dave mcbride Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, Coach Tuesday said: Have you been there recently? I used to hate LA, but over the last few years I've really grown to love it to the point where, next to NOLA, it's my favorite place to visit in the U.S. Yeah, I spent nearly a week there last May. Great time, and nicer than in the past. My wife and I have a ton of friends there, and now some of our nieces and nephews are moving there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned industry everywhere, crappy little rust belt towns surrounding it. It's like the Black Rock area of Buffalo, but it is the entire area, not just a little section. Of all the places I've lived or spent considerable of time in, it was by far the worst. Plus, with all the valleys and bridges it takes forever to get anywhere and traffic gets backed up everywhere too. F Pittsburgh. Whats wrong with black rock? I can walk to wegmans, nicks place, dapper goose, and sportsmans. Some of the restaurants in area over charge and the over flow from the small parking lots can slow traffic up. When theres construction in area it can get annoying with a lot of streets being one ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Doom Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Moving forward with Rodgers perhaps in decline, how is Green Bay that much of a better destination compared to Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 6 hours ago, Inigo Montoya said: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Steelers are "closing in on a deal" to trade Antonio Brown to the Bills. Wow. It will be interesting to see what the Bills are sending the Steelers' direction, as Buffalo doesn't have any extra picks in the early rounds, holding their own first-, second-, and third-round picks, with the first being at No. 9 overall. Going from Ben Roethlisberger and Pittsburgh to Josh Allen and Buffalo is a significant downgrade for Brown both in football and life. His fantasy prospects will obviously take a big hit with this deal. It's truly fair to wonder if Brown will willingly go to Buffalo. RELATED: Buffalo Bills SOURCE: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Mar 7, 2019, 10:32 PM I added the emphasis to the above quote. I'm tired of these ignorant cheap shots on the city of Buffalo. Screw them. I wish I had a paid subscription to Rotoworld just so I could cancel it. Truth hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOboy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The downgrade to LIFE comment is pretty nasty, it's not like Pittsburgh is some great city. The rest was fair, and turned out to be what happened. It's pretty much the narrative, it is what it is. We need to build a winner first, then all that talk goes away.

The steelers as a franchise have a history of success - buffalo a history of failure. So that is a downgrade - as a life downgrade i look at it like endorsements and fame. You have a better chance for a greater amount of those money and fame in Pitt/California/Florida/NY than you do in Buffalo. Those are facts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Last summer we spent a few days at the Marriott Harbor Center, it was the first time I had spent any time downtown since the late 1970s. What has been done in that area is impressive and it was fun. Downtown is much better than it has been in decades, that being said it still has away to go. The Seneca Tower is still a monument to drab architecture. My wife is not from Buffalo, she thought Allentown was cool and vibrant. We took a drive north on Delaware Avenue and it’s surrouding streets, still really nice. Buffalo weather is what it is, but there are a number of NFL cities that aren’t much better.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Someone posted this on PFT and i thought it was kind of interesting: This is something the owners should address in the next CBA. I’m all for players requesting a trade. But, teams who have paid a player a signing bonus to enter into an agreement with the player for services over a certain time should have the ability to go after the signing bonus when a player intentionally damages his value while attempting to force a trade. When a team cuts a player, the player gets to hang on to his signing bonus. When a player “cuts” the team, he should have to pay it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Doom Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Looks like they are doubling down on their Buffalo bashing. What is with the Siberia comments? Is it really that bad? If speaking of weather, is Green Bay any better? If speaking of things to do, you are a quick drive to Toronto and a quick flight to anywhere else. If speaking of win/losses, do these players really care about the past two decades, or do they feel that nothing will get better in the future?

Yeah I was scared to death driving on that bridge out of downtown Pitsburgh going North...if you get on in the wrong part you will have to do multiple lane changes in a very short section of highway and its pretty nerve wracking...

mjt328 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm pretty thick skinned. And it usually doesn't bother me when people knock Buffalo as a destination. But Rotoworld's comments were extremely unprofessional and insulting. A "significant downgrade" in fantasy numbers and stats? Sure. Makes sense. A "significant downgrade" in contending for playoffs? Debatable, but OK fine. A "significant downgrade" in LIFE? That's just garbage. Who the #$%* is writing this trash? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Don't care. But I wouldn't mind if they'd at least also call out Detroit, Cleveland, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Indianapolis as armpit cities as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
