Best value picks in Bills history?
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall
I love Josh but actually you expect a 7th overall pick to be quite a good player. As a divisive pick (at the time) from Wyoming, he's exceeded expectations even for that lofty draft position for sure. But no way in h*ll do you expect your 4th round receiver from Division 2 Kutztown to make the Hall of Fame. That's called serious excess value vs. draft position. (not that the college really matters in either case but it certainly adds to the story). Tom Sestak in the 16th round is probably #2. Jason Peters, Robert James, and Fred Jackson as UDFA's are amazing but that's a different list. -

Bull Dog WGR Rant from Last Night
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Gobills14094's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am in total agreement on the foul ball thing but had a situation once where I made an exception. I was at a Tokyo (Yomiuri) Giants game in the Tokyo Dome, sitting along the left field line. Early in the game a ball is hit foul in our direction and hits and rolls right to my feet and stops. I pick it up and then give it to the nearest kid who was running down towards the foul ball. It's a nice moment as I had never gotten a foul ball and the kid was very excited (and gracious and polite, of course, being Japanese). Around the 8th inning we decide to leave and ascend the stairway up the aisle to the concession area/hallway that circles the stadium between the lower and upper deck. As we are near the home plate area a loud bang! happens and a foul ball that had rocketed backward, down the tunnel, off the wall, rolls to my feet and stops. I picked it up and despite some kids running down the aisle, decided the baseball gods REALLY wanted me to have a game ball that day, so I kept it and have it to this day (this was 20 years ago). -

Highmark stadium seating question???
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sight lines in the stadium are good everywhere. For me, and realize this isn't for everyone, I really want to focus on watching the game and sharing in the communal experience of rooting for the home team with a bunch of like minded fans. I have found the Club level seats, despite their high cost, have been worth it the past several years as they are more likely to enable this scenario. The reason is that in other parts of the stadium where I've sat, there is a large focus on drinking massive quantities of beer (and subsequently going in and out a dozen times to use the bathroom and get more beer) and in posting selfies on social media and texting during the game. All of that is fine, people are welcome to enjoy the game day experience as they see fit. But I found myself sitting amongst them and wondering why I didn't just stay home and watch it on TV, relative to my stated objective, above, of focusing on the game itself and doing it with a bunch of strangers who are not strangers on game day because we are all rooting for the Bills. -

Kim Pegula is receiving medical care

There could be scenarios where this is the case. Just hoping it's an unfounded rumor... -
Kim Pegula is receiving medical care
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
If Jessica shows up and plays in Wimbledon in a few minutes, then this rumor must be wrong. Not gonna let her play then tell her "Oh by the way, Mom died today, and good luck in your match tomorrow!" -

Training Camp schedule is out now
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall
They didn't move to Fredonia until '81. You must have been at Niagara University. Edit: Just looked up the training camp history to confirm my memory on the NU to Fredonia move. I did not remember that the training camp site before Niagara was the Sheraton Camelot Motor Inn in Blasdell! Oh how things have changed... -
I mean, Johnson City is a good 140 miles from Albany, but OK.

Your understanding of finance and legal entities and how corporations work is astoundingly incorrect, yet it doesn't stop you from continuing to double down on it. Impressive.

NFL looking at ways to improve the Pro Bowl
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think it's less that the game is rougher, more so that the money is larger. More at risk for a meaningless game. -
TM Ticket Exchange versus Stub Hub alert
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thanks. I guess it makes sense. If you price it as desired on TM TE and get your price because StubHub's marketing reach is able to get someone else to buy at an even higher price, so be it. But as a buyer don't look to StubHub first... -
TM Ticket Exchange versus Stub Hub alert
Bob Chandler's Hands replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall
Does this mean that StubHub will basically buy your tickets on TM TE simultaneously (with a bot doing it) with selling them on StubHub at a higher price?
