RTW2012

The league modified its scheduling formula in 2010 to prevent teams from having to make too many West Coast trips. Under the modifications implemented in 2010, clubs now only have to visit one West Coast team (AFC West or NFC West), plus one western team from the same division closer to the Midwest. For those playing NFC West teams, some will travel to both San Francisco and Arizona in the same season, while others will instead make trips to Seattle and St. Louis. wikipedia

No alternates were scheduled to be unveiled today.

Either way, Bills fans are gonna butcher the name for years to come. Keuchly, Keekly, Keechly, Reif, Rieff, Rife.

While alternates and road jerseys will be marked with the same changes as the mainstay, Nike says they will not be a part of the Tuesday reveal. Some teams who could see significant changes today are the Seahawks, Jaguars, Dolphins, Panthers and Chiefs—although, none but the Seahawks has been confirmed. link

"Claims Private Investigator," who btw is trying to sell his new book. You left that out of the thread's title.

Stevie J. said in an interview a few months ago that the team will break out the blue pants this year. There has been no indication the Bills have a 3rd jersey this year. The only team expected to have a radical overhaul in their look is Seattle. Denver is making their orange alternates their primary jerseys. Jax appears to be making black its primary color.

Please point out for us where Ralph has repeatedly said this.

Biletnikoff Winner in 06, runner-up in 05. First team All-American 05 and 06. Not a bad resume, eh?

Elvis Peacock and one of my all-time favorite Bills' names: Durwood Roquemore

The father of the slug did not design that Bills logo. The slug was his first pro logo assignment. His story can be found here..

If your search for a championship-caliber qb leads you to Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst, then I think there's something wrong with your search parameters.

My advice to you- don't quit your day job to become a comedian.

Tim Russert's widow. Luke Russert's mother.

Mark Kelsay- you know, big Gazoo helmet.

An oxymoron is someone as dumb as an ox.

Somebody get Patrick Moran on this story, stat!

So if Johnson and Williams were first round picks, with the same production, it would be ok to pay them? BTW how much money have the Patriots paid to a 6th round draft pick and an undrafted player over the last five years? (FYI that undrafted player just got franchise tagged.)

I believe he was going for a Levitra boner joke there.

People seem to be going with a "gut feeling" that Bills' games generate significant revenue, i.e. hotels, restaurants, etc. Think about it, though. The Bills play 7 home games in a suburban stadium, away from the metro center. How many fans come from out of town? How many stay overnight in a hotel? How many out-of-towners frequent local establishments? I don't have the numbers to back any conclusion regarding WNY; neither does anyone else here. However, study after study after study after study conclude that sports teams' impact on local economies is negligible at best. No, none of those studies are specific to Buffalo; however, I doubt Buffalo is that special as to stray from the norm. The article in question states the last specific WNY study was done in 1996. What has changed since then? TV and merchandising revenue has presumably skyrocketed; however, neither affects the local economy. Players' salaries have increased dramatically; the article states players don't exactly drop alot of their cash locally. Fan spending? Well, there are fewer people going to games now, due to the decrease in seating and home games. The only real economic benefit to WNY would be if there are more out-of-town fans spending significantly more money in the local economy. That's the real question- is more out-of-town money coming into WNY, and does that off-set or exceed the cost to WNY to keep the team here? I don't have the answer, and no one here does either.

That was addressed in the article. "Not one Realtor would be impacted by the Bills not being here," said Maureen Flavin, an agent who specializes in high-end properties and has represented several Buffalo Sabres and Bills clients over the past 20 years. "So many of them rent, and the places they rent are highly desirable. I could rent those places out in my sleep. There are way more people who want to rent than places to rent."

The article states that installation of a grass field would then prohibit seating reconfiguration until after baseball season ends. Sounds to me like natural grass effectively ends the dream of a Toronto NFL team in the Rogers Centre, unless said team plays its first 3-4 games every year on the road. And if the Jays make the playoffs? The season would then extend indefinitely through October.

That's not Tebow's girlfriend. She's a British "Page 3" model.

Skip to the 21:20 mark of this podcast. link Stevie says they're rolling out the blue pants next year. The question is, will he still be in a Bills uniform?

This is pretty much the Bills' philosophy.

Exactly. Back when there were only 26-28 teams the league had stellar backup QBs like Gary Marangi, Dan Manucci and David Humm.
