You ain't jokin'. Can't wait see how PASabresFan spins this news as negative.
He's been awfully quiet this morning. He must be working very hard on his new theories.

Maybe but seriously "time wounds all heals" which is to say, just like my beagle after I give him a biscuit, we Bills fans will quickly get to, "what have you done for me lately?". So, Terry and Kim, now that you own the Bills and they are staying.....ummm..... WE WANT A CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!"
just sayin'
Head on over to SabreSpace to find out just how true this is.

I can't stand how they pick Super Bowl venues.
The league ought to reward the cities which add the most value to the league-- ie, winning teams, revenue generating teams. Reward those cities with the revenue boom of a Super Bowl because they are the ones that are most effectively adding value to the NFL's product.
For example, the Super Bowl winning team (Seattle) should get to host next year (or in 2 years, if you need more planning).
What are they going to do when Green Bay, or Buffalo, or Kansas City, or other locales that obviously lack the necessary infrastructure, win? Is Green Bay supposed to get 2000 taxis just for one weekend?

She may have been asked to let the senior senator and the governor take the lead on this.

if you haven't tried it, how the hell can you make any rational argument against it?
you can't.
I've more that tried it. Well over 100 times. Mostly in my 20s, but even once or twice in my 30s.
I don't like it (at this age), for myself.
I think it should be legal, but that doesn't really matter for this discussion.
I don't think the NFL should waste its time with it; that's what matters. It's silly to be busting players for grass.
How's that?

According to the federal government marijuana is a Schedule I substance, thus it can never be "prescribed" by a physician. And since the DEA governments every physician's ability to prescribe controlled substances, it's not likely going to be violated by any doctor in any state. To get around this, in some states, medicinal marijuana can only be "recommended". I can't possibly see the NFL going against the federal government due to its anti-trust status, regardless of what state a team plays in.
No but they can reduce penalties for violations.
PTR, it goes even further: They can eliminate penalties for violations, or even eliminate it as a violation to begin with. kas23, It's not "going against the federal government" because it is not the NFL's job to enforce federal laws. The NFL doesn't have to do any drug testing; it chooses to.

Basically a Spikes clone...
Aggressive, big physical player against the run with good instincts who is very good against the run and struggles in coverage and drops...suggest he is likely a two-down "run thumper"
Which Spikes? (Brandon? Takeo?)
And again, I would have preferred Nix.
-
Was Nix still available? Because the Bills needed a backup DT well before a backup LB.

Hockey Hotline.
Thank god. Need to hear about hockey on the most important day of the year in the NFL.
How many mock drafts do you need? There are hockey playoffs going on. I'm sure if the Bills make a trade, they will break in. Other than that, just what do you expect to be said between ten and noon that wasn't said between six and ten or won't be said between noon and eight?

I have a question: if you had any idea Mack would go this high would you have gone to UB games?
No. It's a minor-league atmosphere out there in Amherst.

Jemele Hill is an all around monster and Kara Lawson knows basketball inside and out
Jemele Hill irritates the hell out of me, and I have no idea who Kara Lawson is, but if we're nominating good sportswriters who are women, I'll chip in with our local Amy Moritz.
And Lori sure knows her football. She's not here anymore, but she is on twitter at @LChase_RA.

STFU, have another Genny in your screened-in garage and relax.

That site is more infected than she is.

As I've said before...the league takes in the cash and passes it to the owners of the franchises who pay taxes on the money.
But it pays Goodell first. He does work for a tax-exempt organization.
The NFL is corporate welfare
The whole USA is corporate welfare!

Guys $44 million, to ruin and pussify the game we love?
For those of you justifying it by comparing it to other CEO's, don't you find it obscene that they make this much money as well?
To me, it seems excessive as he is running a company that doesn't pay taxes and demands that taxpayers fork out billions of dollars for new stadiums. Furthermore, he encourages people to keep coming to stadia where the rate of ticket prices has been inflating at a significantly higher rate than the cost of living. If you got word than any government employee got $44 million last year, you'd be ready to torch city hall, Albany, or DC. How is it not any different considering the amount of public funding that is financing his salary?
On your first point, sure, but we live in a deregulated capitalist economy. That's how it works. There are other systems out there, but most people would deem them to be too "liberal" or "Euro."
On your second, it's old news that big companies find a way to avoid paying federal corporate income taxes while simultaneously demanding infrastructure, property tax and state tax breaks, etc. E.g., Apple.
We can torch and pitchfork Harvey Weinstein, Dr. Dre, and Alex Rodriguez, too, I suppose, but in our system, you don't get what you deserve, you get what you're able to convince others to pay you.

1. Your comment regarding Sam is just so, so stupid and hateful. You are now the inaugural member of my ignore list.
2. You could have started an interesting discussion on whether Goodell does enough to control players, or whether there is a criminal subculture in the NFL. You didn't.
3. What do you think CEOs of billion-dollar companies make? Yes, it's more than the President.
EDIT: punctuation.

He doesn't want to play football anymore.

Kind of like how Jim Kelly tried to beat the Giants by himself and forgot about Thurman Thomas.
PTR
Thomas had 135 yards rushing and 55 receiving. He was hardly forgotten.

Lee or Mack for me.

I can get behind spending a third round pick on the guy.

Why would one have an AR-15 in the first place.
Other than the fact that it's Florida?
Here we go...
-
Yes, and this was covered on page 1 of this thread
So why the !@#$ wasn't it merged or, worse, given the death by "this topic is currently..." (Which I hate, because they never tell you which thread to go to to discuss it)?
-
No, just move the hashmarks to where they belong. And wasn't this discussed last week with a whole thread devoted to it?
-
4th round pick, IIRC.
EDIT: 2011 4th round pick (Chris Hairston) and 2012 5th round pick (Tank Carder).
Ted Washington NEEDS to be in the HOF

Except he was offsides. A LOT. And was penalized. A LOT.
If there's a Bill who deserves in and who is not in, it's Hull.
