  1. As many posters have stated: pressure for a new stadium comes from other owners looking to boost revenue. It's not about game day experience or other such tripe, it's about money (mostly from suites).

     

    Here's the rub: WNY is a small market and will never rake in the revenue the owners desire--new stadium or not. A palace could be built, and revenue will be flat because WNY just doesn't have the economy or population.

     

    So then the question becomes: when will the owners pressure Pegs to move the team to a larger more lucrative market? Will Pegs cave to that pressure to move?

    Playoffs again this year. Tom Brady is 48 years old and he will start playing like it. We’ll be competing with the Jets for the division. I’ve also had 3 bloody Mary’s already today

    Yuk yuk yuk. Hilarious. You over state Tom's age by 8 years. Obviously, the Bloodies affect your keyboarding.

     

    I'll have what you're having 'cept I want Tito's vodka and Clamato.

    There have been about 10,000 memes created from this scene.

     

    For those who haven't seen it, the movie is called "Der Untergang" and was marketed in the US under the title "DOWNFALL".

     

    It is an outstanding film and I highly recommend you watch it! 

     

     

    It's free here to Amazon Prime customers.

     

    I watched it yesterday. It was very good, in a dark kind of way.

  4. Related. Warren Buffet, who owns the BN is hiring a company to manage 30 of the newspapers he owns.

     

    Warren Buffett Chooses New Path for Newspapers After Lamenting Decline

     

    Interestingly, Warren is not subcontracting the management of the BN. That indicates to me that the BN situation is better in comparison to other newspapers. That indicates Warren's confidence in BN management, and Warren Buffett is no idiot.

  5. Implied by the article read as a whole: Sully lost his column because Sully's negative tone did not fit the new business model where most revenue comes from reader subscriptions. The consultants probably made that point very strongly.

     

    He was not exactly fired. He just lost his column. Sully is gone by his choice; he accepted the buy out. Admittedly, maybe shaming him into a buyout by killing off his column was the master plan. I wonder what duties they planned for him had he stayed: a new restaurant reviewer?

     

    Per the article: the BN was surprised by the number of people taking buy outs. But they stood by their word that buyouts were available to all.

     

    Good read from Buffalo Rumbling.

    Why should he give anything back? Double dipping? What are you talking about? That would be him getting cut, them signing with another team, failing a physical and being paid by both.

     

    The guy was hurt fulfilling his contract for a business worth billions. He shouldn't give a !@#$ing penny back.

     

    The multimillionaire "was hurt" but you make him sound like a laborer at Galleria Mall. His signing bonus is more than you'll make in your lifetime. Remind me not to hire a callous mercenary such as yourself.

    Again, find owners saying negative things about other owners and I’ll be impressed. I didn’t say anything negative about her. In fact, I said the fact that she’s a “real person” is a blessing in that room. She can provide a perspective that Bob McNair can’t. The point was that it means absolutely nothing that, when asked on the record, her business partners said positive things about her. It would have been a story if they didn’t. Every single time owners are asked about other owners on the record they give the same lip service. It’s not just her, the same things are being said now about Gayle Benson and the new guy in Carolina. 

    I apologize for calling you cynical. It was the beer talking..
