  1. True. We were in line for the expansion team that became the Expos if we had a stadium. This was to be multipurpose.
  2. I've seen people falling over rows of seats in the clubs because they were totally blotto.
  3. I don't because of the way he carried himself these last two years, the cryptic nonsense. The Texans better stay on his good side.
  4. The Bills pursued him when he was a college FA in 2015. Chose Dallas. But they all end up here eventually.
  5. The thing is Buffalo was that close to creating a "Patriot Place" decades before the idea ever dawned on Robert Kraft. This was supposed to include a hotel and retail development. Who knows what the team's fortunes would have been playing in a dome since 1972? It would have been that much closer to Rochester as well.
  6. "40 years ago this week: One of the lengthiest trials in the history of Western New York was underway in New York State Supreme Court. It involved the proposed dome stadium in Lancaster which was supposed to serve as a new home for the Buffalo Bills. In 1969, Erie County agreed in principle with developer Edward Cottrell to build the indoor, multi use stadium along with a theme park and hotel complex on land bounded by Genesee St., Harris Hill Rd., Walden Ave., and Story Rd. However, as cost estimates for the project rose, the county shifted gears and decided on an open air stadium in Orchard Park for about one-third of the cost of the dome stadium complex. Cottrell sued for breach of contract, seeking more than $400 million in damages,. and setting off a near two decade long legal battle. After it took 14 years for the case to get to trial, the trial itself lasted 42 weeks and concluded with Cottrell being awarded $53 million. However, after another five years of appeals, the county finally paid Cottrell $10 million, concluding the case after 19 years." What could have been.
  7. Assuming a team would wait to make that trade. How easy do you think it is trading a massive salary? The Texans might have gotten a rookie WR in the draft and said "never mind." The NFL is not obligated to do things when it suits you.
  8. It's called making deals from a disadvantage. Josh Allen is just a passenger on the Milano train. 🤔
  9. Wasn't that extension more for creating cap space? It's also pretty disingenuous to call a lack of ESP being a bad GM.
  10. WTF. After all we heard about cap hits etc? I guess whenever there's smoke there is fire, huh?
  11. It's the whole selling point of the league. They want their players to move up.
  12. The difference between the CFL and UFL is players can't get out of CFL contracts to go to the NFL, while all UFL contracts are just one season long.
  13. Totality in Vermont is a two hour drive from me. I'm going to wait to see 1) is it a clear sky, and 2) what's traffic looking like.
  14. I cleaned it up. That's what happens when you post from your phone with a lousy connection.
  15. Often teamed up with John Candy on skits like Schmenge Brothers and Count Floyd.
  16. Is it too soon for this?
  17. St. Louis had huge numbers last year. Wait until their home opener. But UFL aren't going to go above 20K on average. Ever watch Tuesday/Wednesday MACtion college games on ESPN? Most nights they barely have a hundred people in the stands.
  18. Only 4 franchises from each former league survived the merger, but they could be reactivated later
  19. DC would sell out their 17K soccer stadium. In fact they are famous for their "beer snakes "
