I remember this story from ten years ago (not sure how to post the link). http://www.nbcnews.com/id/4096586/ns/us_news-environment/t/thar-she-blows-dead-whale-explodes/#.U2LcRqN5mSM

The question is whether the trust does not want to OWN the team vs. not wanting to RUN the team. If the trust does not want to run the team, then it could enter into a license agreement with a group who would have day-to-day say over operations. The annual license fee could be an average of that past few years' net income, with increases year over year. The trust makes money and still owns the asset. The group comes in and tries to make as much money over the license fee as they can. That setup would keep the team in town and probably would not need to be scrutinized by the other owners, but in the long run it most likely would not be best for the fans' wallets.

It is tough to tell whether his slow starts in games, bad footwork and inaccuracy was the result of only playing 9 games, and almost zero preseason, or whether it was because the line didn't give him much help or time in the pocket. Probably all of the above. I'm afraid that his progress won't be seen until halfway through the season -- after half of the fans are calling for his head. If the coaching staff keeps it pretty simple and they upgrade the line, we should be able to see if he's it. I hope like hell he is. If he avoids the terrible inside handoff to Spiller that goes nowhere and the uncatchable sideline passes downfield out of bounds, I'd say he improved. That's not asking much.

Is that photo an example of what's acceptable?

Can you try to take a bit less in pay in exchange for them waiving the temp period and starting the 90 days probation immediately? You're trading pay for stability. They might go for it seeing as how you have the experience on those machines already.

Not only that, they invite people to come and trudge through the (probably more heavily) polluted muck that's left behind to find lost valuables and arrowheads. Are they giving out free tetanus shots and cholera treatments?

I also think that the fact that the Bills are going to be run by a trust is a big plusl to anyone who wants to buy the team and keep them in Buffalo. Think about it. If I want to buy the franchise and keep the team local, then I can offer the Trustees more money than someone who wants to move the team. They would have to pay relocation fees to the league and liquidated damages to the County and I wouldn't. That money is not paid to the Trust. I would offer to pay a fraction of those costs to the Trustees who have a legal obligation to take the best offer they get. Now if I can just round up the money...

R.I.P. Mr. Wilson.

I like how they put Gronk into the pink bike basket. That was my favorite part.

Incomplete pass to stop the clock?

Where's taunting penalty on Blount?

I've been living in NYC for 20 years now and I don't recall ever seeing both the Jets and Giants scheduled in the same time slot. And even with that happening, I'd be willing to bet that CBS here will show the Broncos/Raiders game.

I care.

Yeesh. That's putrid.

Wow, Searcy!

We scored 24 and our defense gave up 23. Lost on that punt return and the pick six.

Mingo punches horses.

Nice D down there. Now go run block.

Nice to know the Browns do stupid things, too.

Son of a *****

Woods is looking good tonight.

Gimpy CJ!!!!!

Is that the first screen pass of the year?

Bonehead!
