His portfolio in Buffalo is much stronger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 His new Gatorade ads with coaches rejecting his high school letters are honestly pretty good 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julian Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 With a SB ring this year Allen will be officially the face of the league… the advertisers want him as the face of their products so badly, he’s extremely marketable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since I've visited, but I always wondered why they're left to decay & not demolished. I think I read somewhere that some of those structures on the water front area (silos I believe?) are still hanging around because people want it designated a landmark. I know it costs money to demolish buildings, but if they're in super bad shape it would just be nice to clear out & plant some trees if need be 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it's Taylor Swift level, but that ought to be worth at least some zebra affection. I don't think the NFL is wrestling, but it definitely don't hurt.

BillsPride12 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I've seen it all over social media but haven't driven by it in person yet but will try to make it out that way soon. I remember visiting Cleveland 15 years or so ago and walking around downtown and seeing a giant Lebron James poster on a building just like this one and being jealous that our sports cursed cousins on Lake Erie had such a marquee superstar that made them relevant on the national sports scene. I wondered if the Bills would ever get there again and at that time it seemed pretty bleak. Well here we are, still pretty surreal that Josh F'n Allen is our quarterback of the Buffalo Bills and we are back on the map on the national sports scene! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP51 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Came back to B LO Monday for work, drove by the Statler today and there is was... of course the City is complaining because it shouldnt be up there as the permit wasnt technically issued because people were off and didnt issue it yet... But I am pretty sure it stays LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
