We can make 500, 5k and 10k relatively easy. Experiencing the Bills winning the SB…. Priceless 3 Quote

Jauronimo Posted Thursday at 09:59 PM Posted Thursday at 09:59 PM Thats a tough answer. Also the question is open to interpretation. Should I be thinking about this in terms of: $$$$ and never see a Super Bowl victory in my lifetime? OR $$$$ there will be no Super Bowl Victory this season? 1. Its in the millions. Its gotta be life changing money for me to basically give up on football and betray my friends, family, and hometown. 2. I could live with trading one year of Allen's prime for money and no championship. I've been doing it for free for years. This year is one of our best chances to win it all in the Allen era. I would take a $500k and convince myself it wasn't their year anyway. 1 Quote
Patrick Duffy Posted Thursday at 10:00 PM Posted Thursday at 10:00 PM LOL @ $500... it's being modest to call that a "no brainer".... $500 is nothing, especially these days Quote

GunnerBill Posted Thursday at 10:12 PM Posted Thursday at 10:12 PM 4 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: Lifetime You’re either guaranteed the Super Bowl this year or guaranteed the money and zero Super Bowls in your lifetime. Essentially you are asking to buy me out of my Bills fandom. Not because I am only in it for the winning, no Bills fan could be accused of that. But because it is the hope that makes it worth it. What do I value my Bills fandom at? Honestly? You'd have to be talking 7 figures. Needs to be never work again money. 1 1 Quote
Patrick Duffy Posted Thursday at 10:17 PM Posted Thursday at 10:17 PM if one is going to use this hypothetical question, they should at least make up a high enough amount to make (Bills fans especially) actually ponder it lol Quote
MJS Posted Thursday at 10:18 PM Posted Thursday at 10:18 PM The gaurentee that they would never win one in my lifetime if I take the money is the real sticking point. I'd do it for $100k, probably, but I wouldn't love it. Closer to $200k and I wouldn't feel bad at all. At that point it would just be irresponsible not to take it. Quote
Patrick Duffy Posted Thursday at 10:18 PM Posted Thursday at 10:18 PM 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: This post got me thinking, “what’s the right number that it would take in exchange for a Bills Super Bowl?” Obviously, $500 isn’t the answer. The champagne I’d pop after a Super Bowl would exceed that. What’s your number? I’m thinking like $500K would be my number. That might be insane and it might not be high enough. That number is big enough to matter but not big enough to stop working or drastically change the day-to-day. I figure that this is an interesting place for this discussion because the people spending time here, in June, REALLY care about the Bills. EDIT: To be clear, you either get _____ dollars and the Bills do not win one in your lifetime OR they are guaranteed a championship this year. I'd easily turn down 5k, much less 500 1 Quote
Uncle Stucky Posted Thursday at 10:19 PM Posted Thursday at 10:19 PM On its face….this is probably one of the most absurd questions I’ve ever heard. No true fan is taking $500 to forgo a Championship. A million and above is a no brainer…that’s life changing. if the asker really wanted to make it hard, offer $150,000-$300,000. Not saying everyone would accept but it would sure force you to think about it. 1 1 Quote

This is hysterical to me, because my wife recently retired and just today we chose our financial advisors who will work with us and our son. Life is good, but that would be CRAZY! For me of course. I’m enjoying retirement. . Edited Thursday at 10:26 PM by Augie Quote

Augie Posted Thursday at 10:28 PM Posted Thursday at 10:28 PM What is the Jets Super Bowl worth now? Broadway Joe made a few bucks. I’d rather spend my money on travel and tickets to enjoy the games. 38 minutes ago, strive_for_five_guy said: How about $200k? Well, then I might think about it. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote
NoSaint Posted Thursday at 10:55 PM Posted Thursday at 10:55 PM Something 5 figures? Like low/mid 5? More than a modest used car but less than 50 for sure Quote

RiotAct Posted Thursday at 11:10 PM Posted Thursday at 11:10 PM Make it $50,000 and then it’d be more of a tough decision. 1 Quote
