  1. Dawkins was early second round.. Torrance was second round Spencer Brown is the most athletic tackle in NFL history third round Connor was the third round pick of the cowboys While we don't have any crazy 70 million contracts we do above average pieces everywhere which is more than most the rest of the League can say
  2. I met him at Gothic Hill par 3 golf course in North Tonawanda Apparently he's there all the time
  3. Again being very similar is different than a carbon copy If I had 10 hours to break down film with you and show you differences in there checks and tendencies and alignment and personnel usage it would be show the difference The way you worded it makes it sound like shanahan disciples just leave with a copy of his playbook and directly implement that which doesn't happen that simply Kyle shanahan's offense is not Mike shanahan's offense, and Mike's was not Walsh's Football guys learn and adapt and grow... Does mcvays offense have shanahan's fingerprints on it.. yes Is it a direct carbon copy.. copy pasted from shanahan to LA with McVay with zero growth No
  4. I saw McVay wrinkles from day one honestly I never saw it as a complete rip-off of shanahan's offense ... It had a base of it but there were differences in tendencies There's always going to be similarities from a coaching tree lineage but at the NFL level you just can't take someone's playbook 100% and implement it The league adapts and grows and learns too fast for multiple exact carbon copies
  5. We lost some good players who are old and declining and replace them with faster younger people Everything the media said was overblown, I never doubted the bills were going to run the afc east again
  6. I've been high on the kid for years
  7. He's an old man now doing publicity stunts that is typically for the younger generation I'm sure he wanted to stop it 10 years ago... But he's so popular
  8. @SoonerBillsFan I talked to my Oklahoma booster friend yesterday and unfortunately for you he says they are committed to bringing back Brett next year They're not buying him out even though money is not an issue OC is gonna be a big acquisition
  9. I said I know labor unions are being used and that might make cost more expensive My friend's a plumber and his company was not working on highmark stadium... Yet 3 weeks ago they got a contract too And he's Union and getting paid well So they are adding new union labor The vice president of the build said inflation has happened
  10. I heard it's actually ahead of time but maybe they used more manpower More manpower is not adding hundreds of millions of dollars to the build but it will increase Especially since they are adding new features so maybe they needed to bring in some more workers for those features Again I never said it was hundreds of millions of dollars of Labor I just listened to the guy who was in charge of the project and he said labor cost
  11. John Polka, vice president of stadium development, said inflation played a significant role in the price jump by pushing up material construction costs. Two more contributing factors, he said, were increasing labor costs and design features that were added after the Bills completed their agreement with the state and county. “We could have stopped at some point and said, let’s cut back. And that was not the case at all. In some cases, we’ve actually gone back in recent months and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got an idea or something that we think will enhance the fan experience or give us a better competitive advantage,’” Polka said. “And that’s really a testament to the Pegulas saying: ‘This is what we want to build. We designed it. This was our intent. There were reasons behind it, and we’re going to move forward with that.’” According to the bills vice president of stadium development he says inflation labor costs and adding new design features to make the stadium better new designs , inflation and then third I would probably say is labor cost He does make it clear they are adding things that they were not originally which will obviously make it more expensive
  12. Well if they're getting paid hourly.. not salary And they're putting in more hours than thought.. that could increase labor cost I'm not a project manager but I would assume that if you have 300 people working.. and they are working more hours than originally thought that would be more money .. or if they had to call in more people to work 800 million added to the cost has to come from inflation and labor costs or a lot of it would I would assume I don't think it's coming out of thin air
  13. Did you pay for a PSL? I know plenty who are giving up their season tickets because that Spend a lot of time on the east side and most of the people I know don't even have cars who live there... About one in 2 people... I definitely seen some nice cars in williamsville
  14. Never said unions were bad.. fact they get good pay for the common people Now do I think there's people making $10 an hour on the Tennessee stadium? No but there is $10 labor across the country There's probably dudes working on the stadium in Tennessee for 20 bucks an hour... But the guys working on our stadium are getting probably 30 at the minimum and some are probably getting 50 plus dollars an hour Inflation has also been devastating on Western New York.. the cost of even raw materials has probably ballooned and that's where the real price change comes
  15. Well there's cheap labor around the country for 10 dollars an hour All of the union workers on the stadium are all getting a comfortable penny.. they're all getting 30 plus dollars an hour Add in inflation.. which was in my original post.. so inflation and increased prices of Labor Construction workers can get $15 an hour in Tennessee.. some of the union workers on the stadium are getting 50 an hour I never said it added a billion dollars but even New York state says inflation and labor cost has increased the price of the stadium Labor cost with good union workers is more expensive
  16. He's the king of Buffalo He's mobbed everywhere... Part of the territory
  17. You have the Gary Ridgeway of cats
  18. Yeah for sure As to why the cost is going hundreds of millions of dollars over I'm sure you know more than others because you're an architect right Obviously inflation and cost of raw materials is the biggest but I would assume also because they're using union labor and it's not cheap
  19. I'm saying there are crooked players in New York State whose hands are in the pot of everything that gets done If a big real estate deal gets done their hands in the pot If a big business deal gets done their hands in the pot New York is a crooked state Not that it was making the cost of concrete higher but I'm pretty sure some people's pockets got lined for getting this deal done Not that it would increase the price by half a billion or even be added to the cost but some people got their pockets lined
  20. And they're not watching because of boxing They're watching their favorite YouTube Star to win or people are watching to watch the youtube star get knocked out It was not about boxing so yes I agree sadly boxing is dead I haven't said those words for 15 years and I've been fighting it... After tonight I don't know where the future of boxing is going... It's not that the talent isn't there.. there are some really talented boxers Nobody cares about them Nobody cares about usyk or bud Crawford As I just explained it has nothing to do with boxing And this is coming from a die-hard pugilist
  21. I'd say he's just a very tense guy The interviewer was a very bright child and certainly knew that Mike was in fight mode and just different It absolutely wasn't a buddy buddy interview... Mike is serious when he does not think of his legacy and he doesn't care what people think
  22. It has nothing to do with his legacy It has to do with the millions of people who saw him be the youngest heavyweight champion ever And now lose to a YouTube Star turn boxer even if he's talented It's The end of an era Boxing is dead and the biggest draws are YouTube Stars and this is coming from a die-hard fan Tyson fury is on his last legs and he's been the best heavyweight in the last 25 years... Canelo is good but 70 fights in he's closer to the end then the beginning Terence Crawford is probably the best boxer alive and no one cares about him
  23. A lot of people's childhoods died today Remember father time is undefeated... Iron Mike thank you for your contributions to boxing
  24. I've been to plenty of places that have those scooters or e-bikes Most of the population of those places are not driving cars around everywhere... Boston had plenty but 35% of the population isn't driving cars Everybody has a car in orchard Park.. not like the City of Buffalo where there is close to 30% of the people with no vehicle There might be more e-bikes or scooters in the city... Everybody who lives in the suburbs has a car in orchard Park Except children
