Wade was the guy who made him a NT in the 3-4, which really made him a dominant player.

Nope. Big Ted was one of the best space eaters ever to play for the Bills, Light years better than what's on the roster now...

No room for that chop block in the game. It was the most blatant one I've see this year, as well...

Over and out...

The only one 'moving on' from my perspective is you...

And another useless thread...

Blatant hold by the Fins' OT...nothing called. F*** the NFL...

... Remind me why it's a good idea to waste a beautiful December day on the NFL

Man, Jackson. smh...

Some great stuff there. I may bid on a few things just for shitts and giggles...

It's time to move on. The day we were glued to the flight tracker when he arrived in Buffalo will always be a TSW highlight for me...

Is that analogous to the many here who are jerks to the common TSW poster?.... So what. If you want a buddy, hire Gruden. How's that working out for Oakland...

This product should do the trick...

Reason #1,279 why most folks living in northern Ohio are Ohio State fans...

I wouldn't be suprised if he never plays again...

I thought it was pretty funny....

How's he debasing himself? That's was as sweet and thoughtful a commercial as you'll ever see. Certainly like nothing that would ever play in the U.S...

Do your really think $1.5 billion (over ten years, no less) is important to a company with $200 billion in revenue? That's like paying the typical U.S. household (median income ~$61,000) roughly $50 per year for ten years if they move to one of the highest cost cities in the country. Think that would influence their decision? It's not even real money. NYS gave them credits against future tax liabilities. In other words, nothing from any budget or derived from existing taxpayers. And the $38 billion (yes, billion with a B) in total wages and salaries paid to the 25,000 new Amazon workers over the next decade will cover that $1.5 billion in foregone tax revenue multiple times over. Easy decision for NYS and NYC. Back to the original point of this thread--New Era closing its Derby plant. The easy fart in the wind opinion is that high taxes were the reason for the closure. Nobody says NYS is a business paradise. But consider this--the total payroll of that Derby plant including benefits is around $12.5 million a year. New Era's total revenues are $750 million. In other words, that plant's payroll expense equaled 1.7% of revenue. Essentially nothing. While I feel for those losing their jobs, the sad reality is that they were a fly on the butt cheek of an elephant. New Era moved on and didn't need to have that plant any more, regardless of tax liability, tax breaks or anything else...

Good. Get yourself another beer and go back to nodding your head to whatever the talking heads on Fox have to say. This thread is like whack-a-mole. The level of willful ignorance and "conventional wisdom" about the economy is a sad reflection of why the country is heading down the path to mindlessness... Come to think of it, that's pretty much where TSW is headed as well...

Lol! Largest port. You think they're hiring 25,000 stevedores to unload ships? God, you're funny. Intentionally or not...

He saying farewell but already Davey Johnstone's saying this tour might not be it... https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2018/1101/1008085-eltons-musical-director-believes-he-wont-retire/

True. But the highlight of Elton's concert to me was seeing just how much enjoyment HE took out of performing live. He's a born performer and that element goes way beyond the music itself. My wife, who's not into "deep thoughts" about stuff like this turned to me after the show and said "He'll never stop doing concerts. He just loves it too much." Yes, he does...

Thanks for posting. That was a wonderful video. Caught Elton when he came though Buffalo in September. The guy's a treasure. It's bittersweet to think artists like him and Macca will only be with us a while longer...

So. You got nothing. Move along, nothing to see from you...

Nope, totally irrelevant to the $750 million company New Era has become... Don't play economist if you ain't got the skills, bud. You'll just embarrass yourself...
