According to my financial guy I’m set for retirement.  So give me the trophy.

That's not saying much.  You're so old, your life expectancy is about 38 days, so you probably only need $500 for the rest of your retirement.

I wouldn’t trade any amount of money for them absolutely not winning in my lifetime. There’s no amount. They’re one of the most important things in my life, sad as that may seem, and knowing they had no chance would effectively take that from me. 

100% agree with the sentiment that no sum of money would be worth it.

The better question is, "How much would you bet as an emotional hedge if your team were in the Super Bowl?" Probably $2,000.

I was thinking this same thing lol.

 

My emotional hedge would probably be $50k, anything more and my wife might make me sell the bourbon collection lol

This is a really weird thread.  
 

the Yankees took out their brooms in KC tonight.  Mahomes sat front row watching his team lose this week.

 

now if we could just get the other New York team to win in KC.

There is that…

A Super Bowl will get you through times of no money better than money will get you though times of no Super Bowl.

 

I'll take the Lombardi.

[transplantbillsfan]

Number needs to go at least 6 digits for me.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

I would give up ALOT to see it happen. 

I think maybe $100,000 might be my cut off? Idk. Likely more.

[Rubes]

I would have to get to seven figures before I’d seriously consider the money.

Thanks, I’m in the 7th inning watching it on DVR.

I'd do it for whatever is in House's wallet.

You can't put a price on something that would bring you, great joy. 

Oh you can. I've met several women in Vegas who do it all the time

[BigDingus]

Yeah.... I can definitely be bought, but not for $500 😆

 

I need that extra money though, so offer me $5,000, then MAYBE I'd take that. Sorry, economy is rough right now!

I think I’m there also.  I’m semi-retired and comfortable so the money doesn’t mean all that much…would need to be crazy $$ for me to give up the chance of the Bills winning it.

 

[Freak-O]

Where is the fun in a guaranteed victory? $500 isn’t a lot either. I’d take none of the alternatives, miss out on the money and live with the excitement that the Bills might win.

[machine gun kelly]

What I want more than anything is for my Dad to witness his 1st SB win since 1960.  My dad turns 95 in August, so he doesn’t have a lot of time left.  I’ve done well in my life so making $ is easy.  A SB win on the other hand is something I wouldn’t exchange for any amt. of $.

[kenny3000]

$500k would be tough to pass up. But the collective value to the X number of Bills Mafia, present and past, would be too much to turn down. Every one of us that has a loved one no longer here that gets to go to that emotional happy place with them for that SB win. That emotional energy and value? I'd rather just work harder and get what I get. That celebration, parade for the city and Bills Mafia worldwide would be too sweet.. 

Unless we talking like $10 million lol

[Johnny Bravo]

To me, the guarantee of victory would take away the joy that came with it.  
 

When I picture the clock hitting zero in a Super Bowl with the Bills on top I think of all the pain and disappointment over the years and all the angst that will go into the lead up to the game itself, and how they won’t matter anymore.  All the previous hurt and worry will actually fuel the joy I’ll have at the Bills finally being champs.

 

If I know we a will win in advance, I won’t get to have that singular moment in the same way.

Sorry. It’s a guaranteed victory or they never win one in your lifetime. 

In which case, the price goes up. $500k sounds like the breakeven deal number to me. 

But boy it is a tough question you asked. 

Let's say I chose the money, and 30 years later I am on my death bed. What will I feel? My guess is that I will think at the time that I was a fan for 64 years and my team has no ring to show for it, wasted a generational QBs talents and put my emotions though the wringer year after year with no payback. At that point, before death, I will regret having chosen the $500k.

$500.00 without thinking twice.  What am I going to do with a Lombardi trophy?
