Sportico releases 2023 NFL franchise valuations (Bills at 29)
PromoTheRobot replied to chongli's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not too be a Debbie Downer but that's an illusion. Worst case scenario: the team is sold and new owners want to move to, say, Toronto. But what about the billion-dollar buyout? So you pay $4B for the Bills PLUS another billion in penalty. So you're in for $5B now. An NFL team in Toronto is worth what? $6-7 billion? A billion dollars ain't what it used to be. Let's never let our guard down. -
Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)
PromoTheRobot replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
How effing nuts will it be if that stadium costs the same as ours? That wouldn't be right. -
I'm surprised by that. But I guess they will make sure every spot is filled. I still expect private lots to raise pieces. I've been paying $20 to park on a lawn north of Southwestern. Cheaper and easier to escape the traffic crush.

But just like the Bills, the Sabres are locked in their spot. Yes, values are going up but they are always going to be #28 or #29 because Buffalo. It's why I never relax about relocation. I don't think Terry ever would, but these teams are worth double almost anywhere else. -

It says "Native Americans" in the name. It must be legit. Curiously, this organization's stated mission is: EDUCATE NOT IRRADICATE (sic) NATIVE AMERICAN NAMES AND IMAGES UNED (sic) IN SPORTS ALONG WITH EDUCATING ABOUT NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY. They were formed in 2017. https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/821240491

Zero Bills Preseason Games on National TV
PromoTheRobot replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall
Every year since they started Game Pass, then NFL+, season ticket holders for a free subscription. This year I asked my rep and he didn't know if it was happening this year. That would suck. That and my Bills Bucks were the only perks I liked. -

For Terry's sake the Bills have to stay good. In the end, the new Highmark stadium will be known as the "House that Josh Built."

FIFA Woman's World Cup...USWNT looking to 3 Peat!
PromoTheRobot replied to Big Turk's topic in Off the Wall
I don't know if USA Soccer includes the MLS, USL, all the pro leagues in the US. Let me Google. Still not clear. They do oversee pro and amateur soccer, but I don't see anything about revenues from the national teams. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_soccer_league_system -
Florio: NFL considering XFL kickoff rules
PromoTheRobot replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall
I wouldn't do that. Officiating is all split second decisions. How would it affect you knowing you'd have to answer reporters questions on almost any call? But I did like how the XFL miked the refs and had the replays done on camera. You heard all the conversations. -

Yes. I said that. How much money does USA Soccer bring in. -

PromoTheRobot replied to Big Turk's topic in Off the Wall
But when it comes to what players get paid, it all comes down to what USA Soccer brings in. And let's be honest. The women's team has been way more successful...until today. -
It's the best source for up-to-date Bills news and sometimes gossip. @YoloinOhiowas the best but everyone chips in posting stuff the second it happens.

No true Bills fan would schedule a funeral on game day...unless it was a watch party too, which actually sounds like a great idea. -
FIFA Woman's World Cup...USWNT looking to 3 Peat!
PromoTheRobot replied to Big Turk's topic in Off the Wall
Revenue arguments aren't cut and dry. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/08/are-us-womens-soccer-players-really-earning-less-than-men/ The Women's World Cup definitely generates less revenue than the men's cup. But USA Soccer revenues are combined, and you can argue that the Women's team earned more revenue by winning 4 World Cups and 4 Olympic gold medals, than the men who only reached the World Cup quarters once since 1930 and only won a silver medal in the Olympics (in 1904.) As for this year's result, it's pretty obvious the advantage US women had thanks to Title IX has evaporated. The rest of the world takes women's sports just as seriously and have caught up. They can't just show up and win anymore. -

Well they have won titles. Just not this time. -

THANKS for 25 years of the Stadium Wall, TBD!
PromoTheRobot replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm pretty sure I was here from the start, or at least close. I know I signed up in '98 at what was then called HyperBills (weird name) and was affiliated with the Rochester D&C. -
