  1. Sams Club and Costco do. If your above mentions are in tiff districts, then yes you pay every year in property tax lost that must be made up by raising yours. If tax welfare is funded through bonds then again you keep paying locally. If fed money is given you are paying via income tax. virtually all those locations also charge local and state sales tax. Just 4 states have no sales tax. You are splitting hairs.
  2. get some salt. Head injuries and CTE is prevalent in hockey, UFC, kick boxing, Boxing, Rugby, Soccer too, so that would need to go away along with NFL. I don't see it happening. Too much money at stake. More likely advances in head protection increases and rules change to lessen head trauma.
  3. it was a metaphor. And i was talking about tax on car sales off your comment about buying a car. Document car tax in Delaware. 1500 to over 2 k per car.
  4. not possible for Bills to play Jaguars. Jags play one home game in UK per year. Bills game is a Bills home game moved to London. Bills game to be played in Hotspur stadium 2023. Jags play in Wembly in 2023 BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills will head across the pond for a game during the 2023 NFL regular season, the team announced Thursday morning. The Bills will play at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The opponent, as well as the date and time have not been determined yet. This will be the team's second trip to London. They traveled there in 2015 to play the Jacksonville Jaguars. "We are proud to be selected to participate in our league's international games in 2023 and continue to help grow our sport globally," Buffalo Bills EVP and Chief Operating Officer Ron Raccuia said in a statement posted to the Buffalo Bills website on Thursday. "The NFL has done an incredible job with this initiative. We're excited for Bills Mafia to experience Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, one of the primary design inspirations for our new stadium scheduled to open in 2026." The game in London will replace one of the nine designated home games next season. The Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, and New England Patriots are among the other teams selected to play internationally next season, according to the Bills. The team and NFL say the Titans will also have a "home game" in London but won't face the Bills. The Jaguars are set to play at Wembley Stadium in the UK.
  5. was that the game the Bills TE ran straight to the sideline stepped out of bounds and then turned and caught a catch a pass from EJ? For a loss. or was that a Tyrod throw? I think it was EJ
  6. in total Walmart collectively per company has received Billions to build all their many many locations. same with Target, Home Depot, McDonalds, fill in the blank ___________________developers of strip malls etc etc...... they all get tax welfare. And they in total get much much more than the occasional sports arena being built as sports are getting less and less public input. Developers and private businesses getting corporate tax welfare are increasing as the states and localities fight to entice them. Just mention a Tesla or Lowes warehouse or Bass Pro or Amazon HQ, or a Casino, to an area, and they will rain money down on them to get them.
  7. lol... it is startling until you realize: yes stadium construction is much much different now with so much more sq feet, scoreboards, electronics, wi fi, better locker rooms, workout areas, restaurants, much more dynamic concessions, fan areas, kid areas, standing room platforms, overhangs, heated areas, domes, Mega amounts of suites, it goes on and on. can't even compare the cost anymore. It is not an accurate comparison. it is like comparing the old Hoosier Dome and Metro Dome to the new Domes that have over double the square footage. yes you are. it's called sales tax lol....lol
  8. yes they are, in the form of tif districts and direct land donations and tax incentives, every time they move and build a new super center. Walmart too.
  9. 1. agreed. Many diff ways to look at it. It is like the circular argument. 2. every team loses the %cut of the visitor team money when they play on the road and then that gets funneled into the G4 program. So it is direct money of Pegs and every other owner they do not get. It is their money.
  10. as i pointed out the PSL's in this deal are fundamentally different than in any other. Pegs contributes a set multi millions as i set forth per the deal. No stipulation PSL's intake affects his contribution. State wanted a guarantee and got it. Pegs as owner of Bills is only one who can sell PSL's. Pegs as owner keeps 100% of the PSL money. If he can't sell any PSL's or only sells $50 million of PSL's he has no recourse. The deal is done. If he sells $100 billion of PSL's he keeps all of it. State and County have no recourse to ask for more. You can bet Pegs will try to keep the amount of PSL money taken in, a hot secret.
