    I’m bored with the off-season and don’t care about this Super Bowl. For fun: if you were the owner of the bills what color combination would you want? I came across this tonight and I have to admit, it’s a good look.

    The original Bills team colors were silver, and blue. (Like Detroit, which of course is Ralph Wilson's home base)

    TBD member Rockpile, has a 1959 Bills wool coat with those colors, and a Buffalo Bill Cody logo, on the lapel!

    The coat belongs in a museum!

  2. On Thursday night, Washington running back Matt Jones fumbled while approaching the goal line. The ball bounced into the end zone and out of the end zone, unrecovered.

    By rule, the Giants got possession at their own 20. Even though they failed to secure possession of the ball before it when out of bounds.

    It’s the most unfair rule in the game.

    I​'d like to see 'Illegal block in the back' thrown out

  3. Wow. Just WOOOOW!

     

    He has been paid like $18.3M by the Saints so far I think that it said earlier in the thread. If they pay him another chunk as a settlement he will walk away with a lot of money. He will never work another day again in his life and live quite comfortably. It's a shame.

    Byrd = Grifter

  4. Didn't know where else to ask...

     

    A friend of mind is planning to buy tickets for the home opener. He has reservations because of the type of ticket. Normally he has dealt with ticketmaster, using the printable paper version. This time he is supposedly getting the single-game, ticket issued by the Bills.

     

    My question: is there any way to check the validity of the ticket? I've heard of counterfeit paper tickets, but never the ticket form. Should he be concerned going through craigslist?

     

    Thanks everyone

    Some years back, I got ripped off for Springsteen tickets that looked totally legit.(And they were 'hard' tickets) The bar code on the tickets is everything, and you cannot tell in advance. The Ticketmaster 'security' for tickets is a joke. I wouldn't touch 'em myself.

  5. I doubt they're found guilty of anything, though.

    Effectively, it's a wiretap without a court order? Hmmmmmm.......

    Hey, but they not only walked, but made 200 bucks!

     

    What a stupid waste of taxpayer money. How did this even get this far?

    Of course, everything is a 'waste of taxpayer money' unless we box it up by the billions, and hand it over to Corporations with a big bow on top of the box....

  6. for all you season ticket holders?bills fans…..stop showing up. the game does nothing but ruin the bills home field advantage. they don't care about any of you but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ stop giving it to them. show them that this game ruins it for you. its terrible!!!!!!

    The Toronto game is not part of the season ticket package. (Thankfully)

    this is a great idea, but when was the last time anyone from Albany did anything for Western NY? They have taxed all the businesses away, and won't spend any $$ to revamp that area. NYS needs a Gov from Western NY.

    Corporation taxes are generally very low in NYS. Most small businesses usually fall under the Fixed Dollar Minimum tax rate:

    For example, a Corporation with $250,000.00 in receipts pays a flat seventy five bucks in tax under fixed min. tax rates.

    Current 2012 tax rates in NYS)

    The business and investment capital base is the total investment and business capital allocated to New York State after deducting short-term and long-term liabilities attributable to assets. The current tax rate is .15%. (A new small business corporation may claim an exemption from the tax on this base for its first two tax years if it meets certain requirements.) The tax on capital is limited to $350,000 for qualified New York manufacturers, and $1 million for all other taxpayers.

     

    The minimum taxable income (MTI) base equals entire net income allocated to New York State plus certain federal items of tax preference and adjustments allocated to New York. Taxpayers are allowed to deduct an alternative net operating loss against this base. The current tax rate is 1.5%.

     

    For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2012, and before January 1, 2015, the MTI tax rate for eligible qualified New York manufacturers is .75%.

     

    The fixed dollar minimum (FDM) tax is determined by the corporation's New York State receipts. The current amounts of the FDM tax are as follows:

    For a corporation with New York State receipts of: Tax

    Not more than $100,000 $25*

    More than $100,000 but not over $250,000 $75*

    More than $250,000 but not over $500,000 $175*

    More than $500,000 but not over $1,000,000 $500

    More than $1,000,000 but not over $5,000,000 $1,500

    More than $5,000,000 but not over $25,000,000 $3,500

    Over $25,000,000 $5,000

     

    There are higher "Corp Tax" rates, but with deductions, and tax credits, the actual tax paid is frequently at a much lower rate:

     

     

    A general business corporation that is subject to tax under Article 9-A is every corporation except:

     

    a banking corporation (Article 32);

    an insurance corporation (including certain for-profit HMOs) (Article 33);

    a transportation and transmission corporation (other than aviation corporations, corporations principally engaged in transportation, transmission, or distribution of gas, electricity, or steam (TTD corporations), and non-electing railroad and trucking corporations) (Article 9);

    a farmer's cooperative or an agricultural cooperative (Article 9);

    a nonstock or not-for-profit corporation, no part of whose net earnings inures to the benefit of any officer, director, or member;

    a continuing section 186 taxpayer (Article 9).

     

    The entire net income (ENI) base equals federal taxable income allocated to New York State with certain modifications for items of income and deduction that New York treats differently. The current tax rates for ENI are as follows:

    Tax base Tax rate

    ENI base for general business taxpayers 7.1%

     

    ENI base for qualified small business taxpayers:

     

    ENI base of $290,000 or less

     

    ENI base of more than $290,000 but not more than $390,000 6.5%

     

    $18,850

    plus 7.1% of the amount over $290,000

    plus 4.35% of the amount over $350,000

     

    For tax years beginning on or after January 31, 2007

    ENI base for qualified New York manufacturers 6.5%

     

    For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2012, and before January 1, 2015, ENI base for eligible qualified New York manufacturers 3.25%

  8. It seems like this idiot picked the wrong guy to land on.

    Still, I see little way the Bills could have prevented fan idiocy, short of banning alcohol at the stadium.

    @ nearly ten bucks a copy for cheap slop, alcohol is effectively banned for a lot of fans anyway. I say go ahead.

    Or, charge $50 for a beer, so there can be a pool of money for the team's legal expenses when d!&c;khe@d$ like this do stupid schitt...

  9. .........but perhaps better screening at the entrances for them.

     

    Jesus. We're just a tweak away from the "Vinyl Glove test" to get into the Stadium as it is.

    The Stadium security is total nonsense, and is unacceptable.

    Lets start carrying on like *AMERICANS* instead of tolerating this 'terrorist' paranoia.
