Shouldn’t the Ministry of Labour be more focused on removing that redundant vowel from the word Labor? 😉

What’s the issue? I recall many years where someone would have a dolphin or a buffalo hanging from a noose INSIDE the stadium. Would people rather have seen an American Indian? Is the issue about the noose or who/what was hanging from it? Geez, people!

Let’s really piss them off by coming out in our 1960 throw back uniforms that featured Ralph’s silver and blue roots. 😂

I’m going to assume that you haven’t attended a London game. If not, you should put it in your bucket list. It’s actually a blast!

Shaw….classic….”it was like walking into a TV show we were just watching”. 👍

Yuck….not a single one of those away destinations intrigues me for our annual road trip.

Can he kick an extra point?

Ooof!

Why are we not measuring for first downs anymore? Was there a memo?

So for those who wanted one it appears that the retractable roof in BOTH Dallas and Indianapolis are now broken.

People, come on! The NFL positions a referee directly under each goalpost just so that they can make these calls. If those guys are so incompetent that they can’t look and see the ball then there’s a way bigger problem here!

Huh? Have you never seen a football bounce off the crossbar or goalpost and bounce wide or low?

He don’t ‘return’ from an injury. He was suspended! I’m pretty sure he can work on his conditioning while suspended. In fact, he should be FRESH.

Footballs regularly hit the goalposts…but some bounce in while others doink out. The camera wouldn’t solve the randomness of the way a football bounces. Just saying.

Von is done! He can no longer turn the corner on that knee.

Have you seen Detroit? They’re burying everyone.

I haven’t seen anyone mention it but where did Worthy go after halftime? I’m guessing we did some big time adjusting.

I hate to say it but Von Miller is toast.

Hey! Get out of our construction thread! 😂😂😂😂

He flat out sucks!!!!

The steel contractor takes the raw steel from the supplier and turns it into beams, posts, and columns. For example, a simple “I” beam is made by welding together two flanges and a web. The original three pieces are simple flat stock. Likewise a simple steel tube post, first has to have a top and bottom plate welded to it before it’s delivered and installed. Make sense? Different companies do different things. The farmer grows the wheat, the grain company processes it, and the baker turns it into bread.

No. The steel supplier isn’t the fabricator. Just like the lumber yard isn’t the framer….and the concrete plant isn’t the concrete subcontractor. One supplies the material and the other cuts it to length and installs it. And interesting tidbit is the metal deck contractor (you can see deck being installed on the roof canopy) isn’t the same trade as the steel contractor.

It is….however it generally doesn’t impact the cost of a specific construction project. Most people don’t understand that the contractors lock their prices in at the time of bid, before ground is ever broken. It makes no difference what’s happening to the price of bread. Make sense?

Can somebody make sure Josh is getting enough sleep. He looks completely out of it! Ugh

In most construction projects it makes no difference when the raw tonnage of steel is purchased. It’s a risk either way for the subcontractor. The price could go up or go down months after their bid. They cannot fabricate the steel into columns and beams until foundation work is complete and final measurements are taken. I hope that helps. As I’ve tried to communicate many times within this thread, I have no idea how the various clauses of this contract work. I can see it being possible that with the rate of inflation being what it was at the start of construction, the builders may have negotiated a clause protecting them against ANY increases. Again, I’m not saying they did. It is FAR MORE likely that price increases are due to the Bills Ownership decided to upgrade amenities, not inflation at all.
