Johnny DangerFace Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 When was the last time the league expected Buffalo to be good? After the glorious Trent Edwards start a few years ago we were near the top of the power rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 http://www.gofundme.com/NewEnglandPatriots I actively participate in a sports message board, spend way too much time reading about and watching sports, and use sports analogies while teaching...and even I think the guy who started this needs to re-evaluate his perspective on life.

Many other posters in that thread I don't recognize. Boyes is in there and he was professing his liking of Cy Hgns back in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruff made a few million dollars per year, and his net worth is measured by millions. The Patriots make hundreds of millions per year (in revenue...who knows what their actual profit is) and their net worth is measured in billions. The Boston gofundme is an order of magnitude dumber.

Sabres season ticket holders just spent $80 million the past 2 seasons on a team who openly marketed the fact that they wanted to finish in last place, while not being able to give their tickets away for free many nights. I think thanking ol' Bobby with an obvious social media attempt at fame that probably won't come anywhere close to the total, in thanks for a decade of championship sports, isn't the worst thing in the world.

K-9 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Sabres season ticket holders just spent $80 million the past 2 seasons on a team who openly marketed the fact that they wanted to finish in last place, while not being able to give their tickets away for free many nights. I think thanking ol' Bobby with an obvious social media attempt at fame that probably won't come anywhere close to the total, in thanks for a decade of championship sports, isn't the worst thing in the world. That is squarely on the fans and the fans only. Perhaps the Sabres gambled on the loyalty and intelligence of their fan base to understand that rebuilding from scratch and securing top picks in consecutive drafts was a strategy they could get behind. Given the number of tickets sold, I'd say they were right. Given the number of renewals at increased ticket prices, I'd say that fan base has voted solidly in their favor. GO SABRES!!!

Yes they have....yes they have...... And it's squarely on the fans of the Patriots to contribute money to an owner that has brought them rings, trophies, and a reason to order 2 buckets of wings and a pony keg for pretty much every weekend in January and into February since he got there. I agree the idea is cheeseball.....but Buffalo fans calling them out for it is like Marcel Dareus looking at Vince Wilfork and going, "pffft....look how fat that guy is"......

Claude_Verret Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 IIRC correctly both the Sabres and Lindy came out fairly quickly and asked fans not to donate towards paying his fine. Maybe the Pats** have as well by now, but I've pretty much tuned out deflate gate at this point, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Oh Boston, every time something happens to your sports teams I am reminded why I hate them so much. No sympathy for them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
