It has to do with the phases of the moon. Ash Wednesday & Lunar New Year are always the same week.
Answer:
Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 21st, the Spring Equinox.
You'll note we just had a full moon earlier this week.

As we’ve established, Christmas Day is celebrated on a specific day (December 25th) every year, but NOT on a specific day of the week, like Wednesday.
So seeing as how this Sunday is Easter Sunday (always on a Sunday but NOT the same Sunday) can anyone tell us…without looking it up…..how is the date for Easter Sunday determined each year?
PS: It’s one of the few trivia questions that I actually know.

Seeing as how the Rams host the Bills this season I’m going to assume his Contract includes a No Intercepting Josh Allen clause.

These are some very odd comments. You’all are aware that Christmas isn’t always on a Wednesday, right?

Well, I mean since they are playing on Wednesday for our benefit, it being a holiday and all, I guess we should be grateful that we don't have to toil in the fields that day and watch the entertainment the Lords have provided without question then.
If you prefer not to watch in some sort of protest…..don’t. Stick to The Man with all you’ve got. Odd that you choose to draw the line on Wednesday (not Christmas Day) but you do you!

Why else play on a Wednesday other than that?
As for greed when I see people trying to milk every dime they can out of a community while at the same time buying a 200M boat I'll call it as ai see it.
I’m guessing it’s because the opportunity exists to play on a national holiday. And also because anyone who wants to watch an NBA quadruple header should have their head examined! 😂

It seems a reasonable place to start. If you're acting like a turd just because you can we can consider adding you.
A turd? Nope. I just find it hilarious that people find it so easy to bash on billionaires. Everyone is ‘greedy’. And, my problem with this latest decision has nothing to do with greed.

Did he look good in shorts?
Apparently he had just left the driving range when my son-in-law got there wearing a Bills cap. Hailee is from the area.

I'm tired of people who aren't billionaires sticking up for billionaires and the crappy things they do. It normalizes their greed and excess and that's a problem.
I see….so we only cross the greed line at Billionaires? I’ve got a ways to go so it’s still open season for me.

Well thank goodness! If they had t changed this I was swearing off the NFL forever. Forever….I tell you!

There isn’t a single change that’s been made under the current Commissioner that I’ve agreed with. And that streak continues with this one.

I like football as the much as the next but I have almost zero interest in watching it all year long.

I’m hip to this scene…but not to the rule change.

I know he’s working on his golf stroke. He was at the driving range right by my house the other day. 😉

Thanks as always for the excellent overview. As I look at the roster the one player/position that stands out is TE. Can the Bills really afford to pay Knox big money to be a back up tight end? I would think they could find a trade partner for his services…either for a decent draft pick or a starter at one of their couple remaining positions of need.

Ah yes, it sounds like this new stadium experience and ticketing presentation is REALLY going over well. (But I hear there’s a free PowerPoint.)

There's a little more than a fine line there.
To start, we're talking about billionaires, people that have all that they or their extended families could ever need in a lifetime. Let's not forget that while the negotiation process was going on, the Pegs bought a pricey yacht. That amidst cries from Kim that they had a lifestyle to maintain as somewhat of a slap in the face of many fans. Let's put that in a different yet not nearly as egregious context.
Suppose a small business owner wanted a state/county $100k grant to expand their business and claimed that they needed the money for it because, as the Pegs stated, they didn't have it. Then while negotiating for that grant they went out and bought a brand new car claiming that they had a lifestyle to maintain? How would that look to the people from whom that grant was coming?
All that while they bilked the state and county taxpayers for $850M more, many of which are not Even Bills fans.
The NFL is evil greedy. The individual owners want more than what every business wants, they want the public, beyond game attendees, to pay for their business expenses.
Are you under the impression that most large companies you purchase goods and services from are NOT owned by multi-millionaires if not billionaires? They are!

And that is what the NFL wants. They want the riff raff as someone said, gone from stadiums. To hell with how long they have been die hard fans.
And it's Terry Pegula, not other owners, the state or county,that gets PSL money.
I think the NFL wants what every business wants. They want their customers to pay more money for the products and/or services they provide. That doesn’t make them evil. It makes them…normal.

I’ve seen a couple of people reference my comments about timeshare presentations. Please note that I didn’t say those presentations were either good or bad. What I’ve said is that the Bills appear to using the STRATEGIES and TACTICS of timeshare presentations to sell seats in the new stadium. It obviously works for timeshares, or there wouldn’t be any.
PS: I’ve been ‘invested’ in a timeshare for over a decade.

This was from their survey, which seems to be where your current seat is.
Location: Lower level between 40- and 20-yard lines
Coverage: None
Heating: None
Annual price per seat: $1,900
One-time PSL: $4,850
I assume the PSL you quoted is per seat?

Has he ever been to Carolina?
Ever driven through it?

But the PowerPoint presentation is free!

Seems really odd! Does he get fired from both if he only screws up one?

So did he leave the building yet?
He’s required to sit through a 90 minute presentation (which includes a PowerPoint) before he can leave.

NFL will play 2 games on Christmas-day which is on a Wednesday this year.

I agree. Seems odd to be so concerned about a change that hasn’t happened yet and one that would only impact your team about once every ten years. Most people are pretty much done going to church, opening gifts, etc long before these games would kick off. So just like Thanksgiving the games will become some often needed background noise while families gather to chat, celebrate the holiday (and/or a welcome excuse to ignore their annoying aunts, uncles, and cousins).