  11. value of Bills rising does Pegs no good. He does not borrow money off the value of the team for operating and he is never selling in his lifetime. After which time his kids likely take over or sell then. It would be like you buying a house at age 21 with about 20% of cash you had on hand in bank liquid. Then living in it your whole life to 85. Does not matter one bit what the value of that house is at any time as you are never selling it. You in fact would hope it does not rise in value too much as it makes your property taxes jump up if it does.
  12. we have gone over this and we disagree on it. I still believe PSL money is Pegs. He choose to do PSL's as part of the funding and opening up the G4 loan from NFL. Pegs and Bills have pd into the NFL G4 loan fund for decades and will pay in in perpetuity by taking Bills cut of tickets when they are on road when Bills are visitor. so it is Pegs money getting spent. So i give it to Pegs on the ledger front. I know you and some others do not agree. It is just my categorization of it. Partially due to the following also: If Pegs or other owner wanted to move a team to newer richer city, they could dig in, refuse to offer PSL's, then not Q for the G4 loan, and insist on more public funding that would not come, to then grease the wheel for the team to escape to richer pastures. This option was very plausible for Pegs in this market and he could have dug in and insisted Bills WNY market cannot support PSL's and most believe that. Especially the State believes that as you read on: and finally. This stadium deal is fundamentally different from every other PSL funding deals in history. Pegs is funding all his portion up front including cost overruns to be determined completely separate from PSL money eventually brought in. And it has absolutely no bearing on how much, how little, or if any PSL money is raised. Or if 20 trillion is raised. Pegs is locked into the deal as is. State wanted no part of this unknown and got Pegs to agree on the deal as is.
  13. that's funny as hell lmao........but truly it's his money either way. 🤣😂😂i don't think this is what they had in mind with the "Choose Love" campaign.
  14. no i did not. All those are good things. Point is Pegs is responsible for it. It is still a cost overrun and Pegs is responsible.
  15. Now reported the deal is for $1.54 billion and Pegs is responsible for the $140 million additional cost from the original of $1.4 billion. so we have cost overrun before one shovel is in the ground yet. lol. Considering the long construction timeframe, the volitivity of steel and supplies prices, some add ons these projects always get, and some inevitable construction cost surprises, you can bet this will approach 2 billion when done. Pegs is responsible for all cost overruns. I was widely criticized for harping on Pegs would end up paying over 50%, however, that is on track as we speak. NY state 600 mill Pegs/NFL 550 mill(250 mill is from NFL program Bills pd into for decades and will pay in for eternity. So is Pegs contribution. Bills actually eventually will pay more into this then they get out of it until next new stadium is built in Buffalo) Erie Co. 250 mill Pegs 50 mill for Highmark demo. cost o-run 140 million Pegs cost. so Pegs is paying $740 mill already. Almost 50% already.
  16. you live in a moving van?...wtheck...lol that's a lot of stuff to load and unload.
  17. that's funny..... wonder how many takes. That thing can grow and grow and grow.
  18. it was also leaked they will not get that and have come off the high ask and will only get similar to the Brandin Cooks trade like a 5th and 6th.
  19. sounds like she added void years to you contract?.....lol
  20. everybody should know what people say when the say dome. E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y don't get caught up in semantics. 🙄 ex: technically SoFi is not a dome or a roof. It's an open air canopy. stadia w roofs??...lol..you mean fixed roof or retractable roof or spinning sphincter iris type like ATL. no team drafts BPA.(it's all lies) All teams draft BPA in the position of need they have.
  21. yeah they are like the O'Brian Texans West lol a media guy had an article that restructured DHop with some void years could get his cap hit down for Bills to 4.5 or 4.7 this year. That would be amazing.
  22. McKenzie was cut so he does not help Bills comp picks if he signs elsewhere. He would be a non CFA signing. Compensatory Picks - Over the Cap.url
  23. Chris Williams OL was bad before he got here and bad here. Ko Simpson DB not even worth a million. Donte Whitner back tackler expert.
  24. nice e v a l and info. Probably most added will add UDFA
  25. the weather made the d callers play soft. Bills need a dome to excel in post season.
