BUFFALO, N.Y. -- With at least a foot of snow expected in Orchard Park, the Buffalo Bills are looking for assistance in shoveling Highmark Stadium ahead of their wild-card round game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers from anyone who can safely reach the stadium.
When there is heavy snow before games, the team often reaches out to the community for help in getting the stadium ready for a game, considering the snow is able to impact a significant amount of the open-air stadium. The team is offering a rate of $20 an hour, and "complimentary food and breaks will be provided throughout the shifts in a comfortable warm area."
There are multiple shifts available for snow shovelers to help get Highmark Stadium ready for our Super Wild Card game! ❄️

— Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) January 13, 2024 The time and date of the game were moved from Sunday at 1 p.m. EST to Monday at 4:30 p.m. EST due to the snowstorm in the region, with public safety the priority and resources used in games also needed in other places.
Shoveling shifts were also rescheduled from beginning Saturday night to Sunday morning. Shovelers can arrive at 8 a.m., noon and 4 p.m. on Sunday. Shoveling will continue into Monday if needed. A travel ban will go into place in the region from 9 p.m. on Saturday until at least 6 a.m. on Sunday.
Anyone under the age of 18 interested in helping must have working papers, and everyone must have proper photo identification. The team encourages anyone interested in participating to dress warmly and to bring a shovel if possible. Shovels will be provided for people who don't have one.

— Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) January 13, 2024 A winter storm warning is in effect for Buffalo and surrounding areas, including Orchard Park, until 7 a.m. Monday. More than a foot of snow -- and as much as three feet -- is expected in the Buffalo area, according to AccuWeather, with winds potentially as strong as 65 mph. Snowfall at rates of two to three inches per hour is expected to begin around 6 p.m. Saturday, creating challenges to clear the roads, part of the reason the game was pushed back.
Time for the illegals to earn their keep...and what about the Governor kicking in for a few hours?
It’s at 4:30 EST, 3:30 CST, and 1:30 PST.
I’ll be on my way home from work at that time, so will listen to it on the radio until I get home.
It is NOT on any streaming service, just normal regular already over-the-air TV.
Great community effort. Yet another reason I am rooting for the Bills to win it all this year. Read Josh Allen personal story and about his family some time. As red-blooded decent American as you can get.
They require more documents to shovel snow than they do to vote.
When you consider that nbc/peacock payed the nfl a hundred million they lost roughly $58 million...just plain good business.
I don't know how many they were expecting, but I'd guess it was way north of 7 mil. Good on them.
I won't print my answer to that.
The Steelers beat the Bengals in 1976, 7-3 after Bradshaw was pile driven into the turf by Cleveland's Turkey Jones and I and most viewers thought he had a broken neck and was replaced by Mike Krucek.
That display of defense in 1976 without Terry was the best of the Steelers and in one game Krucek was 4-6 for 104 yards passing. Six passes in a game!!!
We won the division but got beat by the Raiders in the playoffs.
The Steelers came back in '77 & 78 and won two more Superbowls.
We'll never know, but it might have been 5 in a row.
The Buffalo Bills were named after "Buffalo Bill" aka William Frederick Cody.
Wikipedia
The Bills' name is derived from an All-America Football Conference (AAFC) franchise from Buffalo that was in turn named after western frontiersman Buffalo Bill.
Buffalo Bill Cody - born in Le Claire, Iowa Territory (1846)

Buffalo Bill Dam - Cody, Wyoming - completed January 15, 1910
January 15, 1967 - 1st Super Bowl (in Los Angeles; Packers v Chiefs; Packer w 35-10)
Turned out the game is being aired on regular NBC too, which I guess owns Peacock.
What’s your point? EBT card in all 50 states has a PIN, like any debit card.
That’s funny.
Also, does that mean that customers already subscribed to Peacock had to pay a pay-per-view fee?
Good. Maybe they won’t pull that stunt again.
I’m thinking a decent chunk of those who paid were sports bars.
Why didn’t you close the deal with the 50% cash? /
Bills vs Steelers NFL playoff game could get postponed AGAIN as travel ban remains in place through Sunday... with players and fans waiting for news from league and New York governor
1 it’s illegal
2 it’s immoral
3 it’s sinful........
Buccaneers are whipping the Eagles with about six minutes left.
The Bills beat the Steelers.
