Another thing to factor in, is that back in those years, they were making the playoffs. More games = more money. In those days, I couldn't even spit in any direction and not hit someone decked out in Bills gear. Now, I don't see anyone wearing Bills stuff. Also, the NFL itself is an even bigger beast now, then it was 20 years ago. So it is quite possible RW is making more or the same now. I can't proclaim to know anything business wise in regards to NFL merchandising cuts, tv contracts, profit sharing, etc. Not to mention the value of the dollar is also different in 2011 vs. 1991. It would be pretty neat if someone could figure out the profit difference between those Bills and the current ones...

Smart move on the new tailgating rules.

I am still a Bills fan, somehow. Although, the past couple seasons I have secretly begun rooting for other teams. I made a personal pact a few seasons ago, that I would not spend my money or go to games, until the team showed they were committed to winning. How do you go from a team that was so dominant in the 90s, to such a dismal display in the last 11 years? Where did the commitment go? When the Sabres have lousy teams, it's usually for only a couple seasons. The Bills are now reaching ridiculous levels. Remembering all the hype and excitement of the 90s when playoffs were rolling around, RW had to have been making WAAAAY more money than now. Bills fans were spending like crazy So what is the issue? It's embarrassing when people ask who your football team is, and you find yourself mumbling "the Bills." It's like having a disease that you are ashamed to admit to. Luckily, I am more of a hockey fan than football, but I find myself watching more of the alternate games on TV instead of the Bills.

One waffle? There is ONE waffle left in the box? Who does that! I am sure gonna be full after stuffing this single, solitary waffle down my eager mouth hole.

Exactly. I had Ovi all season, and there was a few points in the season when I would have been interested in trading him.

I didnt realize this was a rule, and it led me to being stuck with Gaborik all season, which was frustrating. I didnt mind the immediate free agent pickups, because it gave me an opportunity to poach a few players that other teams didn't think anyone would grab in that 24 hour window. I ended up getting Setoguchi and Pavelski from that.

I'll win the gold.

Anyone who wants to play in a league, and didn't get into one of these, let me know. If there are enough people, I will set up a league.

Check eBay. I saw one on there a few months ago for about $150

I hear ya. I don't care much enough about cars to own something flashy, and I feel there are more important things to spend money on, like loved ones (and Sabres tix). But, I wonder if I should get something newer soon - before troubles begin. My luck with the Lumina has been unbelievable.

I drive a 98 Lumina that I have had for about 10 years. She ain't flashy, but it's only had to get repairs once! Reading about what everyone else has, makes me wonder if it might be about time to move on...

There is a Lindy Ruff thread? I didn't notice.

I would like to play, if there's room. Played in an anonymous yahoo league for the first time, won the Cup despite entering playoffs ranked sixth. Would be fun to play with other Sabres diehards...let me know!
