As I’m sure we all are aware by now, the Jets were actually the team in the spot that won the lottery. Surprisingly, there hasn’t been a lot of noise on this front.


That's not correct. The alphabetized teams in the first lottery do not correspond to an actual team. They were placeholders for the 2nd lottery.

I don't blame you for getting it wrong because the system is unbelievably, inconceivably dumb and confusing

Uhhhhh, actually they do. Team E won, which would’ve been the 12 worst team based on points percentage. Don’t opine on something you aren’t able to comprehend, JCragCreepy.

Your boy Botts doesn’t need to waste picks on scrubs like Frolik etc... if he doesn’t trade away all his Stars for scrub players and picks. That was his doing. Sobotka, Bergland, Thompson, super prospect O regan.

You can say the same thing about Murray. He wouldn’t have had to trade for Oreilly if all Darcy’s trash didn’t bust like Grigerenko and Girgensons.

They were just odds-based place holders. It has nothing to do with the Jets in any way and has no bearing on where they will pick whatsoever at this point.

No that was the owners doing, he just had a hand it. And TM was set up decently by Darcy to continue with the rebuild, he just didn't do a very good job of it, and that goes somewhat on the owners to, they pushed him, but TM was horrible in drafting and paid way to much in his trades.

JCragCreepy, each letter represented a team’s odds of winning based on points percentage. Letter E represented the team with a 2.5% chance. 12th place points percentage. Would’ve been Peg. Not the peg you’re into either creeper so don’t get any ideas.

Moron, letter E represents a placeholder. If it represented the Jets, we'd be talking about how the Jets won the lottery. It doesn't and they didn't, so we aren't.

I'll translate it to middle earth for you: it would be like if Cersei Lanister oh jesus christ I'm already bored.

Let's just say that theory is made up the same way that your favorite middle earth soap opera was made up

Creeper, stop digging. You’re wrong. Every letter was given combinations of balls that teams 8-15 would’ve got in the draw. Team E rep’d 12th place (worst).

The Jets have zero tie to the alphanumeric team selected at that position, just like you have no tie to the 15 year old boy you cosplay as

Gross. I find your creepiness offensive. 15 year old boys are right in your wheel house.

I ran out of monthly articles. Is that because of the workforce they laid off?

That’s my guess too. Poloncarz went off about it on WBEN?

There is a lot to it:

A source with inside knowledge of the negotiations said PSE has been working with New Era for "well over a year" to restructure the deal to support their business.

The change comes as NFL teams continue to develop alternatives to recoup potential lost revenue if fans, or a limited number of fans, are allowed in stadiums this season. Across the league, stadium revenue accounts for $5.5 billion, including tickets, concessions, sponsors, parking and team stores, according to Forbes. The Bills stand to lose $104 million of $386 million in total revenue if no fans are allowed, Forbes said.

The News reported in May that the Bills were examining seating models for 15%, 33% and 50% capacity. New Era Field has a listed seating capacity of 73,079. The Bills have not announced plans for reduced capacity, although teams around the league have unveiled plans in recent days, with the City of Philadelphia saying they expected no fans this season to watch the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Bills are among two-thirds of the teams in the league that have offered season ticket holders the option of opting out from their 2020 tickets with no penalty and to resume in 2021.

Among the potential offsets for lost stadium revenue is a new initiative approved by NFL owners last month that allows the first eight rows to be covered with advertising banners that would be visible on television broadcasts. That could be an option for the Bills, especially with a schedule that has a number of national television appearances.

For New Era, the end of the naming-rights deal accentuates the difficulties the company has faced over the last two years, even before the coronavirus pandemic forced the shutdown of sports that are so vital to its business. And the circumstances around the early end of the arrangement draws a stark contrast to where New Era stood in August 2016, when CEO Chris Koch joined Bills officials for a celebratory news conference announcing the deal on the 20-yard line of the stadium........................

Welp, if the profit money printing business side of the Pegula's empire know as the NFL Buffalo Bill's is taking additional financial hits in addition to loss of significant gate revenue, I do wonder if the Superyacht will be downgraded in size and amenities?

I'm guessing it has to do with him being on an AHL-only contract this season.

He was one of the final training camp cuts during Housley's second year iirc. Then he had an injury that year.
