All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Forbes reports that the Bills are #7 of 30 teams in profitability in the NFL. This is very good considering how small of a market Buffalo actually is. IMO, this is a reflection on the dedication from the fans for the Bills. We all deserve a nice pat on the back.
They shouldn't be moving anywhere then. The problem comes in where the team is only worth slightly more than half of what Washington is worth. The value would skyrocket in a city like LA.
Plus, what would all the people in Buffalo do if the Bills werent around? Probably sit around, drink Paps Blue Ribbon and shoot empty whiskey bottles. LOL
echo what is pabst blue ribbon? O'h wait I remeber they drink that stuff in a Florida, and it is brewed in Disney Lands urinals, up north we drinkLabatts mkna Blue, or fine Canadian Beers. Again shooting whiskey bottles? Another great soujthern pastime. Has the air conditiong been leaking tits freon into your room again?

Be careful when judging this. I have not read the full article yet but I have seen these in the past. The data can be misleading. In the past they have used total player salaries as a cost. The Bills paid out just over $31 million last year in salaries because they had so much committed to the cap in bonuses. If they use that data again this year the Bills will not make as much money for RWS because they will spend about $45 million in salaries this year. Thus, when a team has a lot of bonus money tied up in the cap for that year they look more profitable because the owner has already fronted some of the money for that year.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
Last night's game was, without a doubt, the worst ever. Rest assured, I was on the internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world.

True, but if they did it as in the past it will only include bonuses paid in 2001...so that is like Moulds and stuff like that...not prior bonuses like Ruben Brown or Rob Johnson's money.

Originally posted by echo_bravo Well, when you have fans with NO LIVES that camp out 2 days before a preseason game, you are going to be pretty profitable.
Sounds like somebody is jealous because their team can't even sell out a playoff game, LMFAO!!!! Just think what we will do when we make the playoffs... You should come on up. We can show you how REAL fans party and support their team!!

I agree with you 100% ... however, high profitability hopefully means that if someone in LA is interested in the team, there might be someone just as interested in buying the team and keeping it in the proven market.
problem is 458 mill a lotta cash for this area to come up with.

I know, but I figure if they can find buyer's for the Sabre's who I believe lose money, I'd think they can find some people to pay a lot more for the Bills who actually make money.
