Amish Rake Fighter Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Buffalo Bills need help shoveling 220,000 tons of snow from stadium, offer $10/hour, free tickets Orchard Park, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills need your help. With more than four feet of snow falling in Orchard Park on Tuesday, Ralph Wilson Stadium is buried. As coach Doug Marrone and his staff are snowed in at One Bills Drive, the grounds crew has to remove 220,000 tons of snow from the stadium and its surrounding areas. That's enough to fill the ADPRO Sports Complex, where the Bills practice, eight times. But they could have even more snow to remove if they want to play their Week 12 game against the New York Jets as scheduled at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. That's why the Bills are looking for people to help with the shoveling efforts. Once the driving ban is lifted in Orchard Park, Bills vice president of operations Andy Major said the Bills will be paying $10 per hour and offering game tickets for anyone interested in helping with the shoveling efforts. Anyone looking to help is asked to call 716-636-4840. "We're looking to have 500 shovelers on site working those triple shifts," Major said. "We don't have a minimum number. We can't have too many people helping." http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2014/11/bills_offer_10hour_free_tickets_for_help_shoveling_220_tons_of_snow_from_stadium.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Glad to have Blount back. Even if he was a "cancer" in Pittsburgh and wasn't used effectively, BB will. I'm sure Gray will still get the majority of the carries and Blount will be used for those short yardage situations. Hell, he might even slot in as FB and just be the lead blocker for Gray.Either way, glad to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Buffalo Bills need help shoveling 220,000 tons of snow from stadium, offer $10/hour, free tickets Think they are now realizing how stupid of an idea that was .. how are these volunteers going to get to stadium to help? How will other fans or even players get to stadium. Where will you shovel the snow in the stadium to? What about the parking lot?

TheRussianRocket. Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 ^honestly the dumbest thing I've heard. Shame on the franchise. You have the entire city snowed in, roads completely blocked, and people that are rationing food and here are the Bills asking people ontop of all that to come down and help the stadium so the team can play? ffs...outright stupid and inhumane. Bills just showcased they don't care about the people and care about themselves only. If they want to shovel the snow hire private companies that will work and not your own citizens that are barely passing by atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's not gunpoint, it's more of a tossup offer but disregarding that, it's shameful when they know the conditions the community is in.

Neversummer Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Imagine if 10 people actually made it to the stadium ... they show up and see that there isn't a huge crew there. Here's what they're thinking ... WTF, 10 of us going to shovel 220,000 tonnes of snow ??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksPatsFan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 First and second down: Run that beefed up freak Gray right down the defense's throat Third down: Convert by running the bulldozer Blount right down the defense's throat. Rinse and Repeat for the first half. Second half: First and second down: Alternate running Gray and Blount down the defense's throat Third down: Play action and hit a wide open Vereen. It's genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best page on FB by miles So awesome he's letting out his personality this season, kinda like Lu...so goofy but so funny And Blount + Gray = nearly 500lbs of kickass. Then Vereen who's our poor mans Kevin Faulk, it's a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a fan wants to go shovel snow and get rewarded, what's wrong with that? And what happens when one of those fans slips and breaks thier neck? So you going to have your legal team draft out a waiver form? Just hire a company to do it and save your franchise the embarrassment, this is all over the news now.
