Re: Information on writing govt officials and voicing our opinions
LMAO and what do fans expect them to do. Here is what will happen..
1) all these Bills fans (I expect about 20K worth) will write, march, ***** and whine to the state.
2) the state being smart will ask for a meeting with the NFL.
3) Tags will say 'Ok but I am outta here in 3 months'
4) The NFL Execs will take the petitions, wipe thier arses with them and toss them in the trash.
5) A new commish will be appointed that is more in line with what the new age owners want.
6) the bills Will get nothing but laughed at by the New commish, 30 other owners and pretty much all the fans of at least 30 other teams.
7) Ralph will hold onto the Bills to the point he dies or has to move them.
bottom line all of this 'call your state rep' crap is well and good. Good PR / rah rah stuff. The Reality is just as one other poster put it....the NFL is a private business. As long as the CBA isn't illegal...the Bills new ower can ***** about it in 2011 when it comes up again, because NOTHING is going to change it now. -

I hate to say it but ICE is right on with the first 6 points and about half right with the 7th.
He has to sell to save the franchise. Plain and simple.Comment

Re: Information on writing govt officials and voicing our opinions
We should do it though. Sitting by twiddling our thumbs just gives the NFL more fuel for the fire. They'll believe the fan base just doesn't care.
I'm writing something this weekend.
Anyone else?Comment

Well, it looks like even the media understands the issues now. You can even send email to these folks. I live in California, but I have already sent emails to political representatives asking that revenue sharing we done in an equitable fashion and that all qualifiers being asked for by the high revenue team be fair.
Hopefully, even if the owners can't get the NFL offices to send them a copy of the CBA and qualifiers, maybe politicians can.Comment

Re: Information on writing govt officials and voicing our opinions
**** like this makes me feel like such a louse for leaving Buffalo in the first place. As the majority jobs fled Buffalo, so then did I. I've been trying like hell to get back there but I can seem to land anything. Still, it makes me feel partially responsible. Like I'm being punished for leaving.Comment

Tell me what was in my post that wasn't right? Even if the politicians in WNY honestly gave a crap, and they dont, the NFL doesn't give a damn what they have to say.Originally posted by THATHURMANATOR
The CBA is DONE. Signed, sealed, Delivered. We have to tough it out until 2011.Comment

The satellite industry is sparse in WNY. I've applied to about 200 jobs with Harris and haven't even gotten an email back from them.
Getting into an uplnk truck like WSB or one of the other Buffalo affiliates would be fine, but jobs in that field are rarely needed.Comment

- 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!
