Does anyone actually know how the lease agreement works for the Bills and Erie County/NYS? I have a decent amount of background in corporate leases, and I can tell you, the "landlord" makes out like a bandit. The renter pretty much pays everything, while the landlord just collects the money. The renter is responsible R&M, utilities, CAM, etc. on top of the rent payment every single month. How much does the Bills/concerts/other events pay to use the stadium? This is a lease, so I'm assuming anytime the stadium is used, a payment would need to be made. If the Bills are paying to use the stadium, then NYS/Erie County should be the ones putting the money to build a new one.

Let us pray: Jesus, in our upcoming training camp and season, we ask for your protection over all of the players, on our team and the opposing team, so that no one is injured during the training camp or season. Please wrap us in your wings so that we can all play an enjoyable game that is safe and responsible. Help us to follow the rules and not be tempted to do things that may end up causing harm to others in our effort to win the game. Amen.

With Beasley potentially being gone and Sanders struggles, you need more weapons. Ertz is a nice big weapon.

The issue would be with the building. Nothing to do with the test. If your building can't sustain that, there are issues with your building.

Unfortunately, it's 159 now. Surfside building collapse latest: 159 still unaccounted for as death toll rises (msn.com) Clearly the ground underneath the building was not stable, and looks like maybe there was a deep sink hole or something that gave away causing everything to move just enough for it to come crumbling down.

For the people saying it's not news, and no one cares: Do you think if he was seen out holding hands with a guy it would have been major news? My guess, it would be all over TMZ and the internet, that would have created a huge distraction. My point, if it was found out he was gay, it would have been news, so this is obviously something that needed to be done by him in order to control what is speculated about him. That's why he did what he did. Society would have made a big deal about him having a boyfriend, and that's just the truth of where we are as society. It's not as status quo as some like to project. Nassib does this in the offseason and now he can be free to show his love in public with a boyfriend, and it not distract from the season he is about to play.

He coaches with Washington.

The issue is that the vaccine isn't 100% at preventing COVID. Beasley's lack of respect for the protocols will play an impact on teammates who had the vaccine. He needs to be sat down ASAP and determine if he wants to retire so the team can move on. This can't prolong.

Let's just ignore the fact he is 34 years old, multiple season ending injuries, 11 years already in the league, a new team/city, far from his family, and has more than enough money to live off of. He has also won a superbowl already in his career. How soon people forget about Boldin.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Sanders retired. Sounds to me like he realized that he is starting to fall behind with guys in the league and guys coming into the league. This could have been a wake up call for him, since he didn't show up to many OTAs.

According to Sal, Sanders had a really bad day and never spoke to media, which he was scheduled to speak at. Interesting. Wonder if we see some competition brought in between now and TC, someone like Stills.

Doubt it. Fitz would have found a way to not make it.

They were 3-7 outside their division. Is that getting "far"?

Even is Fitz's good years, he isn't good enough. Wash needed to upgrade the QB, not roll with Fitz. It will be their demise. Their front 4 is good, not sure about the defense as a whole. Not to mention, what the heck have they done to that O line. I don't get the overhype of Wash. They got lucky being in the NFC East.

I'm talking recent. Since 2015 National Championship, they have been largely a disappointment. There has been consistent good teams during the last 5 years, and Duke has not been one of them.

They haven't been perennial top 10 in years with K. I just don't understand what you are trying to say. K is not leaving on a high. Quite honestly, the last 5 years have been some of the worst coaching performances in CBB. Coach K has made Duke, but he is not Duke. They have become their own brand now. The college bb brand will never be the same, that applies to Duke too, with or without K.

What do you classify as "winning"? Lots of traditional power houses are not winning national championships and it doesn't change anything. The hate will always be there that people will tune into.

K built the Duke brand. That brand will still be there, meaning the top facilities, most national exposure, connections. good conference, etc. Not sure who would want to play under K's coaching recently. These players went there for the exposure they receive at being at a school that gets the most televised games.

About time. These old guys just can't keep up. CBB is a different world. It's literally all about recruiting for one year. I can see why Scheyer would be next in line, he has been the main recruiter for Duke.

If it says still processing, don't expect anything till at least Aug, prob later. It's this new system the IRS put in a couple years back where it automatically pulls returns to be manually approved based on changes in your return from last year to the current year. Unfortunately like everything the government does, the software is horrible and flags too many returns that have no changes or issues. Your return will need to be manually signed off on by an IRS agent and they are millions of returns behind, especially since if you used your 2019 earned income for the earned income tax credit, those all have to be manually sign off on because the system couldn't handle that change. The good ole government for you. Forgot to mention, they cut funding to IRS and have less staff too.

Ahhh, the classic "respect for the game" Also, Brooks was nothing but class playing with Mickelson, even after he rubbed him the wrong way when Brooks was a kid. Those feelings just don't go away and Brooks put it aside to be nothing but a great competitor on Sunday, even after Phil should have been docked for slow play plenty of times on Sunday. No to mention that the security lost complete control of the crowd. How is that Brooks fault? I'm curious how many interviews you actually listened to from Brooks. From your response, it sounds like zero, which I don't understand how you have a strong opinion if you really don't know.

Brooks is a realist about golf and for that, I'm a fan. He says what 95% of the people think about golf. It's takes too long, you don't even know what hole you are in in the middle of the course, the majors are the only tournaments people care about, etc. It's a game, and Brooks treats it that way. Doesn't take it seriously and is out there to make some money.

Think it has more to do with Gaine still collecting from Houston and not wanting to move his family back to Buffalo again. We will see when his kids get older what he eventually does, but right now he has a nice gig.

Got my second pfizer on Friday morning and man it hit me hard. Was not expecting it to be that bad. Friday night was like a full on flu. Every symptom. Sat felt so weak and achy. Had a really bad cough too. Had to take an inhaler. Late yesterday, I now have tons of swelling in my armpit from the arm I got my shot. Looked it up and they say its swollen lymph nodes and could last 1 to 2 weeks. Really questioning what the heck I just put into my body. I can't have my arm rest against its side and certainly can't sleep on that side because its so swollen and sore.

Elon toying with the market is exactly why I don't do anything with crypto. This needs regulation bad.
