Getting weirder? Nope…I was always weird. 😉

Mind boggling? Why? It’s the exact topic of the book. Architecture is simply the setting used to demonstrate the principle of artistic property. You seem to be tying yourself in knots trying to justify ways in which you’re able to peek through society’s peep holes.

So if I’m understanding you correctly you believe that once an author, painter, or musician makes their work known/available it’s essentially open season and you’re free to take or consume their creative effort without any payment in exchange? If so, you really need to read The Fountainhead.

Library? What’s a library? 😂 Regardless, it’s really not analogous. Current bestsellers are not available in the public library. You generally have to buy them in a bookstore or online.

Ha! Ya see? That’s what I get for going to Europe for a couple of weeks.

The school districts actually do get paid by the kid in California. They report their attendance on a specific day in early October every year and that sets the money they receive from the State. The teachers union then negotiates with the district on pay and benefits based on that funding figure. And yes, it quite often results in the union agreeing to larger class sizes in order to get the teachers a pay increase. It’s math. The more kids in the room; the more money the teacher makes.

Anyone watched or watching the Netflix series called Sirens? It’s a dark comedy/thriller about a well-to-do family on a New England island. But…the main characters are from Buffalo. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many Bills paraphernalia images and references to the team/city in a television series. Hilarious! PS: Happy Father’s Day

Yes, but it appears that some people think the same should apply to water coming out of the pipes in your house. Just whip out your jugs and fill ‘em up!

Since the earth is covered in water, why am I always being asked to pay for it? 😉

Yikes.

What would really be interesting is the Top Ten players who played for the Bills but went on to bigger things after leaving.

Sure! Let’s hear your thoughts on sex. It’s still the offseason. 😉

I don’t see any of this as a ‘moral’ issue until you breach a contract you’ve signed.

Seems like a few on here don't want to pay to watch something that they aren't required to watch. They just want to complain about the cost of watching it. I can tell you that I can very much afford it, but even I cut the cord on the DirectTV over a year ago when Sunday Ticket got (in my opinion) 'not worth it'. And it's only gotten worse with YouTube. So....I now share the price of a 'subscription' with my Son-in-Law, and we watch the Bills games as a family. Issue solved! I've found that I really don't care about watching the Seahawks and Chargers playing somewhere later in the day. There are much better things to do with three hours of my weekend.

Is there a chance they thought they were actually signing Shaq Lawson (not Thompson)….again?

Thank you! That’s EXACTLY correct. Mark Andrews catches the two point conversion and this entire thread disappears. One week later Dalton Kincaid makes a catch instead of letting the ball go right through his arms, this entire thread disappears. Somebody needs to make a play when it ACTUALLY MATTERS !

Reading all the back and forth I’ll admit I’m confused. So you’all are saying the new stadium is NOT a dome? Why am I just hearing about this now?

Or….Kincaid could just catch the damn ball.

Aha…thanks. The total roster math didn’t make any sense.

So your plan is build the stadium in Des Moines and put it on the back of tractor trailer to get it to Orchard Park?

Are you sure? There are at minimum 100 players on a major college football team. You’re saying that every single year 95 of the OSU roster are going to be playing in one of those three leagues? I find that hard to believe. Without crunching the exact numbers I think that would mean that every NFL team would need to take on two Buckeyes every single season. Really? I think the Bills currently have a total of THREE (not three per year).

I find it absolutely fascinating that you know that.

How run heavy is it if Cook finished right in the middle of the league in rushing yards? Is it more balanced than in previous seasons? Sure. But the Bills offense is definitely not run heavy.

I assume you know that when someone wraps something in SINGLE quotation marks it means they’re paraphrasing something, right? Double quotation marks means you’re quoting something exactly. Regardless, I would say that most close games are good games no matter what the sport.

I’ll chime in again here. Many of you are simply asking and answering the wrong question. The question is NOT what’s he worth in the league. The question is what’s he worth to the Buffalo Bills? Based on his production for the Bills he deserves to be paid as the 15th highest RB. Almost exactly in the middle of the pack. Based on his potential production for another team that number would almost certainly be much higher. But …other teams don’t have the NFL’s reigning MVP at quarterback who’s expected to carry the team in a passing dominate league.
