PromoTheRobot Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 23 minutes ago, That's No Moon said: I'm confused. If the league conspired to screw Buffalo out of a team, in order to keep another team in a city where they wanted it, you'd pay money to that franchise ever again? Let's say Bob Kraft wanted to move the Patriots to San Diego the NFL then brokered a deal between Pegula and Kraft wherein they'd trade franchises. Pegula gets the Pats and keeps them in Boston, Kraft gets the Bills and moves them to San Diego. You'd be ok with that at some point in the future? That's exactly what happened with the Braves. I don't watch the NBA. I don't give them 1 dollar. Hell, I don't even eat Kentucky Fried Chicken because of John Y. Brown's scumbaggery in that sordid episode. Buffalo could never had supported an NBA franchise, plus the Sabres and Bills, long term. Not enough revenue in Buffalo for three major franchises.

Yesterday I knew I was going to be cut and my career may be over, today the Patriots thought I was worth a 6th round pick to trade for. It doesn't guarantee a roster spot but on the brink of the season it probably does, as well as a whole season's pay at his existing contract. I don’t care that they got a 6th round pick, why trade with the Pats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm curious to see what they do with Sills. I mean he looked ok at times but he's not quite ready yet. I'm not sure he makes it to the practice squad though. Do you keep him on the 53, as the last receiver on the roster isn't likely to dress on game day anyways? Tough roster crunch this year.

Kind of agree, but then again the Pats were gonna get a Center from some team. And it’s not like we’re trading them a guy who’s ever been a quality starting Center. So thanks for the 6th rounder.
