But the people he surrounds himself with drive me nuts. I don’t like Rachel Bush. But it has nothing to do with her comments on Poyer’s deal. I don’t mind them at all. She cheated on JP which sucks on its own. But add to it that it was with Antonio Brown of all people. I have no patience for any of it. And definitely not AB. Then when they were separated (because of the AB issue) Poyer slept with a UB coed and Rachel Bush put her on blast on twitter. Kudos to the young woman. She responded like 2x the adult that Bush was. Basically said that she didn’t catch feelings. And had no intent to ever date Poyer. He seemed like a really great guy, father, etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Spoiler alert: If the hot supermodel wife complains online, she gets sympathy. If Poyer goes out and yells that he’s underpaid, it’s not the best look. They’re executing Rosenhaus’ plan to perfection. He says hypotheticals like “if i’m not re-signed, well by golly gosh, I’d sure like more money please.” Never directly aiming at the FO but subtly suggesting they’re ungrateful. She says “I don’t want to move but my hubby needs to be paid.” They both come out smelling like roses and even the agent doesn’t even have to hard sell. Some team is going to get taken to the cleaners for a half a good year of a guaranteed contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got nothing to do with it being a players wife from the Buffalo Bills. I have more respect in the player himself speaking about it, not his wife. But in this situation we hear Rachel first and Poyer second. Bills haven’t treated Poyer badly, he’s just getting older and they don’t have as much money to work with to keep him. They didn’t have to throw him a bone at the start of the season either but they did. I don’t think his wife should be posting anything about it on Twitter, but doing it right before the season was over while the Bills were dealing with so much stuff was just bull####.

Keep in mind the issue is state income tax- not federal. Anyway, I believe they’re taxed according the site at which they earn the weekly check. So, at least 8 or 9 games are not in NYS. At some point, those Florida players will travel to NY, NJ, California, Mass, etc. and he taxed accordingly. Furthermore, the Florida players still have the same Federal tax obligations. Some of their savings from not having to pay state income tax is offset by higher insurance costs on their real and personal property thanks to the constant and unpredictable threat of powerful hurricanes. More toll roads too. I don’t believe there’s a substantial financial benefit playing in Fla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You let go of players a year early rather than a year late. Sorry, that's business if you want to continue being a high level team. You most certainly DO NOT pay them for past performance on future contracts. I get the sentiment, but that's why you need to stay a fan and not be a GM. Gotta separate the business side of it from the emotional side of it. This is one of the major reasons the Patriots were able to last for 20 years that isn't talked about enough...Belichick was almost always right when he decided to let a big name player walk as they aged instead of paying them huge money like they got in FA.

Besides, the game checks are taxed in the state they play in so when the Bills play in FL or TX, there is no state tax. It would be impossible to manage. In addition, I work in medical sales. Now it’s not NFL$, but it’s for many of us multiple six figures. I’ve never worked for a company that adjusts for sales people and mgrs that reside in NYC, Boston, and San Fran. I do know most corporations with that kind of reach clearly adjust for cost of living differences. I wonder if tax burden is calculated or not? Not trying to flame or bash, genuinely interested. For example a mortgage payment with an escrow account will have mortgage payments (TIPI) calculated with taxes and insurance included. I wonder if TIPI mortgage payments are factored in or not.

So you simply pay nothing. Property tax, getting tags at the DMV, toll roads, etc. Are all a bit higher and it's more of a user tax. The more you do in Florida the more tax you pay.

boater Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Guys, stop talking past each other when trying to compare state taxes. There's no need to have a mangled conversation because one is talking property tax while the other is talking income tax. Bright researchers have ironed it out by calculating the Total Tax Burden of a state that includes all the taxes. And guess who finishes the worse out of fifty states... New York! https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-highest-lowest-tax-burden/20494 New York is #1 in total tax burden. Florida is number 45. Given Poyer's comments about taxes, and Tua Tagovailoa's birthday, and given what Rachel does with swim suits, I'd say he's gunning hard for Miami. I'd hate to face a motivated Poyer twice a year--even if he is geriatric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in a town outside of Orlando and my best friend from child hold lives outside Rochester, I prefer my town he prefers his but each has it's charms, both are very nice. For the past 20 years my household income and his have been within $5k of each other and our houses until 5 years ago where within 20k of each other. I save $12-15k a year in income and property taxes combined compared to him, that works out to $250-300k over a couple decades. And on case you think I am rich me and my wife are teachers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
