To be fair, at least they're not one of the WORST offenders. NFL makes about $12.50 profit on a $100 sale, with the charity getting closer to $10. Factor in overhead, and about 8 cents on the dollar actually goes to cancer research. The charity has a reasonable 23% loss on overhead on donations, many other nonprofits are much higher. Total contributions averaged to about $31k per team.
Better off just getting knockoff pink gear and donating the savings directly to the charity rather than support the NFL's disingenuous charity marketing. They have refused a player's request to wear pink for the full season after his mom died of breast cancer, and fined another player for promoting a "rival" charity on his eye black after his father died of cancer.
I have basically limited my donations to very specific things that I know the money goes to the right place. More than half my charity money goes to my students who sometimes are not fed at home. When your money goes to a larger charity generally at least 20% goes into overhead and sometimes it is 50% or more, so if you want to make a real difference check where your money is going.

if we were to offer it- of which i have not idea if they will- i wpuld predict 3 years at 15 million total with 4 million of it up front.
-
even at higher cost i think Allen is the best deal on team.

does this mean he plans on making a play every now and then? i would like that.

I fully welcome total participation from Obama and all the Clintons
row i completely agree with you- which i think is a first- but it might be for opposite reasons. i think more Hillary means more Trump votes how about you?

I don’t remember that far back with the Bills. Who was it? As far as other teams. I don’t remember any players every year guaranteeing they will win the SB.
i think it was donte whitner one year-2008- and willis mcgahee another-which i can not remember- though they might have only guaranteed playoffs. my bigger point is these kind of comments do not mean much especially in football which is such a team sport.

i would prefer they break it down as the top 45 or so who will make it and then the next 15 battling for the last 8 slots. i dont know our second tier players well enough to have any clue which of them make it. though i fully expect Sills on PS.

A "bare bones" protestant wedding takes about 10 minutes if you do all the parts. I like it when it takes a half hour or more with the addition of music, Bible readings, a brief homily etc. I imagine that it could be done so parts of it took place outside of the stadium before the game, and then you just did the vows at half time. You can do the vows in about 2 minutes.
i know you are right but i have yet to meet a girl who would agree to that but the girl who would agree would likely be a keeper!!
55 minutes ago, hondo in seattle said:When I got married, I told my Filipina wife that part of the deal was that she had to be a Bills fan. It was not negotiable. Not knowing much about American football, or any sport, she easily agreed.
Over the years, though, she's come to realize what I got her into: all the false dreams, scorched hopes, and ruined Sundays. A couple years ago, after commenting on the all the negative consequences of being a Bills fan, she suggested, "Why don't we root for the Seahawks instead?" I just silently glared at her with the most evil expression I could muster.
More recently, however, she's developed an appreciation for the loyalty & camaraderie of the Bills mafia. Sometimes we hang out with the Bills Backers of Seattle and she feeds off the good will and unfounded optimism. And whenever we visit my relatives in Buffalo, she makes sure we include a stop at the Bills gift store at the stadium and she proudly wears the gear she buys.
She'd probably think renewing our vows at halftime would be a great idea - if that was allowed.they should allow people to renew their vows at halftime- the year after they win the super bowl and everyone is happy about the Bills.

how many players make this guarantee every year? i remember Bills in the early 2000's making guarantees every year.
-
this is the oddest promotion i have seen- proposals are quick but weddings take time. I can not imagine this going well if NE is up at half.
-
i would definitely take the under- i expect 2 through the first about 9 games and 4 the rest of the way. i do expect by the end of the year his impact to be large.

Statistically, Bills defense was 18th in the league in scoring, which puts them in the bottom half of the league. Plain and simple, too many times in 2018, the Bills defense gave up Red Zone TDs rather than holding their opponents to FGs. If the Bills are to be considered a great defense in 2019, they have to make it much harder for teams to score on them, especially in the Red Zone.
i would be interested in where we were scoring defensive for the last 14 games- the first two games were abominations and i thought we were gonna be 0-16 but our defense improved quickly.

Maybe the NFL should find the tapes of the Rams SB instead of hiding them (they say they burned them).
i would be shocked if they did not burn them- "protect the shield" means that 3 illegitimate SB titles can be allowed to be known.

Is this a time when we are supposed to believe Joe B is right?
Blind squirrel comes to mind- but honestly Joe B usually can see the obvious, which is this kid is a huge talent.

wow i am only surprised since this is his year to shine and then make big money. i want nothing to do with him next year already since he can not even hide it for that big payday, once he has it he most likely will eat himself out of league.

i have unfortunately yelled at a player to quit faking an injury at a college game when the home team was rolling them and every three plays a defensive player was down, only to have player strechered of and later find out he had an ACL injury. i felt bad about that so i hope i would not cheer any injury including Tommy Boy.

I am hearing that the Bills picked up Eddie Lacy. Anyone know if this is true? The Bills are listed as his current team on wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Lacy
is it possible he is brought in to be the tackle eligible on goal line plays?

The last 2 seasons have really been the only 2 seasons where Clowney has played the full season (missed 1 game in 2018) and he had 9 & 9.5 sacks. Not really unrealistic to say that he is starting to peak and could do more.
Much like it is not unrealistic to say that he could decide to get lazy after getting paid.
Also why not accept a 2nd and Lawson? If he doesn't sign his franchise, you have nothing. This way you have something.
Not saying you're wrong and definitely not saying that I'm right, just giving the counter argument.
i think most of us Bills fans see a guy who from the outside does not look like he is busting his butt to get better. he is good but not a guy to break the bank on or going to transform our D.

If the Raptors success hurts Buffalo then Golden States success should have hurt the baseball Giants, the crossover of fans is limited and rarely hurt other sports.

Zay should get a huge boost in production from the fact he is no longer our "#1" reciever. he is not good enough to continually beat a top CB but he might be good enough to beat lesser CB all day long.

would seem to me that the players’ union would want to restrict any max contract to no more than .... say ....11% of cap, so that the rest would be spread out among the rest of the team.
not sure if I’m a closet communist or just jealous of somebody getting 30 mill for playing a game.
i just think gms are dumb who give all the money to one player when all 22 matter unlike NBA.
-
the very premise of the idiocy here is that Allen did not play well as a rookie- which is incorrect- and also no one thought he was good which is also incorrect. why let morons bother you?

i did not watch nearly enough Reggie to make an informed decision but Bruce was a dominant presence on a D line with lesser talent- Jeff Wright- and was able to cause much more damage on his own. As for leadership it was almost certainly Reggie since Bruce did not lead except by dping his job on field.

i doubt he expects to get much back but he can make sure he holds all rights to whatever money comes out of this trash heap. if he gains the total rights to the patents from the app he might make a few million there right off the bat.
