  1. Fixed it. So did Ifedi actually sign?
  2. HEY-OOOOO!
  3. I'm not as "out for vengeance" as some fans are. Terry has a lifetime pass with me because without him, this team would be the Bon Jovi Bills playing in Toronto. Has he screwed up? Plenty. But both teams are trending up now. Realistically that's all you can ask for.
  4. Listen. 98% of team owners are novices. No one comes in with a degree in owning a sports team. You are imagining a thing that doesn't really exist. There's also a good deal of luck in winning titles.
  5. I hope you aren't holding Stan Kroenke up as an example of what we want in Buffalo. Actually it's easier than ever. 32 teams, half get in. There was once a time when there were 21 teams and 16 got in.
  6. What a bush league move!! They waited until preseason was over, THEN they give us a crappy discount??? Holy flippin' hell, I'm mad.
  7. Oooh, you got me. Can't argue with that point.😂 Nothing ever changes, right? Once you suck, you suck. That was 9 years ago. Let me catch you up. The Sabres have put together one of the best young rosters in the NHL. Hockey isn't like football. It takes a few years to build a team, especially though the draft. But take a minute and Google top NHL prospects and see how many Sabres show up on that list. These Sabres are akin to the 2019 Bills. Then how do you explain how good they are now?
  8. How early did they cancel the MIA-JAX game? (I really don't know.) If it was early that would suck for people who bought tickets.
  9. I can tell you haven't paid attention to the Sabres the last two years.
  10. It's simple. Much of the country doesn't grow up with hockey. It's an expensive sport to play as a youth and you have to find arenas to play in.
  11. Is he related to Bob Dobbs?
  12. It's 5,000 but point taken. It's a joke.
  13. The NHL prefers expansion to relocation because expansion comes with a fat fee that was $500MM (Vegas) and $650MM (Seattle.) Houston and Atlanta (believe it or not) are being mentioned. Salt Lake City wants in as do Kansas City, Hartford and Quebec City. But as a Buffalo sports fan, I never relax and think our teams are set. Yes they are...kind of. Any attempt to move the team would incur an $850MM penalty. But the Bills are worth around $4B right now. What would they be worth in, say, Toronto? $6B? $5B for a Toronto NFL team sounds like a bargain. Not saying that's gonna happen. Just that a $1B penalty isn't as big an obstacle as it sounds.
  14. You need to explain this. The last expansion fee was $650MM. If that's stupid, sign me up.
  15. Define losing money. Operating loss? Sabres: Probably. Bills: no way. In the meantime both franchises tripled in value.
  16. Hard to say. There's still concerts and stuff. But the building gets used at least 100 dates a year now.
  17. I had to check. Sabres are actually worth $610MM according to Forbes! A 22% increase in one season!
  18. Yes way. We have the highest ratings for the NHL, but the number of actual viewers is still dwarfed by any other market.
  19. My worry is the Sabres are worth 2X-3X more in any other city. I don't know what their lease situation is but I bet they aren't as tied down as the Bills are. (And the Bills aren't even that tied down when you really look at it.) Both. QC is not getting a team.
  20. And they can say they were professional football players. The worst guy in an NFL camp is still a hundred times better than most of us.
  21. Here's hoping, and hoping they are coached well too. They open at Wisconsin a week from today at 3:30pm. Big Ten TV. Sneaking up on the Badgers would be a great way to start.
  22. I just saw it. Only 2 minutes behind. Psyche!
