Should of referenced Richard Cranium

But this analogy proves the point that the metrics used to gauge "best Fans" (which I associate with Die Hard Fans) are skewed and favor the heavy weight with the longer reach. So to gauge true fandom the pound for pound debate must proceed and the data be utilized with per capita, median house hold incomes / disposable incomes.... need to be the metrics involved for true gauging fandom. Die hard fans tend to support their teams when the chips are down and money is tight. Fair weather fans disappear during these years.. The original study vastly overweight's population and teams riding recent winning traditions.

I think people are growing very tired of the hate train. We went through a few decades of over the top challenge's to civility via our media. Most of us have had enough of the negativity and are turning it off. I'd rather be ignorant to the world then be smothered with never ending hate and fear

I love that analogy ... Never heard it used b4, but I like it

A true judge of a fan base can be calculated using a proportion of a fans whom proudly still support their team after 17 consecutive non playoff seasons in a small market city. When the fan base still shows up and still wears their colors with pride in other cities etc.. even when faced with the obvious aggravation of opposing fans ripping on your ass constantly, then you have a true metric correlating to the most diehard fandom

yeah the metrics they apply to best fans are quite lame Fan Equity is a matter of judging how well fans support their team by backing up their words with dollars — i.e., how much they spend on everything from season tickets to jerseys. If a team fills its stadium but there’s not much demand past that, their Fan Equity score is lower. Translation Large market teams with higher median wages Social Equity is based on a team’s social media reach — i.e., how many followers the team has across various social media channels. A team that’s not able to draw many followers on social isn’t a team with a deep degree of Social Equity. Translation Large market teams that get more airtime nationally and internationally. And/or teams that are presently riding winning traditions Road Equity involves measuring how well a team draws on the road, adjusting for team performance. People show up to watch when the Cowboys or Steelers come to town. People don’t show up to watch when, say, the Bengals or Titans do. (Sorry, Cincy and Tennessee, but you know it’s true.) Translation Large market teams that get more airtime nationally and internationally. And/or teams that are presently riding winning traditions

We would like to take this time to Congratulate Robert Kraft for receiving the Genesis Award. Proving to the world that Happy Endings are not just about the After Life.

and a cheap one at that

I fart in your general direction !

if its a 1st class seat then it probably cost $1500 or more. Cam needed to up the ante to $10k

not just sports either.. The Jackson's.... The Beach Boys, and I'm sure most of the teen idol category is littered with over zealous parenting. Yes there are dangers and kids this young need to be steered some... But you are correct that these Parents are living vicariously thru their children. Heck you can even add in the most disgusting one of them all IMO. Child Beauty Pageants.

we are trending up, that much is for sure

Interesting place on the inside. Walked the halls some but it was a cloudy day. Cooks told me the building just looks incredible on bright sunny days.. I did not stay overnight, but it had to be a unique experience.

Really enjoy seeing positive articles about Buffalo's revival. Coming back this weekend for a wedding at Hotel Henry. Always love gauging the progress of Buffalo every return trip https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/tripideas/the-great-buffalo-revival/ar-AACxYOK?ocid=spartanntp

All I know is I would NEVER invest big money into any player who could not be bothered to be here voluntary or not. Like its been said. Its about building chemistry, its about being a team, its about doing what is expected of you for the ludicrous amount of money you are being paid.

I just cannot believe after what we witnessed for the 17 years before Beane and McDermott that anyone would or even could think we are trending the wrong way. Even if it takes 5 more years we will never be basement dwellers with these 2 at the helm and will always be trending upwards, and wil be able to make moves as needed. This much I feel extremely confident about

glad to see josh is looking good early. Means nothing but good to hear. As for no huddle. I know its a part of our history but I could care less if its ever re invented here. All I want is a an offense that when its 3rd and long you still feel like we got this. That's what I remember from the Kelly No Huddle days. 3rd and long.. pffffft we got it

I disagree Whaley's teams were all over the place and lacked any direction. Especially QB. There may be a reason why Whaley is not being offered GM jobs nor is he getting lots of interviews Beane dismantled that team and the pain of rebuilding is what has happened. You are panicking to much regarding TE. There will be late cuts if need be. There will be releases

amateur, you got to disguise it

some people are just not right in the head from the get go

Not worried I think we saw what Zay can become late last season.. Add in the OL and RB upgrades and a 2nd year Josh.. yeah there are no excuses to be had. He needs ot stay healthy and play all 16

I remember njsue some.. Been awhile.. Sad to hear.. rest in peace my fellow Bills fan

Did he ever make an excuse ? I just do not understand why people are so ridiculously impatient with Zay. WR's take time, and Zay hasn't has much benefit of a good team around him since day 1. Not worried we saw what Jay can do towards end of last season I really only expect things to improve fro there

usually when someone says no more excuses its because there were previous reasons sed player brought up before Josh never pointed out flaws in other peoples game he just focused on himself which is one of the things that endeared him to me.. He is no prima donna type. I can see why people reacted the way they did I wanted to immediately after reading it. More likely do to lack of tone of voice and body language to read.

In what way did we change subjects from performance enhancers to opioids.. No not ok. but you changed the subject. This was purely about performance enhancers., As for pain killers its a country wide epidemic... Nice try but stay with the topic
