[Rolling Stones at the Ralph concert thread]

Amazing show. Not overproduced and had a very natural vibe.

 

My only complaint was that the crowd felt a little muted. That could be just me comparing it to a regular game-day experience, but I was expecting a little more noise.

 

There were 20,000 less people in the venue, that was probably part of it

[Rolling Stones at the Ralph concert thread]

Also - the Sheriff's department guys directing traffic at the corner of Abbott and Milestrip following the show had no idea what they were doing and are going to get someone killed. Same thing during Bills games - it's terrible. Abbott also needs barriers between the sidewalk and the street - way too many close calls with pedestrians last night.

[Rolling Stones at the Ralph concert thread]

Tremendous show. 97 Rock was replaying the concert on the drive home, and I'm amazed at how good those guys still sound.

 

Richie Sambora came in and stood in the front row right as the show started and got a nice ovation, and a guy who looked very much like Tom Petty was seen by the barrier prior to the show and drew tons of attention.

[Q&A: Confident EJ Manuel builds on adversity of 2014]

I'm perfectly fine with naming him the starter for the whole season because 1 of 3 things will happen:

 

-He'll play good

-He'll play bad and we can finally move on from him

-He'll get hurt again, we can label him "injury prone" and finally move on from him

[Bills working extensively on screen passes during practice!!]

None of their awful QB's can throw more than 5 yards - we knew this.

[Article: Josh McCown could have been the answer at QB in '15]

The best QB the Bills have right now got booed off the field multiple times at home last season.

 

Think about that.

[[closed]Should we pick up Michael Vick?]

Given our current depth at QB...would it hurt?

 

He wants to play:

Hint: no

[Bills to announce record-breaking season ticket sales]

 

approximately 2,500 season Tix are remaining. I can see that being eclipsed in the next few weeks

 

On April 23rd they had 55,000 season tickets sold - it took them nearly 2 months to get to 57,500. I don't think they'll get to 60,000 by the time the preseason starts.

Chef's is overrated and the portions are small.

 

DiTondo's is right down the street and much better:

[Bills to announce record-breaking season ticket sales]

Always been interested in the percentage of seasons that are scalpers/brokers. When you look at available tickets on third party sites like stubhub, there are listings of entire rows. My point is, the record might be broken but that its overstated by the change in NYS scalping law since the glory years when I would bet my house that more tickets were owned by actual fans than are today.

 

The season ticket reps I talked to this year actually mentioned StubHub by name and said buying season tickets saves money over StubHub - they know they're losing money to StubHub. No one wants to go to the November/December games if the team's already out of contention by then.

[Matt Simms has good chance to make team]

We had garbage-tier quarterbacks last year and went 9-7, one more AFC win and the Bills would of playing in playoffs.

 

So how are we getting to 10 wins if we haven't improved the team

[Matt Simms has good chance to make team]

We have garbage-tier quarterbacks that are going to cost us games when they count. Stop making excuses for them - this season is going to be a disappointment.

[SI: Bills could have interest in Ray Rice(update-they don't)]

I'd rather have Adrian Peterson

[Is "Buffalo Stance" really about Bruce Smith's pose?]

I'm too young to remember this - is it true?

 

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=buffalo+stance

buffalo stance

 

To stand with your arms tighly crossed looking over to side at somebody. This comes from the pose struck by Bruce Smith of the Buffalo Bills in the late 1980's

 

 

[Wes Welker still available. Who wants him?]

Any GM who signs a player who is already very likely to suffer lifelong affects of head trauma is a scumbag. In my personal opinion, that is. Winning isn't that important.

 

...so Whaley is a scumbag for signing Kevin Kolb

[The return of an Empire Sports type network?]

I think shill is too strong a word, but it's no secret he works for the Bills, as does Chris Brown.

 

But it's also funny how much people loved Empire but forget they were essentially owned by the Sabres. So everyone there from Art Wander to Mike Schopp were shills too.

 

Remember when the Sabres players would get mad at the Hockey Hotline guys criticizing their play? Good times.

[The return of an Empire Sports type network?]

It's all about controlling the propaganda

 

Listening to John Murphy, one of the region's most credible journalists, turn into a corporate shill has been sad

[Is the Flutie Curse over with?]

Have him Lead the Charge for home opener and then it will be over

 

The Bills trotted out Norwood during a home game in 2011, and that was the exact moment the season started falling apart

[Is the Flutie Curse over with?]

Put him on the Wall of Fame.

[Brady/Patriots fines]

[Former Jills suing the Bills]

 

Pegula needs to do the right thing and give these girls their money and reinstate the squad and put this behind us.

 

Agreed

[Jerry Hughes ruins practice...]

If you have to ask the question, it's probably true
