I think you need to read that again.
Anyways -
Denver the city & Colorado the state aren’t paying. The word usage didn’t specify that. 👍
“Denver” in the colloquial usage refers to the franchise / team.
“Denver, who has an owner with a net worth 5x of the next richest NFL owner, contributes nothing.”
It just implied “Broncos” to me. The city of Denver doesn’t have an owner. => ‘Broncos contribute nothing.’ I did editing. It was just an unclear sentence to me.

Lol, that’s EXACTLY what I said.
Bro, your sentence said that the Denver owner is contributing nothing. -

I thought this was interesting. Denver, who has an owner with a net worth 5x of the next richest NFL owner, contributes nothing. Otherwise, the Bills are on the lower end of these new builds. I don’t know if any of these numbers can go up or down, but if so, the Bills may end up with the least public contribution because their stadium is furthest along. At any rate, I thought this was an interesting look at it (assuming it is accurate):
You’re mis-reading that. It’s saying that Denver isn’t going to / planning to use any taxpayer money to finance their stadium construction.And… just to reiterate. The taxpayer contribution is being paid back by the Bills, over time. NYS & Erie put some of the stadium cost on their credit cards up front. So… It’s like a low or no interest loan. It was not a grant.

There’s no more season ending IR. Bass can stay on it and come back if something happens to Prater knock on wood
No. There’s only so many IR placements that are designated/eligible-to-return. Eight for the whole season. An additional two for the playoffs. -
They had one replay with the center Linderbaum pulling, jumping over DT and then blocking a LB. When their OL is getting to the second level untouched, that doesn’t speak volumes about our DL. Happened a couple of times.

All IR designations are technically to return at a 4 week minimum, correct?
2 hours ago, Doc Brown said:You can still put someone on season ending IR I think. Bass was put on the designated to return IR I think. Prater should be fine in the mean time I think.
IIRC, teams can use 8 IR placements per season with a designation to return. And can use IR without that designation for all injuries that are considered season-ending.-

I think it was more of a case of Copeland and Summers hating Sting because he's an arrogant, self-important, pretentious jackass.
Like they aren’t, if one really knew them / they had as much publicity as Sting? 🤷♂️ -

Obviously that's a substantial portion of it but no, "songwriting" involves everything you end up hearing in the final product.
So “Don’t Fear the Reaper” is mostly credited to Albert Bouchard (played by Will Ferrell) b/c ‘You’re gonna want that cowbell!!!’-

Another article says the pair claims they weren’t given song-writing credits in the early ‘80s when it came out. So I guess they’re seeking a larger percentage of the song’s profits since as well as a share of the substantial rap sampling use that Sting sued for and won.
QuoteSummers and Copeland argue they were instrumental in shaping the song's final form, with Summers' riff and Copeland's contribution being defining elements.
I dunno. The time for this might’ve been… ohhh, say… 40 years ago. Also I had thought songwriting credit was for lyrics. Which, were Sting’s. As the story goes, he wrote it in 30 minutes after waking up with them in his head.
Credit for instrumentals and such follow underneath on CDs I’ve ever bought. And that percentages of profits was a thing worked out by signed contracts prior to / during / shortly after the album was produced or a tour done. Always wondered what percentage a frontman gets for vocals and instrument vs. band members who only play an instrument.
Like, hell. Ringo didn’t ask for songwriting credit for “Yesterday”, did he? That was Paul’s song. WTF?!
They’re just looking for a bigger cut after the fact and how court rulings have gone in the last decade or so about royalties.-

They can’t be installed until AFTER the Super Bowl parade. Nobody wants them completed covered in ketchup and mustard. The cleaning bill will be ridiculous.
Imagine kayo. 🤢Friend of mine sculpted & installed the Jonathan the Husky statue on campus in the mid-‘90s and it’s just iconic. I used to rub / pat its nose before every exam for good luck (I graduated summa, so…), and it appears that others do as well. Larry has been called a few times over the years when there’s graffiti and whatnot. Once, when someone took a polish of some kind and buffed Jonathan’s male anatomy so it was gleaming and he had to try to re-patina it.
Part of any statue, just like architecture, is how people are going to interact with it. Some kids ride on the back during grad pictures. Last year, GQ did a photo shoot of Paige Bueckers for their cover and feature story and he was thrilled when someone sent him the picture. All it needed for perfection 🤌 would be for her to be smoking a cig while in this pose.
Of course, at 16 feet for the tallest bison sculpture, posing would be less intimate. I’m not sure / haven’t heard if they’re going to try to cordon off the area so people can’t go right up and touch it / them. Which would be kinda sad.

Also where’s the update on when the Big A$$ Buffaloes will be installed? 😎
I don’t think this was the winning artist [ link ] but this proposal has an installation timeline of late April - late May 2026. I would assume that would be the rough dates the proposal invitations were given by the project management. -

"Come the fall, and even in the next few weeks here, we're gonna start to see some color in the building," Polka said. "One, the natural grass field, we're targeting that for October, beginning of November. But the other thing that'll be going in the next few weeks are the seats, so we're gonna start to see red and blue in that building. In the next few months, certainly by the time the end of the year rolls around, we're really going to see some excitement and vibrancy in that building."
A bunch of nice pictures from 27 August and general update as the stadium is ~70% completed.

Have you seen the Red Sox' yellow unis?
Those are the City of Boston colors that the Boston Marathon also uses. It started as a tribute they wore on that day and to memorialize the bombing. As a Sox fan, I like them… but would prefer less frequent use. But damn, they have really stacked up the wins while wearing them and you can’t argue that. -
The eight Rivalries sets will apparently be revealed today. Miami’s were already leaked last night on their team page before being removed, and feature a black jersey, pants, and helmet with aqua numbers and orange names and details. Honestly just more black for black’s sake (BFBS in the uni forums).
Hoping ours are better. Teams will be wearing them one game per year for the next three years.-

Browns denied construction permit for the new stadium proposal.
https://www.cleveland.com/news/2025/08/new-cleveland-browns-stadium-would-interfere-with-airplane-traffic-state-aviation-officials-say.html?outputType=ampQuoteQuoteThe Cleveland Browns’ plans for a new stadium near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport have hit unexpected turbulence from state aviation officials, who are denying a construction permit on the grounds that the proposed stadium would obstruct air traffic.
Ohio saying the stadium would need to be reduced by 58 feet from highest point in order to satisfy state (and federal) regulation / standards. In May, an FAA report noted the standards but said the standard itself doesn’t automatically make for a no-go and that the height didn’t make it a hazard to the nearby airport.
Josh will be wearing a visor this week

Buffalo Rumblings is reporting that Josh will be wearing a helmet visor this week vs. Miami after he was hit on the nose Sunday. He was wearing the visor in practice today.
