  1. Each NFL team, including the Buffalo Bills, received $372 million from the league's national pot that is divided among the 32 teams in 2022, according to Front Office Sports.

    The majority of the payment – $249 million – comes from the NFL media rights deals that bring in more than $10 billion annually and will continue to rise.

    The per-team distribution represents an increase from $343.75 million for each team in 2021 and it has grown from $244 million per team for the 2016-17 fiscal year.

    Mariota especially was a head scratcher.  But regardless, it's always cool to see some of the backstories and inner workings behind these guys.  I'm also a tennis fan and watched Break Point.  I had no clue about many of the players featured and by the end really felt more connected to them.  

    Maybe they went with good, fair and bad

    There weren't as many wtf calls/sequences with Dorsey compared to Daboll.  Daboll's in game adjustments were better though and they played some of their strongest ball in the playoffs.

    Doc.... welll... They did throw long too many times on 3rd and 5 (yes I know the line that was better for Joshs injury) drove me crazy.

    I pretty much gave up on Hockey when the alleged totally arbitrary system of draft selections cost the Sabres Connor McDavid.

     

    Similar to the farce with the NBA and Webanmaya (?) magically going to San Antonio,

    And Patrick Ewing going to the Knicks  via the cold envelope

    As much as I love the energy of the US Open, Wimbledon is the Top Dog for me!

    OR... It's this. They are content being who they are.

     

    This is the story that started the “be more with less” movement for me. While I knew all work and no play wasn’t the way, I thought I would forever be stuck in the cycle of working to live. I thought I would always have a car payment, credit card debt and not enough month at the end of the money. I thought I had to work harder to make more, buy more and have more. At one time, I really thought that would make me better somehow.

    This story is my inspiration to slow down, reassess, and get real about how I want to live life.

    An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked.  Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna.  The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

    The Mexican replied, “only a little while. The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?”

    The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos.  I have a full and busy life.” The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.”

    The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”

    To which the American replied, “15 – 20 years.”

    “But what then?” Asked the Mexican.

    The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part.  When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!”

    “Millions – then what?”

    The American said, “Then you would retire.  Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

    Whats that have to do with pizza?

    Of course we do!  Prices will be too high for locals so Bills will need opposition fans to buy tickets!

    That appears to be their marketing strategy since they are selling tickets to out of town ticket brokers and travel agents when they used to sell to Bills Backers groups.

    I meant in the current stadium. We had The Rock and now we have The Dump.

    As for me, I talk big and carry a small stick - so don’t mind me.  808 and I …We chatted some but never linked up, (thanks for asking).  This “country”.  ….. I think you’re being generous now.  

    As for me, I think I’m in line to break some sort of record when I leave Hawaii to go retire in western NY, hopefully very soon!   Love the people there - I really do! 

    I retired 2 years ago at 61 except for a small 5-10 hr a month job that is very flexible. You'll love it. I will never leave WNY in the Southern Tier, people complain all the time but we love it here.  Like everywhere, its what ya make it

    I don’t know why, but this made me think of my banking days years ago when people would ask “Which set of books do you want to see?”  😂
