Yeah that's true.

Judging by your name I hope we'll see you at the Harp a few times this season.

Godot will be here any minute.

I think you have too high an opinion of Ertz. He's got a lot of miles on him.

Hollister.

Tin foil hat take: Is this a way the Eagles think they can pressure the Bills to deal by getting us fans hyped up on Ertz?

Donnie Meatballs will be named head coach of the Sabres today. There's a lot of excuse-making for Jack being unable to succeed with the players he's surrounded by. I think there was always some talent on the Sabres and I blame the parade of bad coaches for misapplying it. But to me Jack never exuded leadership like Josh Allen does. Grant it Josh is in one of the best situations a young QB can be in. But I always got a woe-is-me vibe from Eichel. He expected others to help him succeed, not the other way around.

I leapt to a conclusion. https://www.ajc.com/life/music-blog/king-crimson-will-reopen-fox-theatre-will-farewell-tour-stop-in-july/CIEGEEXL4FCZBCZDOXNEK7IDJE/ They ain't spring chickens. And Fripp gets more views doing his Sunday Lunch mini concerts with wife Toyah

King Crimson is doing their final tour this summer.

If you are looking for breakfast or lunch, hit Perreca's in Schenectady. If you have time for a couple hour detour, go to Cooperstown, see the Baseball Hall of Fame and stop at the local breweries like Ommegang, Council Rock and Red Shed.

I need to understand. The cooler looks intact. Am I to assume some uncontrollable growth has taken over inside?

Go figure.

This is going to be the Sword of Damocles hanging over the Bills this season.

Yup, my first Bills game was at that Roman Coliseum knockoff called War Memorial. It looked hundreds of years old in 1969.

It's a good idea to ignore articles written in the offseason.

Tasker would be an Edelman-type receiver today.

I think you meant Boise State. Ball State wears red and black.

That seems to be the suggestion but does it have to be? Several other stadium projects were built side by side (Philly & Foxboro) Why can't they do that in OP?

Good cop/a**hole cop?

So let me ask you this. Could they get creative and come up with a plan that allows both? Lower cost being in the ground but with support points that allow a roof later? One idea I had was a "cloverleaf" design. Each seating section, both sidelines and endzones, are distinct, separated by supports in the corners. You wind up losing most of your seating in the corners, or maybe create areas with obstructed views. (Could be used for concession areas.) I got the idea seeing the Danish soccer stadium in Copenhagen. The Alamodome in San Antonio used the same plan.

Well I'm no architect but I have to imagine a lot hinges on the stadium footprint. One of the big reasons the original Rich Stadium only cost $23MM to build in 1973 was most of the stadium was built in the ground. The result was a wide bowl. Great for fan views but not good if you want to put a roof on. If they did want to put a roof on later they would have to limit the footprint. It would have to be a taller, narrower structure with stacked decks, like Foxboro, which was built totally above ground. One of the big drivers of building in OP again could be, again, the cost of a stadium partially built into the ground. If they replicate that Rich Stadium template, they'll save money upfront but will make it that much more difficult to cover it later.

They no longer manage 716 or the John Labatt House.

Quick, someone get @Dunkirk Don take on this. What's going to happen to all that land in Batavia? Naw, it's still a weird move. It should be all smiles and handshakes at the start. If you even float a threat like this right off the bat it sends a bad message.

That's what makes it weird. Maybe that's the Jerruh people talking. They assume the worst in a negotiation.

Sorry. Just in my mind it's "why wouldn't you work with the Bills?" You give them a bridge lease until the new stadium is done, hopefully built next door while you keep playing in the old one. Is that not obvious? Am I missing something?
