  1. What a burn! He's only posted 59 times on this particular fansite therefore he must not be much of a fan. You really pwned him! /sarcasm
  2. Contradict yourself much? I know more music theory than most here and have played 6 instruments - although I am down to 2 these days. Why that's relevant, or why you went after him that way is beyond me. Old blues dudes like Robert Johnson didn't know crap about music theory, he only knew what sounded good to his ear. And pretty much all rock and pop music is a riff on what he did. Knowing theory can be helpful - moreso in composing than sampling - but it's certainly not a prerequisite for making music. That said, I like LDM's enthusiasm and passion. I like that he raps about not caring about snow or rain, and I like he says the O and D will be "Grade A." I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but hearing his anthems have almost become an annual tradition and I appreciate that he puts them together and shares them with us. Who knows, maybe one day he'll hit upon a modern version of "We're Going To Win That Cup" or "Super Bowl Shuffle" and make mad bank. And even if he doesn't, if putting together these anthems is how he gets his Bills love on, why are you busting his balls? Live and let live bro. After all, art is subjective, remember? .
  3. Fixed. If Trump buys the Bills and keeps them in Bflo, that would be better than losing them, but I'm not sure where his new found love of all things WNY and Bflo has been all these years. Call me a cynic, but I wouldn't trust him with my favorite team, if it even gets that far... I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear he decided to not run for president run for governor buy the Bills.
  4. Bon Jovi is only the face of that group (assuming it exists). Rest assured, he has access to - and the real money would come from - business people.
  5. Technically, MLSE can't buy the tean, only individuals can own a team per NFL bylaws. That said, I'm not really debating Bon Jovi and his buddies at MLSE would keep them in Bflo. I'm only saying that if they did buy the team and kept them in Bflo, I'd prefer them over Trump. I dislike Bon Jovi but dislike Trump even more. And why would they invest in the team and keep it in Buffalo? Capitalism and prestige. Look, I am well-aware the odds of that happening are long, but I'd rather not see my favorite NFL team's owner engage in Twitter debates with athletes and celebrities.
  6. That's what most people - including myself - believe would be most likely, but it's not certain. And I would rather see Bon Jovi and his buddies with MLSE own the team assuming the team stays in Buffalo than have Trump buy them and keep them in Buffalo.
  7. No, I'd rather have Bon Jovi buy them - provided they remain in Bflo - than Trump. Look for the part that says "The first priority is keeping the team in Bflo of course..."
  8. You are speaking from a prospective owner's perspective. I was speaking from a fan's - or more accurately, my - perspective. Frankly, I'm surprised you would even bother to comment since it appears you believe the team will be gone soon...
  9. First priority is keeping the team in Bflo of course, but after that, I'd prefer Jacobs, Pegula, Golisano, Rich, and/or Bon Jovi over Trump. Trump is a cartoon not to be taken seriously, but he would be better than losing them. Although not by much.
  10. I used to watch them over but haven't since the Bledsoe days. Just not enough time and not enough interest in re-living them.
  11. I don't think the police really cared if he was drinking - it's not relevant to the charge. It might be relevant to the 49ers though, didn't Smith just go through rehab?
  12. That's what I don't understand about all of this hand-wringing in regards to Bon Jovi. His estimated net worth is $300MM and I would imagine only a fraction of that could be easily liquidated. Big name, minor player.
  13. That's not Sambora's version. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/bon-jovi-guitarist-richie-sambora-656758
  14. You can count the number of movies I've seen in a theater over the past five years on three fingers. This won't be the fourth; I'll wait a couple of months for it to show up on NetFlix.
  15. The day Ralph passed, I went for a drink after work to toast him. A buddy mine was at the bar. Being a Chargers fan, as soon as I sat down on the barstool next to him he referenced the passing of the last living member of the Foolish Club. He offered his condolenses and added "Too bad he's not getting into heaven." "Oh? Why do you say that?" "He walked right up to the pearly gates but missed wide right." He quickly apologized when he saw the expression on my face; he knew it was too soon. Looking back now, it was actually a pretty good zinger if you're not the overly sensitive type.
  16. I hope Trump isn't involved with the Bills - I'd rather not have that circus clownshow associated with my favorite football team - but Trump does not own casinos. The casinos bear his name but he is not a shareholder, an officer of the company, or on the board of directors.
  17. It doesn't matter if it's drawn up on gold leafed paper or toilet paper. Nor does it matter if it's for $1.00 or $1MM. Assuming the basic standards are met (parties are clearly identified, goods or services exchanged for satisfactory consideration, effective/start and end dates, etc), a contract is a contract is a contract. We agree that the team likely/hopefully won't move, we evidently only disagree on the enforcement of the lease agreement. I think there is value in the lease and its penalty and disagree with 83's (or whatever is username is) assertion the lease can be easily broken. (PS: Tell your friend to make sure his leases specify the total value of the lease payable in 12 payments of X dollars. Then if it's broken, he can go to court to get a judgment for some or all of the unpaid balance and then initiate a garnishment.)
  18. That's a good point. And I'd add that another problem with Jax is that it's a Navy town. So many of the people that are there have no real ties to Jax. In other words, if you were assigned to Jax for 3 years for work, would you drop the Bills and follow the Jags?
  19. I was operating under the assumption the majority owner of the Bills wouldn't be on public assistance (corporate welfare aside). It seems like you're looking at this from a landlord's perspective, not a tenent's. While's it's only happened a couple of times, when a tenent has tried get out of his lease (I'll let them go if they have a valid reason for wanting to break the lease), I have had no troubles being awarded a judgment for the entire lease amount. I stopped the enforcement after I had enough to make up the difference between when they stiffed me and when I had another tenant, but I could have collected on the entire balance of the lease, ie, monthly rent x 12 months. If a tenant of RWS tried to break the lease, I don't buy for a moment he would get off scot-free.
  20. Try renting an apartment and informing the landlord you are moving out after 4 months and see if you don't end up having a court-awarded judgment slapped on you. In other words, you are 100% wrong on this.
  21. But that would contradict the Bills recent satements/press releases in the wake of Ralph's passing in which they said Ralph was the only owner the club ever had, wouldn't it?
  22. The ol' Moto PC550. I sold thousands of those back in the day! Well played.
