If you were worth $500M, you’d care about the price of PSLs? I can’t fathom living in a world where the interest on my money gives off millions of dollars a year and thinking, “do they seriously expect me to pay $5,000 for the right to buy a season ticket?!?” 😂😂😂
I live in a world where my net worth does not determine my sense of value. It's actually a very nice world to live in.

After all the pros, all the cons, all the explanations, all the reasons, at the end of the day there will be some people who end up taking out 10 year loans at 10%, to be able to then buy tickets to go to a football game. I am not disparaging these people, everyone has the right to make their own economic decisions. I am saddened that such a situation has become normalized.

Greed and gambling will eventually be this and other league's undoing. The Ohtani story is going to blow up in ways we haven't foreseen.
Why would a working family prioritize a PSL over their kids education when the UFL offers something similar?
Currently, some college football players make NIL money in the hundreds of thousands, if not more. How long before some of their second or third string teammates decide they'll get in on it and make some cash by missing a tackle, missing a block, dropping a pass? How long before the public finds out? I put the over/under at 3 years.

Mine too, plus free parking! Plus someone to comfort me following a loss.

Different time and era. The league would probably pressure the Bills to move if they stayed in the current stadium. Many of the owners commented on the Bills in recent years that it is a great football market, but they need a new stadium to maximize revenues in the WNY. New stadiums, PSL fees, increased tickets prices is the way of life now in the NFL. The league has been marketing themselves in other countries to build their wealth. Sucks for the average fan who will be priced out but that is the reality now.
You're probably right. Just read in the Washington post comments about NCAA basketball tournament that I think applies here. "Like so many wonderful traditions in America, this one will die at the hands of money".

Honest question- how many Bill's fans would opt for 'cheap' Ralph Wilson, 'spartan' stadium (as it was described when it opened), no PSL, and tickets priced below league average. (I would, but suspect I am in a minority).

serious, not sarcastic-
How about on kick-offs, kick into the end zone
on kick returns, fair catch
on punts, punt out of bounds, as was very common years ago
on punt returns, fair catch
you are now down to only needing special teamers on field goal attempts and PAT's
benefits would be more flexible roster management, fewer injuries, fewer penalties
cost would be some loss of yardage in the punt game, I don't honestly know how much, and would hope teams have done an analysis so they could weigh these costs vs. benefits

The Bills are a team with-
1. a mediocre defense (injuries and coaching)
2. a mediocre run game
3. mediocre coaching
4. a very high-variance QB
A recipe for a maddeningly unpredictable team. They can beat anyone, lose to anyone, and probably end the season a game or two over .500

I have no idea if Pegula said this or didn't. Plus I have no personal knowledge of, or experience with him.
If he did, it's despicable.
If he didn't, it's a despicable lie.
Having said that, it is true that some older people start to lose their filters. ( Ask anyone who has lots of experience with seniors ).
And while I am not trying to add fuel to the fire, I wish somebody could be more definitive about Leslie Frazier's leaving the team.

I've often thought about this, and cannot come up with a reason. I saw my first Bills game 63 years ago (their first season) at the age of ten. I have been a fan ever since. I'd rather they win, but was a fan when they were horrible. It's more fun when they're exciting, but was a fan when they were horrible to watch.
I have no personal connection with any of the players. With free agency and salary cap, the players come and go, are cut, traded, sign elsewhere, retire. (I certainly couldn't keep all the Williams straight during their heyday). Few if any live in Buffalo full time. They certainly don't represent me. Yet I'm still a fan .
I don't even live in Buffalo anymore, yet will often exchange "Go Bills" with perfect strangers if I see one with a Bills jersey or cap. I really can't figure it out.

If he can only do one thing this offseason, I hope it's the bolded part of your post. Need a better run game and to protect Josh better. Von coming back should improve our pass rush.
a soon to be 34 year old who relies on speed coming back from a torn acl. How's that gonna work out? (see TreDavious White)

since we're talking about what may happen in the future:
Bills- 27th oldest team in the league
- 26th in available cap space
Sabres- youngest team in the league
- 1st in current and projected cap space
Given 17 yearly NFL games and single elimination playoffs vs. 82 NHL games and four rounds best of 7 playoffs, Lombardi trophy winner can be much more random than Stanley cup winner. In the NFL , a good team can have a bad game and be gone, a mediocre team can be hot for 4 games and win it all. In the NHL, a mediocre team has to string 16 wins in the playoffs. One or two bad games by a good team is not necessarily a killer.
I think we'll see a Stanley cup before a Lombardi trophy, unless the Bills get lucky (injuries, weather,schedule,official's calls, etc).

So if a minor is proven to have told people she was of legal age then it turns out she wasn’t…she should just be deemed a victim in the case and all blame goes on the person who believed her? Are they supposed to require ID verification before sex? It disgusts me how people let a liar off the hook and act like a defendant should have known the difference despite the person straight up lying! These are not liquor store clerks legally obligated to ask for ID. Get your head out your ass and be real!I am not assigning blame, I am not recommending what somebody does before sex, I'm merely stating that someone lying about their age does not clear a defendant of a statutory rape charge. If you think I'm wrong, say so. It's not necessary to be insulting to me because you don't like or agree with a particular law.

