I guess I’m showing my age. When I grew up in WNY the stadium was filled with actual football fans…not just people who went there to drink there own beer in a big parking lot. I’m hoping that the return of a consistent contender will help to lure the fans back.

Thanks 716....but that's not the point I was making. The big dome proponents on here were trying to sell it as a multi-use venue. I think they just really wanted to sit inside. The only way that made any sense, if it ever did at all, was to put the stadium downtown. Once that ship had sailed back down to Orchard Park, the dome discussion lost it's central mission statement. I personally believe the new stadium will be fabulous, so long as it caters to the football fans that have always been the core of the Buffalo Bills faithful. It has to be a great place to watch a football game....period!

We Need a Third Party
SoCal Deek replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Our current cabal of corrupt elected officials won't even vote to exclude themselves from profiting from their positions of power.....and you think they'll vote to make it so they have less of a chance from getting re-elected. Not going to happen. But I definitely admire your optimism! 🙂 -
We Need a Third Party

Thanks. I’m game, but seriously doubt it would result in the improvements we clearly all want. It’s far more likely that over a short time the new party would simply be swallowed up by whichever existing party it most closely aligns with and whole lot of people will be conveniently, what’s the word….. disenfranchised. -

We already have alternative parties in America. They rarely, if ever, have gotten enough votes to gain office. -
And yet he apparently felt good enough to drive out to some river and do a ridiculous Code Red climate change photo op. This administration is a total clown show. Who’s really pulling the strings of this puppet President?

This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated… dammit!

Impossible… he did the virtue signaling fist bump, instead of a handshake! Where’s Mary Poppins when we really need her? -
Thanks....but nobody said going to NFL games was intended for 'geezers' like you and me. We're supposed to be sitting at home, letting a new generation of hardy young fans develop their own memories. With that said, when the new stadium provides you with indoor, plentiful restrooms, wide open concourses, and a covered seat, I'm guessing you're in-stadium experience will be extended by at least a year or two! (That is of course if you live to see the new place. 😉) Go Bills

The dome or no dome discussion seems to have gone down a new cul-de-sac. I thought the original essence of it was to have the stadium (if funded by public referendum) (and probably if downtown) be available for year round events, thus getting more return on the investment. Now that it’s going in Orchard Park and the funding is secured, are there really that many people who still want it to be completely indoors? Really? Speaking as a once long time season ticket holder, but admittedly no longer living in WNY, I loved sitting outside and the experience would only be better if I wasn’t getting wet. I never minded the occasional snow…that was actually fun.

Impact of Dobbs and Abortion Laws
SoCal Deek replied to ChiGoose's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I keep using the line Trust the Process because that’s where we are at this point and that’s how our system of government functions. There will be a legislative negotiation on a state by state basis just like there is on so many laws and regulations each and every day. It makes no difference what my personal opinion is (I’ve tried really hard not to offer one), or my faith, or yours for that matter. Each state’s legislative representatives will now sit and deliberate and I’m guessing that each will come to a slightly different nuanced compromise. And just like all laws there’ll be some amendments and tweaks along the way as new circumstances arise. If I was a betting man I’d say the majority of states will end up with a first trimester limit on abortion. How about starting a poll? Now THAT would be a great thread! Much more fun than having everyone screaming their personal opinions into the message board abyss! -

All of his rambling might be the reason to stand out in an open field with a river as a photo op background to announce a new clean water bill but what do his personal ‘health’ stories have to do with a Climate Emergency? Doesn’t anyone anywhere ask these questions? -
I’m sorry, I’m not sure I understand where you’re going with that. Please expand.

Okay Mr Genius. If abortion is completely private and unchecked, then what’s to keep her from being coerced by her pervert relative (brother, father, uncle, etc) from threatening her if she doesn’t? Answer: it happens all the time.

Andy…I’m not painting you as anything. I’ve never said anything like that in the entire debate. I’m the only one on here actually calling for calmer heads to prevail. Everyone else appears to want to scream past each other. -
And you know how she feels being returned to the home of her rapist? I see. And your professional training is what exactly? Are you even a father of a daughter? A father at all?

To a great extent you are correct. The problem with your stance is that you give no voice to the voiceless victims of this horrible procedure…the yet to be born infant. I’m confident a balance will be struck.
