Watch around 1 with beer and tacos… Round 2 my son is coming over for some homemade pizza and some brews. Round 3 watch the whole thing… Love watching the draft! Find it cool seeing who goes where and the trades. Also like the Commish bear hugs from the players! Toss him around like a rag doll. 😆

Anyone else still hate Bon Jovi enough to continue the boycott?
davefan66 replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in Off the Wall
Yeah. Need to proofread better! My artist I saw that was exceptional after not being the best fan?? Billy Idol! Saw a few years ago. Wholly smokes! So freaking good! Steve Stevens on guitar was amazing! -

Fixed. Didn’t write it the way I wanted. Those bands were some of the MTV darlings who were actually good. And had more staying power outside MTV than Bon Jovi in my opinion. -

Yea, product of the MTV generation for sure. And like I had mentioned, product of the Jersey “rock scene” at the time…mostly consisting of Bruce with bon jovi, and to a lesser extent John Cafferty (played the music for Eddie and the Cruisers). Bon Jovi had catchy tunes, but not the chops to have a real career beyond the MTV influence. Don’t like his music. Doesn’t have the staying power as even some of the marginal acts out of the 80’s and I guess early 90’s. Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Motley Crue and even Poison to name a few were much better then Bon Jovi, even outside of the MTV effect. -
Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)
davefan66 replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Depends on what the expectations are. if it’s 2nd string, yes it may alter the draft. If it’s a true “prove it” contract? Then no. They will let him prove his worth in camp and possibly preseason if he makes it that far. -

davefan66 replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
For some reason, not surprised. And happy for it! He is entering his 9th season only. Seems like more than that. -

Not a fan of his music. Don’t believe he would have been famous if not for his “Jersey” ties when Bruce was huge. Not a fan of his interest in the Bills. So double whammy. -
What is your favorite serendipitous draft story?
davefan66 replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Love the Elway drama. As one of the first years I watched the draft, it helped make me more interested in the draft. Also, the Manning/Rivers draft. Not really draft, but related. Jim Kelly leaving Buffalo at the alter… Jim Kelly in town to sign after the draft. Bruce Allen of the USFL calls the Bills offices and the secretary gives the call to Kelly’s agent and tells him not to sign. Jim leaves and the rest is history. I do believe his years in the USFL helped make him a better NFL QB, specially in the K Gun. -
I don’t see a move up to the top 5. Mostly because of the cap hit now, and in 5 years. Here is a list of rookie contracts: Rookie scales I have no issue using draft capital to move up, or trade for an available veteran. No way we use every available draft pick we have this year. No room for 10 drafted rookies, along with any undrafted players.

Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)
davefan66 replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
Drove by for the first time since the end of last season. Wow. A lot of work done. Place is massive! Didn’t realize how close it is to Abbott road. Always loved The Ralph, but it looks downright puny and like a relic in comparison. Obviously, The Ralph being built in a hole versus the new stadium makes it look smaller. Certainly looking forward to the new stadium! -
Patriots. Adding Vrabel is huge for them. Hate to say they won’t be punching bags for some time.

RIP. Hell of an actor!

Alternate uniforms and red helmets for 2025? Bills COO suggests it
davefan66 replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’d like to see it for a game. Prefer the current white helmets far better. -
I wonder if it folds before the end of the season? Hardly any fans at the games. Although, they do have an ESPN tv contract. If they fold, is this the last football league competing with the NFL?
-
I agree. NFL Europe back in the day did this. Designated some players to play in the league. Was kinda fun seeing our guy play in the offseason.

Im glad you enjoyed your times! Been a ticket holder since ’17. Been a solid way for my son and I to enjoy time together. Been some great times! Helps when the team drafts a generational player the 2nd year of your tickets! The good part about where my tickets are located is the average fan should be able to afford them. $2500 is a lot of money, but affordable. Issue becomes paying it. Right away? 20 months? 6 years, but incur interest? individual game ticket prices were shown, although I didn’t ask questions about them. Seemed like they were within a couple of hundred bucks of what I’m paying now. That was a huge concern for me, what those were going to cost. Not a big jump surprisingly. But I guess I’ll know for sure when next years invoice is sent. Incidentals can chew up some good money. Parking, lot food and beverage, stadium food snd beverage. And time. I jokingly told my PSL salesman what a heavy lift it’d be to try and sell these in the drought days! My belief? New stadium wouldn’t be built during a drought. Would fans cough up $10k per ticket for the PSL? Much easier when you have a good product on the field, especially a team that just went to the AFC Championship Game. Who knows what the future holds. I did consider a team that isn’t very good and HAVING to buy my season tickets because of the PSL. Gone are the days the team stinks and season tickets purchased plummets. Now, you’ll have to endure the product on the field because you’re not going to drop your PSL. Without the PSL you could drop your season tickets and then just buy them again when the team is good. 15 years ago, I’m not going this because of cost. 10 years from now? Probably not. I’m glad I’m able to while I’m young enough to go and enjoy.

My intention was to share what my seats cost. And I only have TWO seats. I guess you’d really have an issue with fans who have spent 5k or 8k for seats. My friend spent 8k a seat…for 10 seats and paying it off in 20 months because she set aside money for this. I had no intention to “show off” what I’m spending. Worked EXTREMELY hard to get where I am in life. Not going to excuse that in any way. Funny thing is, these are the cheapest seats in the house so far… Oh…it’s only $200 for BOTH PSL’s a month. 5k for both seats…1K down and owe 4k. $200 x 20 months is…and I swear, I’ve checked this twice…is $4k. Pretty sure your math ain’t mathing.
