They didn't need to be fleecings - Miller and Ott getting ANY return is great because they were UFAs. Miller was very likely not re-signing, so to get something for him was very good. To pack another UFA with him to make the return better was great work, IMO

stewart will be the key with carrier

if they sign him and focused, or moved at the deadline (return from that)

Carrier has an 80's look to him

I've seen talk of Stewart here for years, so I hope he can pan out. I guess it won't hurt that it's a UFA season for him coming up, so he'll likely play extra-well.

Ugh...

"I wouldn't be surprised if the team owner said, ‘Look, if you want me to stay in Buffalo, you’re going to have to pay not only 100 percent of the stadium, but you’re going to have to give it to me rent free and you’re going to have to cover some of my operating costs.”

(Bills talk, for those who can't guess)

Who was this?

I've never been pne to complain about "corporate welfare", but the way teams hold cities hostage is making me start to reconsiderhow much I follow pro sports.

I think it was from a WGR article - some professor from Smith college

It is one of the sickest things in America when you really get down to it. I want the Bills to stay, but if they go I'm not going to shed a tear over it.

You should bring your kid to UB football games. There is 1000% less hassle than a Bills game. I know its not USC or Ohio State, and there is no beer, but WOW its a night and day experience. I enjoy it.

UB is trying its best to become a "big time" program, but the only way I think that happens is if the Bills leave. In a market this size, it's rare to see both pro and college sports both be big locality

That is probably true. In fact I could see if the Bills left suddenly everybody would be a UB fan and claimed they had been the whole time. They do have some good leadership and some good money pouring in right now. They have some nice plans for that stadium.

Wonder if they start over. Now would be the time.

They have some blue-chip trading pieces to deal with (Sedins, Edler, Kesler).
