    "NEW OWNERS WON'T BE BARRED FROM REVENUE SHARING

     

    A league source with knowledge of the discussions regarding the potential factors that will influence a team's eligibility for supplemental revenue sharing, but who has asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the information (sorry, we were just reading Newsweek) has told us that there are no current plans to disqualify new owners of NFL teams from getting an extra piece of the pie.

     

    Per the source, the only discussions that have occurred to date regarding supplemental revenue sharing and changes in ownership relate to the extent to which the league would be entitled to recoup past payments made to a low-revenue team whose balance sheet has been artificially enhanced by the subsidies from the pool of traditionally unshared monies into which the teams with the highest revenues will be paying.

     

    In other words, if after Ralph Wilson passes his estate attempts to sell the team for, say, $800 million, someone (whether it's Wilson's estate or the buyer) could be required to make a payment back to the league as a reflection of the reality that supplemental revenue sharing has inflated the book value of the team.

     

    And this isn't a new concept, we're told.  The notion of the league potentially being reimbursed has been part of the G-3 program, through which the NFL provides money for the construction of stadiums.  If an owner is going to sell the team and the stadium, it's only fair for the league to get back some of the money, since league money has put the owner in position to finagle the final price to be paid.

     

    "Fair" is the key word here.  If Ralph Wilson gets extra money for the next five years due to his franchise's financial woes in Western New York, Wilson's estate shouldn't be permitted to keep the additional profit, from the sale of a team that Wilson bought for $25,000, that traces directly to the extra money he has gotten from the supplemental revenue sharing program.

     

    It's not clear whether Wilson's claims regarding the disqualification of a new owner from supplement revenue sharing is the result of misinformation, or misrepresentation.  Either way, Wilson's contention is way off base."

     

    Is this latest Wilson stink much ado about nothing? Do you think he's trying to trick the needy populace of WNY into another stadium? Or is he just completely off his rocker???? Discuss.

  2. Gentlemen

     

    I understand that the pressing concern of the moment has become Mr. Wilson's frustrations regarding financial viability of the Bills in the Buffalo area.

     

    Many Bills Ultra Hooligans weep at the moment considering the potentiality of a refugee variation of the Bills: Roaming the ghettoes of America as TSIGANI (gypsies), perhaps ending up eventually in the Zionist dysoptia of Los Angeles.

     

    Gentlemen let us leave BUSINESS to the pigs studying Adam Smith and economic systematics - as good Europeans and the descendents of good Europeans we must understand that money has always been considered vulgar in our society, in our culture  - let us leave this to the Middle Easterners to debate, that has always been their f*cking WESEN - it is not ours.

     

    Let us concentrate with a renewed inspiration on the question of LABOUR.

     

    that is: the initiation of the proletariat transpiring every year under the euphamistic slogan NFL DRAFT

     

    Gentlemen this is a critical moment for Mr. Levy.

     

    Attention Mr. Levy: i understand you read my posts with vigour. I understand you (as a fellow intellectual) are inspired by my text.

     

    Mr. Levy must make a decision of priority gentlemen. He must become an Aristotelian categorizer of Being. He must regress into the antiquated "metaphysics of presence."

     

    Attention Mr. Levy: the offensive line, despite the moans of those foolish sections of the Ultra Hooligans, is not a priority. Insert any pig in there and we will see if the irish fool Mcnally earns his salary.

     

    As has been documented historiographically, the king of field sports is won with a hegemonic OBRAMBA synthesized with an adequate offense. Look at the failures of the Colts or our own Bills in the Kaka Gun era for further evidence.

     

    Mr. Levy you have two potential proletariats that can bring us closer to the Lacanian objet petit A than even Lacan dreamed possible : Mr. Huff and Mr. Bunkley. If we are dealing with a revised ontology a la Mr. Maurice Merleau-Ponty they are the only ones who can lead us into the post-post-modern of a theory of inter corporeity.

     

    Attention Mr. Mike Shoop: i humiliated you in a previous discussion on this board. I have yet to see you respond. That will be taken as a semiotics related to your cowardice.

     

    Attention Mr. Crap Throwing Monkey: you have continued to mock me on this Internet online forum. I have continued to subvert your comments with quality chat. If you wish this to degenerate into the Lacanian Real of physical violence, so f*cking be it sir - i am the SOKRAT ULTRA.

  3. IF Ralph truly is serious about keeping the Bills in Buffalo, he cannot give the franchise to his daughters, who have already been rumored to not care about football, and specifically, keeping the Bills in Buffalo.

     

    It's just too bad Ralph doesn't have a football loving son, a Boy with Buffalo ties... one that says he'll do whatever he can to keep the Bills in Buffalo...

     

    Wait

     

    Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

     

    RALPH: ADOPT JIM KELLY AS YOUR SON

     

    :D

  4. With all the crying of fiancial hardship the Bills are doing? I have no doubt they do not intend to pay the price the 8th pick overall will demand.

     

    It would fit right into what teh Bills have been doing (or not doing) this off season. They went out and got the cheapest GM and Coach (two guys just happy to have jobs) they could find. Their free agent signings have been small ticket players who had little if no interest from other teams.

     

    Time to face the facts Bills fans. The Bills plan to put out the cheapest team they can put together. They are doing a great job at it.

  6. Why do people think these contracts are so heavily backloaded?

     

    History of Salary Cap

    2002 71mil

    2003 75 mil

    2004 81 mil

    2005 85 mil

    2006 102 mil

     

    In 5 years, the salary cap has gone up from 71 mil to 102 mil, a gain of over 40 percent.  Lets assume the cap grows at 5% a year.

     

    2007 107 mil

    2008 112 mil

    2009 118 mil

     

    Now, I havent seen anything as to the magnitude of a signing bonus, but im going to assume 2mil.  That means, as a percentage of the salary cap

     

    2006 Cap 102 mil / hit 1.1 mil 1.0%

    2007 Cap 107 mil / hit 2.4 mil 2.2%

    2008 Cap 112 mil / hit 2.8 mil 2.5%

    2009 Cap 118 mil / hit 2.9 mil 2.5%

     

    This is NOT a backloaded contract.  The pct of the cap hit is about the same years 2-4.  First year is always low because you pay the guy the minimum and give him a signing bonus.  This is SOP and not a backloaded contract.  2.5% of the cap for a guy like denney is probably reasonable.

    GOOD FRIEKIN POINT, JimBob! I didn't think about it like that.

  7. I guess I would feel sorry for Mularkey, but he's making double the money now than he was when he was an HC.

     

    Plus, he was a Florida Gator, so they're sure to love him down there.

     

    Also, hearing about Linehan's offense there last year, it looks like Mularkey is the perfect person to run it.

     

    ....3rd and 1, Culpepper takes the snap, and.... oh my... it's a double reverse to (INSERT FOURTH STRING WR HERE)
