Bills offering fans the deal of a lifetime: Shovel snow and watch the Browns
If you shovel snow for four hours you get a free ticket to a game no one wants to see
The Buffalo Bills are facing a bit of a crisis when it comes to their Week 15 game. No, it's not the potential for a loss to the Browns. No, it's not Rex Ryan's job being on the line.
It's more about the snow set to fall in Buffalo over the next 12 hours and how the team is going to handle it. Even though the National Weather Service has issued a warning indicating they expect just an inch of snow, the Bills are looking for people to help shovel said snow. However, looking at the Erie County snowfall report shows there could be up to 9.1 inches of snow in the next 24 hours at the airport and between 2.2 and 10 inches around the county.
Which is why the Bills are asking for people to help shovel snow. The deal they're offering to anyone who is 18 and over ("or under 18 with working papers"): $10 an hour and a free ticket to the Bills' game against the Browns.
From the team's release:
Shovelers can shovel snow throughout the day on Saturday and into the night into Sunday if needed. Rate of pay is $10 per hour. Lunch and dinner breaks will be provided throughout the shifts in a comfortable warming area. In addition, a complimentary Bills football game ticket will be given to those that work a four-hour shift or longer.
It's also just possible the Bills want to avoid another delay-causing snow snafu like the one from last week.
Unfortunately for those people that will be shoveling, the price of a ticket to the Bills game is actually worth just about the same as an hour's worth of shoveling.
And, of course, the game is against the Browns.
And it will be like 25 degrees out there. So if you're willing to work for four hours -- or need work and/or money -- you can then spend another four hours standing in the cold and snow watching the Bills hopefully blast the Browns.
Imagine the scene if they lose.
