The good news about the NFL's new revenue sharing plan is that Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson will have more pocket money to tip his chauffeurs and servants. Unfortunately, this is cash that could have been spent getting the Bills to the playoffs or retaining Takeo Spikes, but he would rather pretend he couldn't afford it.
While some news outlets in Buffalo are doing the job of the team's public relations department by portraying the new deal as necessary for the franchise's survival instead of advocating that Wilson tries to make more money himself, it's more accurate to see that things aren't that dire for the Bills.
Some Bills fans get upset at any notion contrary to the belief that the owner, after spending the day saving the team, uses any free time left to rescue babies and war widows from fires, but they need to know it's OK to criticize Wilson. You can still embrace a local business and think it could be improved, whether it be the product it offers or in getting its owner to stop complaining and start compensating talented employees.
