You doubt what he is reporting?
- Slump Buster


I'm not doubting it so much as he's proven to actually know about as much as everyone else, which is virtually nothing.

There's been "progress" since March. All these reporters and insiders took a swing at their predictions and (frank)ing whiffed. They don't know dyck.

Smart fvckin guy,

The guy I was referring to was Ulf Fernstrom.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27826089/

Introduction: Artificial disc replacements, which serve the function of separating vertebrae to allow for proper spinal alignment, can help treat debilitating low back pain in patients who have failed other conservative methods of treatment. A Swedish surgeon, Ulf Fernström, was the pioneer of artificial disc replacement, and his contribution in the form of Fernström balls dramatically altered spinal surgery and technique by showing the proper technique and implant that should be used for areas requiring motion in many planes.

History of the artificial disc: Ulf Fernström created his artificial disc inspired by the movement of the hip and knee joints. His implants attempted to restore disc spacing and articulation in patients who had failed conservative measures of treatment. Fernström balls were the first implants of their kind and represent the first attempt at artificial disc replacement. However, many surgeons and researchers questioned Fernström balls, claiming that their lack of elastic properties could damage patients.

Conclusions: Of the wide range of implants on the market for the intervertebral disc space, all designs and applications of products stem from the initial discovery made by Fernström, thus making him a pioneer in disc replacement.

Dr Fernstrom created the first artificial disc, Cappuccino made it mainstream in the US and helped create a better disc.

Dr Cappuccino did my wife's back surgery

That John Davidson lib wont let zack rinaldo into camp without being vaccinated. How unamerican.

All kidding aside, seems like the nfl didnt like when Beane mentioned cutting guys based on the vaccine.

98% sheep in the nhl. Pretty good start, wonder if more teams hold a similar position.

Also, eichel = 2%
Or has anyone heard differently. Wonder if that would be a determining factor too

It was more how is the Bills stadium so much money with being just a stadium. Something seems off.

A football stadium is at least 3 times the size of a hockey arena.

Buffalo's issue is actually population size more than it is climate. Are there enough people in the area that would use a campus like that on a regular basis other than just on gamedays? In order to make it work, you have to find something else that attracts people to the area. Shopping is usually the default suggestion, but the Buffalo Metro area just isn't big enough for more than one of those. The Walden Galleria is relatively centrally located, and retail rent isn't that high (not that it's dirt cheap either). You would have to convince retailers to leave the mall for the new place, which will undoubtedly increase their overhead, because they aren't opening up second locations.

You could try to put other type of activities there. OnCore Golf had announced plans for a Topgolf-esque type of driving range near the Outer Harbor. Perhaps putting it on the same campus or very nearby would help, but it would only be a start. You need more than that. Of course, there's also the issue of getting people the run the businesses down there, because, as we've seen, the Pegulas are very bad at it.

Now here's a crazy thought: Get the ownership group of the Walden Galleria to go all-in on demolishing the current mall and putting the new Bills Stadium there, as a mall/stadium complex.

Pretty pricy real estate

"Walden Galleria, a 1.6 million-square-foot shopping mall in Cheektowaga, N.Y., near Buffalo, N.Y., has been appraised at a value of $216 million"

Isn't the mall sinking? Like literally sinking?

I don't know if the land could handle the weight of a stadium
