  1. It's hard to have a meltdown when the Bills win 12-13 games each season. From a media standpoint, the ending of the playoff drought was a drag because it took away their biggest red-meat issue to fire the fans up with.
  2. Interesting Twitter thread. I had no idea the Patriots haven't raised prices since 2008. (But their prices have been obscenely high for tickets and parking!)
  3. I'll bet Jerry's schedule is free. FYI, Howard's cousin Jason Alexander (yes, George Costanza) is starting his own daily podcast. I wonder if Howard will offer any pointers?
  4. Season ticket sales are at a record 63,000, and there is a wait list. Prices are climbing. Everything is unicorns farting rainbows when the Bills are good. I hope demand remains decent when the lean years return.
  5. While Sal is a big part of WGR he also has a lot of side gigs. I think being locked in to mornings would limit his other interests.
  6. The Bills employ dynamic pricing for individual game tickets. Some games cost more because of anticipated demand.
  7. The Bills have done this before during the ill-fated Toronto series. In years where there was one-fewer home game, they raised the per-ticket price, but what you paid for the package stayed the same from the previous year. Then the following year you package price would go up but the per-ticket price stayed the same.
  8. Except they don't compete directly, though the two leagues will overlap by a couple of weeks. Does that mean players could play in both leagues? We'll find out. In the meantime here's a primer on the upcoming XFL season. https://www.cbssports.com/xfl/news/xfl-2023-primer-schedule-players-coaches-rules-everything-you-need-to-know-about-rebooted-league/
  9. They really don't have that much time off. 6 weeks of carefree time at most.
  10. Both leagues are "second chances" for pro players. And that's how everyone should look at it. Are there NFL cuts that can improve with added coaching and experience? Last year 51 USFL players got NFL camp invites. And as of mid-December 2022, there were 2 active roster and 19 practice squad players with NFL clubs.
  11. When you finish first, you play more 1st place teams.
  12. Or people launching weather balloons for giggles now that our military is in overreaction mode.
  13. They left for Vegas. How far is Orlando? XFL Schedule Season kickoff is Saturday (Feb 18) at 3pm on ABC
  14. This Super Bowl had the highest percentage of offense generated by the ground game (.360) since 2007 (.423.) Would you had thought that would happen with two QBs who were #1 and #2 in MVP voting?
  15. There was one sneak attempt where a Chiefs lineman dove over the line and made contact with Hurts. But he was off the ground now and the Eagles O-line just moved him back like a leaf on an ocean wave. Yeah, it's the line! He what?
  16. Obviously, but the NFL has their pick of artists willing to perform for free, I would assume. Although "free" doesn't mean cost-free. Who pays for the lavish production? I assume the league does. Prince was amazing too. Being on floating stages suspended by wires might have played a part.
  17. I'm surprised by that but I don't believe that is the only factor in choosing a halftime show.
  18. And one handed to them on a platter.
  19. Assuming you're around my age, we went from being the "darling" demo (Boomers 25-54) to being mostly irrelevant. Time marches on.
  20. It's tradition now
  21. A lot of that might have had to do with standing on stages that were suspended by wires high above the field. I thought they were stable but one shot showed how much "wobble" was happening. That could not have been easy.
  22. Absolutely. By the way, did you notice all the old USFL footage and nostalgia being used? A legal settlement was reached with whoever had the rights to the original USFL to finally connect the new and old league. So expect to see lots of historical footage and original USFL players to appear on broadcasts. (Looking at you, Jim Kelly!)
  23. AC/DC isn't walking through that door.
  24. I thought the Bills had a high scoring offense?
  25. They run these auctions constantly. There must be a warehouse full of this crap somewhere. (FYI I once bought a signed Kyle Okposo mini helmet for $20!)
