I crap stuff I am on the road. -
So...What happens next?
Best Player Available replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's even worse when there is nothing to play for in November (ie playoffs)When teams suck stuff happens ask the lakers baby. When they suck for 14+ years things get really dicey. Footballs lowest revenues is ticket sales. The best? Suites, and TV. The bigger question someday will be. Can the fanbase in WNY handle the huge ticket price increase? Since new ownership won't be buying the team to keep the fans in their almost free rockpile seats as currently priced. The owners need to immediately start seeing some ROI since the people loaning money aren't in it for charities. Ralphs 25K investment allowed the team to keep prices in line with the horrible WNY economy. Imagine the empty seats in Buffalo if Jerrah like prices were charged for admission. Besides the team isn't going anywhere. And certainly low ticket sales for games after the yearly playoff elimination will have little to no effect on the buyers negotiations. Most likely a complete hosing of the current OBD FO staff and then hopefully a team dedicated to winning would solve that pesky empty seat problem in November. Being up to 20 million under the cap has more than made up for the lost revenue,and some empty seats. That longstanding Littmann mindset is pure cream for the franchise. Cannot wait for him to be gone. -

Best Player Available replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Per Rodak: Littman named executor of the estate and will control the trust. IMO that sucks as he will maximize profit of the sale over any home town discount to keep the franchise in Buffalo. Even the most ardent homer knows Littman will be one of the first fired when new ownership takes over. His parachute surely is golden. -
Honestly, I cannot see any reason they would not do it. It would be foolish. The patriarch of the franchise, the only owner. I'm guess the FO is very aware of this almost automatic tribute teams do these days. For starters it would be a huge negative on the franchise , which is certainly not Brandons style. Didn't Kraft put his wifes initials on the jerseys the year she died? Better yet have some WILSON #1 jerseys made up to sell at the stadium.

Chance he just got more power is a logical possibility too. Until the team is sold. -
I could almost change my opinion of Kraft if that's from his heart. Doubtful Jerrah will say anything. Even though he owed Ralph for things his rich butt didn't understand in the CBA.
-
Must have been sudden. I thought I read somewhere he just called #12 to wish him the best.

Well perfect then. If you upgrade and get a camera that will send the pic to your phone then you snag the A-Holes on theft charges too. But you also get all the pics of the critters setting it off but who knows a good close up of Big foot has got to be worth some serious cash. -
Rotoworld analysis of Bills needs
Best Player Available replied to Lothar's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Planet Tampa. Having witnessed the QB play of manuel that day first hand (and others when he wasn't hurt) was disappointing and that is being very kind. Granted the whole team sucked that hot afternoon. But the kid exhibited zero NFL traits, awareness, etc. He had happy feet and never got past his first read. if someone was open like TJ Graham was he threw a Fritz like dirtball 10 yards in front of him. And everyone in the huge Bills crowd there was united in that opinion since thousands left early, and any taking a lot of trash talk from frigging bucs fans no less. Now today Rodak writes that Whaley is content to go in the season with the 3 QB's on the roster. If this kid cannot play 16 games and at least come out 8-8. Expect the rebuild to push 17+ years after they reach yet again in 15 or 16's draft. Like some have mentioned here. He simply doesn't show the it factor nor the swagger. That cannot be coached up. What Bills fan doesn't want him to succeed? But personally I saw a lot of Trent Edwards in the kid to make his success in the NFL more of a long shot than a guarantee. Why does the Bills FO seem to have to coddle their QB's? How did that work out for Fitz? Why is Whaley and company afraid to have some honest competition out there? This is why a loser mentality exists on the team and the tarnish is getting worse, from a management prospective. -

Could be a very costly option for littering. Not so say the littering problem isn't a pain. But in the end these clowns won't be getting anything more than a fine. Getting DNA off a bottle may be doable. But getting the matching sample from the clowns littering and getting a judge to use it is a whole other story (Law enforcement won't spend a penny to help you out here) and more costly than good infrared cameras . The Sheriffs could care less if my experience with owning acreage is typical. We had a 30K uninsured loss in a barn including (2) 4 wheelers, thousands in tools, fishing gear, even a 600 pound maple burl plus a small old Kabota, my deceased wifes kick ass kiln and some ceramics of hers. Needless to say I was pissed. We tracked the meth ghouls stash spot but the Sherrifs did nothing because they did not have just cause And "couldn't see the stolen items with a spotting scope on their Dads ranch". Meaning they had no evidence other than my word. So no search warrant issued. At that point I developed a whole new mindset using county Sheriffs as a resource. So, we went to cameras with long range infrared and we snagged those freaks. When they bit on a chain saw left out on purpose. They walked as usual on the charges. The DA sucked. Finally my neighbor saw them by our properties (their 40 year old twins BTW) and jammed a 9MM down one of their throats, They both literally pissed their pants. Then taunted them to call the sheriff on him. Because no one believes a meth freak. Problem solved on our properties anyways. In this situation I would use whatever means necessary to hide good infrared cameras. Not a judge in the world will dispute that evidence. They will walk on DNA because they could claim someone is stealing their trash piles for recycling, etc. -
Didn't they try to fix the offense last year? A 1st round QB (albeit a reach) Backup (QB's), A vet QB, 2 receivers drafted, 7-11 signed, More scrub TE's, Legursky, and well you know the other LG. but a legit pickup in Carpenter. This is an Honest question. I thought the emphasis last year was offense?
-
We've sucked for 14 years straight why not one more year! Thanks - we like our new scrub LG too Sj13 doing a extra lap every AM around the block with his wife this offseason wait until you see the results!!!! Chandler take pay cut to stay That's what real team players do. Or one's that draw zero interest in FA Doug Whaley already the hands on favorite for GM of the year Wait........ HUH? Breaking: Bills win the paper offseason the earliest ever Free Kool-Aid until the opener Reality: Reaching or even surpassing the "Jauron Line" Is a possibility in 2104 Sorry some still need to see the baby, and a legit QB who can stay upright.

This is what happens when...
Best Player Available replied to youngunz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Excellent just like Fitz's "rib" injury lets base the lack of accuracy, this whole season on his minor scope in pre-season. The play calling really sucked EJ's accuracy or lack of it didn't help. Does anyone know who wore Mario's jersey today? He sucked. 3 tackles total including 1 solo. When does Mario return? -
I don't think this is a surprise and legursky might be worse when healhy.
