  1. Boldin bolted after Beane shipped out Watkins and Darby. He said that had nothing to do with it. lol That he wanted to pursue his human rights work. That it is more than football.  Sure Boldin sure.

     

    Then weeks later tried to unretire to join a contender. Beane roadblocked that as he was mad he left Bills low on WR. 

     

    Bills then broke the drought and made playoffs lol.

    I don’t think there is a single Bills fan making the determination whether to watch them on TV, or attend a game, based upon what helmet they wear.  There’s no revenue in retro helmets, and the Bills jerseys of the 90s are so similar to today’s that people aren’t going to buy them either.

     

    The sole change I would like to see is the elimination of the red combo…but people buy those red jerseys so…

     

    i disagree w no revenue with throwback or alternate helmets. Collectors and fans buy them. Players sign many different types of helmets and are then sold too at high prices. I have seen Chrome, Black, Silver, and others not a team helmet color that players sign then NFL or collector sites sell. This is probably why Allen absolutely refuses to sign full size helmets. Might be contractedly not allowed to.

    Lou Piccone.  Great  kickoff returner.

    Also marginal possession receiver.

     

    Sort of a cult hero with the Bills.

     

     

    out of the blue, Howard Cosell went off about him singing his praises of never giving up and giving it his all during a MNF game Bills lost handedly. Funny stuff.....he was hard nosed undersized tough player.

     

    TE Rober Royal "can't get two feet down wide open in end zone vs Chargers at home".

    he was quoted in an interview same year his goal was HOF........ lol

    We can always use a guard. Let's beat the Dhop thread 

    looks like he restructured and added voidable years so it required agent/player and team renegotiation. 

    That was the time to address his perceived salary underpaid issue. Or he should have not agreed to the restructure. His agent blew it.

    He gets paid plenty for his output. Not NFL fault as players become FA and reset market higher.

    Wish fine was like in some Scandinavia countries based on wealth.

    yeah that would have been big. Up to 16 mill in some countries. Likely several hundred grand though in this case.

    Agree with most of this, but he did handle it in house, Diggs didn’t go to the media and air any dirty laundry or grievances.  
     

    This outside drama has been created by the media over speculation because of frustrations he showed during and after the Bengals loss.  
     

    He kept what the issue was, and all he he dialogue with the issue between him and the team.  

    omg have you not been paying attention!! 🤣🤣 Diggs constant cryptic tweets is what fueled "all" the media speculation run he got on whatever the hell was bothering him. And the more he tweeted the less we knew as he was speaking cryptic tweet.

    Here’s an idea The Hoodie, Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson,  Chuck Noll  are all defensive minded coaches all are in Canton Ohio and have a combined 15 Super Bowl wins….every single one of them has a Hall of Fame QB.

    completely different era long long gone 🤷‍♂️🙄🤷‍♂️

    the real reason BonJovi's bid failed to compete was because of Bon Jovi unwilling to give up controlling interest. NFL rules require controlling partner to have a certain % of the money in the bid. Bon Jovi was only worth about 450 to 500 million so his group was limited in how much they could bid in order to keep Bon Jovi as controlling partner. So Pegula outbid them easily.

     

    The other partners were Billionaires. They could have possibly outbid Pegula who was not completely enamored with owning an NFL team and only got into it late. And also due to Kim's WNY connections/desire.

    Pretty much standard anime intro music.  It's not for everyone so I can respect where you are coming from.

    ty.......i do like anime art very much.  I have not heard a lot of its own type of music though. 

     

    i will keep an open mind and give it a listen as i hit on it. This could just be a song i don't like.

     

    My music love has always been a work in progress. At one time i only liked rock and i hated all country music, Elvis, folk, bluegrass, electronica, hip hop, rap, etc etc,....now i love all of that except old old country but i appreciate old old country as it is the Genesis of the modern stuff that is pretty good.

    Which coincides to my favorite time to go. Absolutely love snow games

    well....Bills have about one real home snow game every 30 years or so. 

     

    Colts was last. Jets and Browns games were moved. 

     

    sorry your experience is going to be few and far between. Good luck though.

    Only if they’re paying the majority of his contract

    good point....... and i might add AZ can't pay his contract. New team assumes the contract as is.

     

    Hopkins can restructure any time and lessen the cap hit. Or even restructure with Cards first to lessen it for team getting traded to. Which is i assume, is what you meant.

     

    And Hopkins said he is open to a restructure, so his movement/trade is available. Interesting though also is speculation that Cards may just release him eventually.

    Ok. But everything you just stated also applies to the Bills and the new stadium AND, they are also charging PSLs. Again. You can’t say that all these companies are getting breaks and profiting but then not include the Bills. And you can add Sams Club and Costco all you want. That’s a membership fee. But if you really want to include them and their $50-100 membership fees to prove your point then I guess I’ll just concede and that you refuse to listen to any argument. So have a good day. 

    yeah i never said it did not apply to the Bills also...🙄

    if it's ok for all of them, why is it not ok for sports teams to do it?

    Source? Don't think that happened. You might be able to find money going towards improvements of roads, or tax credits - but I see no evidence of the government giving Walmart billions to build stores.

     

     

    Again, source?

     

     

    This is much much much much different than cash.

     

    Getting a tax credit to reduce the tax burden on a businesses land to incentivize them to come or stay, is way different than handing them a check for nearly $1 billion dollars.

     

    Walmart argues the amounts but not the receiving of the welfare.

     

    Walmart benefits from billions in government subsidies- Study.url Wal-Mart's Expansion Aided By Many Taxpayer Subsidies - The New York Times.url

    Question. If fans had a choice would they have chosen a renovation and no PSL’s at $900 million or what we’re getting at $1.6 billion and PSL’s that could be more? 
     

    I should add that a renovation would mean playing games elsewhere for 2-3 years.

    rebuilding would have ended up costing close to a new one and they would still have been left with an old crappy one. Not good money management.

     

    moving Bills to another site(Syracuse?) for 3 years during a rare SB window with aQB in his prime would have been the most epic failure in NFL history killing home field advantage making all games like a road game.
