    Well. I never did actually say he built the lines. He was quoted as saying first you build within the trenches then you get yourself a quarterback.

      Kryk said that number of 3 Million people would be more than the number of people of HALF of the NFL teams markets.

      And those three Million people are Canadians, not including all the people in America in the Buffalo market.

      The people of the suburbs of Buffalo, & Rochester & its suburbs, Central NY, North West Pa.

      It is a FALLACY that Buffalo is a small market team.
      I'm not the one that continuously said it was a small market team... The former owner did.

        As did the NFL.

        It was a myth, a fallacy that the Buffalo market is small.

        I think that fallacy was perpetrated in case the Bills moved, it could be said the market was too small to support the team...which is not true.

          "small market" is NFL owner euphemism for "revenue sharing recipient." Buffalo may have a higher population in the region but they lack big companies that buy luxury boxes and spend a gazillion dollars advertising.

          That being said, Canada is not the same as the U.S. While the Bills get a lot of support from the north, Canadians are far less likely than Americans to care about the NFL. And if they do care, they don't necessarily feel enough of a connection to WNY to like the Bills.

            Well, over 20% of fans in the Ralph come from North of the border.

            I used to spend summers between Buffalo & London Ont.

            The Buffalo TV stations are on cable up there, the NFL has a following up there.

              Yupp. You could draw a straight line from Oakville to lake huron and I'm 100% confident in saying there are a lot of Bills fans throughout this entire area.

                And the money spent by Corporations on luxury boxes goes into the home team owners pockets.

                That is not shared revenue. And the fact is, the Bills owner does not need that money like many other owners do.

                  None of them do...

                  Billionaire Steve Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers in August for $2 billion, but he could write off as much as half that in taxes by 2030, according to an analysis published Sunday, Oct. 26.

                    And actually, the Raiders for one are a team strapped for cash & need every dollar they can get from luxury boxes.

                    I'm sure there are other teams as well that depend on that money from boxes which the Bills don't have to.

                      It's the latest in the unholy alliance between the NFL and the CBA. Guaranteed $ tells players to not play hard, but protect your body at all costs. We see this already in the joke called team practice. It's essentially flag football.

                        Anybody know how many Canadian corporations pay for luxury boxes on an annual basis?