According to his attorney, the accuser admitted to coming in already drunk and agreed to consensual sex.
I say we all sit back and wait for FACTS to come out before rushing to judgement.
this attorney says Araiza didn't force her-doesn't matter
says she claimed to be 18-doesn't matter
says it was consensual-not possible, a 17 year old minor cannot legally consent to sex
this attorney is spouting nonsense defenses
I don't know if araiza had sex with this person, but if it can be proven that he did, he's guilty of either felony statutory rape, or misdemeanor statutory rape, depending on the DA's choice of charge
His only hope is that the investigators found none of his DNA in her at the time of the alleged incident, or that if they did, he can buy her off, and in so doing, purchase her non-cooperation with the DA. In that case, it's possible the DA drops the case.

You don't even know if he is guilty first of all, so stop. Second, I did not say anything whatsoever about the victim. But you do realize that you literally have zero qualifications here to even establish who is a victim and who is not? You haven't done any investigation, conducted any eyewitness interviews, etc. You read a story, and maybe like most only read a headline, and got online and decided to establish who is a victim and who is guilty.
So don't come at me with accusations of what I have a problem, because the only thing I have problem with is people jumping to conclusions before they even know the facts. I mean it's possible both her and Araiza are victims even. For example, how do you know that her and Matt didn't have consensual sex earlier in the night before she was raped by the other players after Matt left? I mean there are several eyewitnesses who said Matt wasn't even there when the alleged attack happened, including one of her own friends.
Everyone is 100% in support of cutting him and jail time if he is guilty without hesitation.
again-she, being a 17 year old minor, is not legally capable of consenting to sex

Not as much of one as you assume. All it necessarily tells is that he had sex with her. He already admitted to that. It doesn't necessarily tell that he raped her.
It is felony statutory rape, he was 21, she was 17. Doesn't matter if he knew her age or not, doesn't matter if she lied about her age, doesn't matter if she consented to everything, it is STILL felony statutory rape if he had sex with her, anywhere, anytime, under any circumstances, except if they were married. Then it could be rape, depending on the circumstances.

His attorney feels pretty confident about his witnesses and there are witnesses at the party. If she was drunk and also given a drug her memory could be very spotty unfortunately. That’s the problem in general with these types of cases. Often times they can be he said she said which doesn’t bode well if there was a rape and no physical proof. Matt could have had sex consensually and she could have been rapes in the room.
on the exempt list until it’s sorted out and cut if he is charged.
in california, a 17 year old minor is unable to consent to sex, in the eyes of the law. 21 year old Matt , birthdate 5-16-2000, cannot legally have consensual sex with a 17 year old. period

Don't put a dime onto the defensive side of the ball. With the current rules and officiating, and the emergence of QB's such as Mahomes, Allen, possibly Burrow, Herbert, and who knows who else will appear, who have great arms, legs, and heads , defense is becoming irrelevant. Belicheck with a good defense was helpless against us. Our "#1" defense was helpless against Mahomes. K.C. beat us with their very mediocre defense because of their offense.
It used to be good offense wins games, defense wins championships. No more. A topflight qb will generally beat a topflight defense. If your defense isn't going to win games for you, might as well have a mediocre one (K.C.), and put your $ and draft resources into protecting and enhancing your most important player. Do everything you can to build and improve and solidify the O-line.
It will help Josh, prolong his career, make your rb's and wide receivers better. With rare exceptions, defense just doesn't matter. If you don't believe this, show me one bills game this year that the defense won for us. I can't find one

I would think given that Beane & company likes to develop their own that who they have in their WR room will stay pretty close to the same Diggs, Davis, Mckenzie, Khumero, then continue to develop Hodgins & the rookie speedster they got in this years draft & could pick up another in this years draft if one falls to them .
I don't see Beane making a huge splash in that room maybe bring in another FA like a Beasley or some one along those lines that still has something in the tank & can contribute for a decent contract but won't cost a lot that's just the way he works .
Beane is building for longevity & is very cap conscious which a lot of GM's are not the only way i would see him blowing a lot of cash in FA is if the player he goes after would guarantee a SB .
And NO one player can quarantee a SB, no matter who he is

Yep, as long as we have Josh happy and healthy. I'd say a decade minimum. 15 years maximum. Somewhere in that range.
I'd say Josh, Beane , and McDermott

Perhaps posted elsewhere, but has a team whose qb's rating was 17 and lost the turnover battle 4-1 EVER won a football game, much less by 14 points?

PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
If I valued the PSL at over $1.00, I would buy it. If I valued the PSL at less than $1.00, I wouldn't. You can substitute any $ amount you like into that sentence. So I guess I'm on neither team. Many factors can influence how I value something, but net worth is not one of them. Net worth certainly effects what I am able to buy, just not how I value something. I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to describe someone else's world to you.
