One is the real estate transactions every Sunday in the Buffalo News. Other is if you know the location, use the County's GIS service to look at parcel ownership. I’ve done it all over the country, and it’s different everywhere. It’s very tedious to figure out different systems. Ask a pro in the area.

JPP Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 tyrod will be traded or released after the season there is no doubt about that...thats not news....cousins will not come anywhere near buffalo...even if washington didnt tender him (or whatever the term is) there will be other teams gunning for him and much more attractive destinations IMO.....my "source" (you know that little birdie) tells me bills are going to try their hardest to use some of those draft picks and possibly move up in the draft and get a QB.....

If the entire planet was conditions like that and humans evolved over thousands of years then maybe we'd be able to have an advantage in that weather, but as it stands now there is no way we could build a highly functional team for that weather. That was a freak storm and timing (which I thoroughly enjoyed despite the quality of the football played). How often does THAT happen? But there IS such a thing as a big, tough cold weather team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 1 minute ago, Dunkirk Don said: Finally someone that gets it Well, worked in land development, govt, planning, land use law.... I know pretty much anything about land records you could ever want to know. Also have key contacts inside many institutions locally and have my ear to the rail on a stadium. I'm not hear to get into this argument. I have my own sources and insight that doesn't align, so I'll let it be. Also, with a potential loss of a key financial tool used to fund stadiums via muni bonds potentially disappearing in the proposed new tax laws, it becomes harder to build one. Other issues are problematic on that 2013 timelines, from acquisitions and potential eminent domain issues; environmental review; the ability of the govt to fund the massive public infrastructure (sewer and water systems in Bflo would cost tens of millions to fix and service a stadium; roads) to serve a downtown stadium all make this a challenge. Not saying it can't happen or won't.... endless cash can make the impossible possible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get confused about the rules there myself, but after reading up: whatever team he's on pays the roster bonus. I think it's due the 3rd day of the new League Year so March 17 (might be the 5th) so they can trade him between March 14th and March 17th and the partner would pay.
