PromoTheRobot Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Promo always enjoys mocking fans who complain about the Bills and their management. Bc, you know, the past 16 years of inept management doesn't justify complaining. He has a simplistic view on it. Move on. Actually I mock those "fans" for being hypocrites and whiny children. They are tedious. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 having the product exposed to your market would only increase the visibility and merchandising capacity, in my opinion. And result in an even emptier stadium, the whole reason for the rule. Hang out in the shout box, I will be watching the game in HD on Sunday Ticket (don't live in the Buffalo market) and will keep you updated.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Hey watch the game I would. Watch the game I will.** The NFL has not figured out how to market the desired product to internet users. I don't have cable or DirecTV and have no need or desire for them) I would gladly pay to watch an official version of the game on the internet or via Netflix on Wii, without having to deal with pop-ups, spyware, and a laggy feed. The NFL doesn't wish to provide this option because of TV contracts and inability to control geography (eg enforce regional blackouts) Thus there is unmet demand for a desired product and the "free market" will remain at work on the internet, if you catch my drift. **edit unless it becomes unwatchable Edited December 2, 2011 by Hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester43 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 funny how ralph and his beancounters have now problem holding taxpayers hostage whenever the lease comes up....how much money has erie county given him over the years so could invest it in a product that ha made him filthy rich (and us look like a bunch of dopes for caring about this mess of a team)? and yet he won't buy seats that are vacant only because he fields garbage? sounds about right.

My son lives in Tokyo, and with a Japan URL he can purchase the Bills game on the internet (nfl.com, I think) for $25. But, US based URL's will not be allowed to purchase...likely as stated above, because of the TV contracts. He does buy some...but getting up a 3am in tokyo is somewhat of a deterent. However, this week, he is in WNY on a business trip, and we will be in the stands this Sunday. Go Bills!

John Cocktosten Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 It's not necessarily being delusional. Its just sort of incredible that you go on a message board to be condescending towards fans who have emotional responses to the team they root for. Its obvious to most people that message boards are a place for hardcore fans to discuss, often in emotional detail, their frustrations and/or elation over the team they root for. So for you to come around with this "I'm just a casual fan who is happy to root for the team and not get overly upset when they lose" act, is kind of ridiculous. If that's your vibe, why are you posting on here? To keep everyone else in line or something? I mean give me a break. It's like going to church and complaining everyone is too religious. Bills fans have every right to commiserate over their team. There is nothing hypocritical about saying the Bills have sucked as a franchise over the past 15 years. +1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 In fairness to Promo, he is a very devout Bills fan and has spent thousands and thousands of bucks on Bills tickets in spite of not residing in WNY. This is one of those issues where I can definitely see both sides. Actually all sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfreak Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Let's face it.... the Bills don't think their product is worth 34 cents on the dollar just like the majority of their fans. And they're correct. That is so damn sad, only because it is true. If someone offered me a car that originally was a $100,000 car, but it hasn't run in over 10 years, probably never will with the current engine, and has the world's worst mechanics working on it I am not paying $340,000 for that car either. It is all about the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
