    that's how they make their money.....

     

    So they can charge half the cost of a ticket? This doesn't including marketing and data selling, advertising on their site. They charge 15% to sell tickets and 10% to buy tickets and then sprinkle some of top. Considering their entire business can be done by computers (AI) it's just a whole lot of cash for nothing

    you seem to be conflating Ticketmaster which sells primary and secondary market tickets with StubHub, which is essentially a secondary resale business

     

     

     

    I'm talking about fees in general. My problem with these sites is the tickets go up... I'm okay with that but why are there 50 dollar in fees attached to every ticket?

  3. Up until he got hurt the was the Bills best player (even over Josh imo) and then it takes over a year to recover (look at Tre White). If this year he come sout and gets 12-13 sacks no one will be saying anything. It's an injury, it happens. If Allen tears his ACL in a playoff game that would effectively end 2 seasons. Injuries unfortunately happen. It's not like Miller tore his ACL doing something dumb

  4. I wonder if stubhub is next (or part of it). 

     

    Ticketmaster and Live Nation being together completely rigs the system. Artists can't work against Ticketmaster because Live Nation controls so many venues. 

     

    Tickets have gotten so expensive. I don't go to concerts but NFL and NHL games are crazy costly. Them you see an extra 100 because of fees

  5. The interesting thing about Tua is how it can be both bad to sign and to not sign him. On one hand you have the Dolphins paying him in the 50-55 million range and you have a good, not great, QB that isn't likely to get you very far in the postseason. On the other hand you let him walk and you can easily do worse and you blow and chance of having a successful team (who knows they could hit on a draft pick but you can do worse than Tua)

  6. I see Netflix having the rights of one of the major days at some point. Maybe SNF? They want to get into more live TV. It's funny I was just telling my friend that Netflix would be getting the NFL very soon.... I guess I didn't realize how soon.

     

    I split the streaming services with friends. I pay for HBO and Peacock and trade it around for others.

    8-12th?

    I don't think he would be the 8th best QB in the AFC.  

     

    Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Burrow, Stroud, Herbert, Lawrence, Tua, Wilson, Rodgers on one leg are all better than Goff

     

    Add in NFC with Prescott, Stafford, Hurts, and Purdy and you get to at least 14 and that is not counting the rookies.  

     

    Goff is in the top of the bottom tier of guys just ahead of Cousins, Mayfield, Carr, Watson, and Murray

     

     

    I think Goff is better than Lawrence, Tua and definitely better than Wilson. Rodgers is older coming off an injury so I'd put Goff above him too. He's around 10th. In the same group as Kyler and Kirk but above Lawrence and Tua

  8. It was fantastic. They absolutely roasted Brady and Belichick. Only thing that Brady ended was Kraft massage jokes. Brady definitely felt uncomfortable with the wife jokes early on. The whole thing was just savage. Brady admitting to Deflategate was epic

    Dolphins are banking on home field advantage throughout the playoffs. If they get that they're very very dangerous.  If they have to go on the road to KC, buffalo, cincy,  any of the tough cold weather places, they're screwed

     

    I agree complete but they lost to the Bills the week before at home. They were 0-5 against the top 3 seeds of the AFC last year. Their best chance was the year before last but Tua got hurt. If Hill gets hurt their offense becomes average

  10. Pretty much he's really good at everything except the deep ball. I don't even know if that's a problem considering his height and if Allen throws some more 1 on 1 balls I like Coleman's chance to catch the ball better than Diggs's. I think the Bills have their speed guy: Samuel and their two underneath guys in Shakir and Kincaid. Coleman is going to be the 10-20 yard deep cross and dig routes imo.
