BillsPride12

Just curious for the boycotting the Super Bowl crowd if you were offered free tickets to this Super Bowl would you still turn them down? Some caller on WGR just said he was offered free tickets to the Super Bowl and he turned them down because he didn't want to watch the Chiefs. I get not wanting to watch the game, and I get not wanting to root for the Chiefs but call me a sellout if you want if I was offered free tickets to the Super Bowl I'd be going. Don't get me wrong I would be wearing my Bills gear and rooting against the Chiefs but for me I couldn't turn down that opportunity to actually attend a Super Bowl as the ticket prices these days are outside of my financial budget.

Update: Was damn good!

If it's for Myles Garrett I wouldn't care if we traded our next three 1st Round Picks

I just picked up some Chipotle Cholula that I need to try out this week

It does make sense...but as a kid who woulda thought your old ticket stubs would be worth more money than all those awesome sports cards you were collecting!

Fun side bar to this conversation...although there's no real value in sports cards from the 80s-90s, last time I checked in with my local sports memorabilia/collectibles store I was talking to the guy that runs it and he was telling me how where the real value is right now are ticket stubs from sporting events and concerts, especially unused tickets can be worth a lot of money. He had one from Thurman Thomas's first game as a rookie un-used and I guess there are only 5 of them in circulation(I have no idea how but they have ways to verify how many are out there) and it is worth like $500. The coolest ticket stub he had though was an unused Chicago Bulls-NYK Knicks ticket stub when Michael Jordan first made his original comeback and dropped 55 on the Knicks, the ticket even has a cool hologram on it. Think it was worth a few thousand. Only a few of those in circulation as well.

That actually sounds like a fun project

I have learned over the years I am in the minority on the boards but once the season is over I am ok with it. Football season is fun but it's also exhausting and draining when you are so invested into it. I couldn't keep it up for a whole year. It's nice to be able to allocate some time and energy to other hobbies and passions going forward until next season gets here.

If you do why do you continue to hang on to them.... sentimental value or holding out hope someday they will still be worth some $$$? I still have a big box of all of my sports cards from when I was a kid in my parents basement. When I was a kid my grandpa was big on don't ever get rid of your sports cards because someday they will be worth lots of money. That was true for his generation, and I am pretty sure he was one of those people who had some valuable cards when he was a kid that he didn't hang on to that were later on worth a lot. But cards in the late 80s and 90s were so mass produced there just isn't that kind of value to them. I check in with local memorabilia and collector shops to see if there's any value to these cards yet every few years or so and there really isn't. I guess I hold out hope that maybe in another 10-15 years some of those cards might be worth something but I'm not expecting it. I guess I have a little sentimental value attached to my sports cards and the players I loved as a youth but it's not like I ever go through them and the older I get I think the more the excitement of going through them lessens. I have thought about getting rid of them but at the end of the day I really don't have any reason to as I just have a box full of stuff and my parents have allocated a little bit of space in their basement for me to keep a few things in "storage"

I met up with a buddy today for some wings and beers. Not a bad time

Are we still on a football message board or are we transitioning into the new messageboard for fans of The View?

I've started to check out on the Sabres this year but I had to tune in for Rob Ray night. Thought they did a good job with the presentation, brought back lots of awesome memories. Glad the boys got it done and came out with a W for Rayzor

Great stuff, just need a few drops and you def get some kick! Goes great on vegetable rice or noodles too

I forgot about this stuff! Probably haven't had in about 10 years

That's kinda sad, WNY Summers are beautiful!

Excellent tip my friend, I will look into trying to find some

Frank's is the King for me but every once in awhile I like to switch it up with some Cholula

I'm going with a throwback for the sake of this topic

Living in WNY these are the dog days of Winter right now. I'll watch the Sabres, catch up on movies and TV shows and get excited for the arrival of golf season in a few months.

Congratulations to Rob Ray going into Sabres Hall of Fame tonight

Hearing this gave me a good chuckle. Also makes me appreciate I grew up watching the NFL in the era I did...minus the whole Bills losing 4 Super Bowls thing that is

Common theme here. Regardess of what positions we are drafting we have to start hitting on homerun players with our high draft picks. The lack of production from these picks is killing us

My all-time greatest Bills quarterback is JP Losman

This is actually a pretty spot on analogy!
