  1. Get ready for: ”other teams do it too, therefore it is okay” ”ya want the team? deal with the prices” ”shut up and pay” For what it’s worth, I agree with you. This whole timeshare style sales process is ridiculous.
  2. He did these things you mention. but it certainly wasn’t “all” he did. - He also yelled at Allen on the sidelines of a playoff game. - He also left the stadium after a playoff game without saying goodbye to any teammates or coaches. - He also left minicamp causing McDermott to say he was “very concerned”. - He also implied that Allen’s success was due to him, just days ago on twitter. - He also made numerous cryptic comments. - He also got Beane to trade him. Which, if all he did was “work hard, produce, and elevate the level of the team”, wouldn’t have happened. The media doesn’t just throw dice to pick a random player to make up narratives about. Are they making up narratives about Shakir? Cooper Kupp? Jefferson? Amon Ra St Brown? No. They follow stories and have been known to embellish, yes. But Diggs gave them PLENTY to run with and embellish.
  3. That's exactly what he is saying. It is what happened in NY. PSL owners got "stuck" with their PSL's and can't off-load them because they're practically worthless. So they sell the individual tickets online. Eventually many PSL owners default on their payments, creating more PSL's on the market (this time sold by the team). But no one wants team bought tickets because they're selling on the resale market for penny's on the dollar. And then there is the 5k or so holdover individual tickets that the team doesnt sell as seasons.
  4. This is exactly right. And it plummeted the PSL market.
  5. This is undoubtably true in my opinion. A 60,000 seat stadium in Buffalo will sell out. But that has nothing to do with PSL prices.
  6. Yes. And keep in mind "wait lists" is primarily marketing. Washington boasted of their HUGE wait list for over a decade. Then the Washington Post did an expose that exposed that it was all a sham.
  7. In 2010, the Jets waiting list was over 10,000 deep. PSL's sold for $25,000 each at the 50 yard line. 7 years later, those same $25,000 PSL's were for sale for $4,500. That's only 2 years after going 10-6. Economics is undefeated.
  8. You should be able to get around 25-40% of what you paid for them at the 5 year mark.
  9. Definitely never said that. They will sell it out. Could be. PSL’s will plummet regardless. Jets had a 10,000 person waiting list a couple years ago while PSL’s were selling for penny’s on the dollar. One problem with resale, outside of no intrinsic value, is that people don’t want to go get a $10k personal loan for used PSL’s that now have less time remaining of them.
  10. A few years back I had a visitor that wanted to see some table slamming (like it's a tourist attraction. We looked all over and wondered the lots and couldn't find any. I know it happens but it wasn't easy to find in my experience.
  11. I must be sitting in the wrong sections, because Bills games are pretty tame. Especially compared to what they used to be. You used to see the yellow jackets swarming sections and breaking up fights and escorting people out all over the stadium. I rarely ever see that any more.
  12. Translation: Bend over. You are buying something of no value. Reminds me of the Dr. Seuss movie where a character was selling bottled air.
  13. Fred Jackson. He deserved a playoff team. And the way he was cut with that Weasel general manager lying to him.

  15. If Andy Reid is on the sideline for us next season i'm going to feel pretty good about our chances.
  16. Just had time to sit down and calculate this. So there are obviously 31 other NFL teams to which Diggs could potentially be traded. And each team has more or less a draft pick for each round, so lets assume 7 draft picks each. That's a total of 217 draft picks (31 teams * 7 picks each). 1/31 * 1/217 (due to not knowing which teams draft pick) = 0.00014865467 So that tweeter correctly guessing the right team and right round of the draft pick has a probability of 0.0149%. Or if we assume they guess the right team first and then just have to guess the draft pick we have 1/31 * 1/7 = 0.00460829493 or 0.461%.
  17. I'm not sure if you're saying I did a good job or a bad job haha. If it's the latter, please feel free to correct me. I did my best to give a summary.
  18. Twitter: Is Stefon Diggs the reason for Josh Allen's success? Random person replies: Diggs is great, but he is not the only reason for Allen's success. Diggs replies: You sure about that? If that is the type of stuff he will say in public, I cant imagine how he acts behind closed doors. You dont throw your QB under the bus like that.
  19. The comment he made about Josh yesterday was enough for me.
  20. Im not listening. Was it more of a "we let Josh know beforehand" or "Josh signed off on it" before hand?
  21. I wonder if Hammer has received an offer. He was close before. He is right next door now.
  22. Thank you. I appreciate that nice post. As for the org chart, I often fail at humor. Things I find funny, most don’t. It’s a flaw of mine. And then sometimes i’ll post or say something that people find hilarious and i’ll spend 20 minutes analyzing it, trying to figure out what I said that was funny. Go figure! For the record I found the image of the equation jumbles you posted quite humorous. I don’t mind ribbing as long as I know that it’s not meant to insult.
  23. Oh, you were “explaining” all this time while you were mocking me with equation talk and memes and images. Now I understand. Youre not explaining anything. You’re defending to n’th degree and if that means you have to ridicule someone, so be it.
