I'm actually falling asleep

LA looked Offside

Good show so far but I suspect it's all lip synced.

Gotta watch. Like the commercials.

How do you feel if you're a Lions fan?

You hand the ball off with 3rd and 17, you deserve to lose.

Can we do this any slower?

I have an idea. If a team scores a TD after winning the coin toss, they a declared the winner if the Super Bowl

What about this defensive play, or does it not count?

It sucks more to be winning then lose than to just get run over every night.

He's a Toronto-area native. Playing in Buffalo would put him close to family. Are you speaking of the Sabres and Oilers? Both suck. Either way I can't see how this would happen.

There are features being suggested like heated seats and heated field. That will wipe out any cost savings over a dome. In fact you'll be heating the outdoors. There is no stadium blueprint that I'm aware of. So how can they definitively say what it will cost vs a dome?

I am saying it could cost just as much. Depends how it's designed. It wrong to look at this like "a full roof costs X, so half a roof should cost half of X." Half a roof is an entire different set of engineering challenges.

A partial roof has to hold up weight, like snow, too. But that partial only has support on one side, making the engineering that much tougher. Plus you have wind. A closed roof only has wind on the outside. A partial roof could have wind shear above and below.

It's legal if you don't get flagged.

Technically you aren't. Look at your invoice. The Bills use dynamic pricing. Every game is a different price. Pre-seasons are the cheapest. Say you pay $1,000 for a season ticket. In your mind you think every game is a $100 ticket. But some games might be $200 and the preseason games $50.

How so? You still have a structure in free space. In fact since it's only supported on one side it's even trickier.

You know you're right. 🤪

To cover 80% of the seats costs as much as a full dome. The engineering is practically the same. Saying a dome costs too much is baloney. If they wanted to save money they'd have no cover at all.

Since we only get 8 home games this year the price we pay might not change from last year. But then they won't increase next year but have 9 home games. $$$$ They did this with the Toronto series when some years we'd only have 7 home games to blunt the perception of price increases. The NFL is an expensive club to belong to. EDIT: I'm wrong. I forgot they add a 2nd preseason game when there's only 8 home games. SO you're paying for 10 either way.

First, about Granato. He was hired to rebuild a team from nothing. So his winning % means diddly squat. This year, and likely the next two, are for player development, not a playoff run. Then there's Jack Eichel. He requested a trade before his neck injury. Then when the injury happened, he wanted the Sabres to okay his ADR procedure and be on the hook for his remaining $50MM if something went wrong. Would you do that for a player that told you he wanted out? You'd have to be a fool to do that. And let's not get ahead of ourselves. Jack has yet to step on the ice in a real game. It's a little premature to declare his neck surgery a success. As for the Pegula's, their Sabres tenure has been a train wreck. But why? It wasn't a lack of spending. It was hiring the wrong people. And just like the Bills, once they hit the right hire, things turned around. I think the front office under Kevyn Adams is the right guy. Don Granato is an exceptional developmental coach. While no players is fully worth a Jack Eichel, Alex Tuch and Peyton Krebs have been terrific. But unlike other sports, you can't turn an NHL team around a dime. Especially when you are rebuilding through the draft. You bring up 2014 prospects. They panned out but for OTHER TEAMS!! Tim Murray thought he could take a shortcut and traded away all our prospects and draft picks for duds like Robin Lehner, Zach Bogosian and Evander Kane. Kevyn Adams is not making that mistake again. So they've committed to a multi-year rebuild. They have a load of top prospects and a crap ton of draft picks the next two drafts, including three first rounders in the 2022 draft. So be mad that they suck. Be mad at the Pegulas. But don't be mad that they are taking the long slow road back to respectability.

I didn't need to know that. I live in So. NH. Fidium is an alias for Consolidated Communications. The only area in WNY they serve is Chautauqua County. Not every area is wired with fiber optic.

The Bills were left out of the NFL's international marketing assignments. You'd assume Canada but we didn't even get that. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-awards-international-marketing-rights-to-18-teams-in-eight-countries

Yes, considering Tim Murray emptied the cupboards when he was GM.
