Re: OUTSTANDING column by Dicesare
DiCesare is right. I was appalled at the Bills' pathetic response to the latest Toronto scheme.
I have lost all respect for Ralph, and his empty promises. He is doing his absolute best to give the finger to the Bills' loyal fans and beleagured Erie County taxpayers, and to effect a move of this franchise upon his demise.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Re: OUTSTANDING column by Dicesare
So because Wilson has spent 60 years keeping the team here and now at the end of his ownership/time on this Earth he's preserved their future at the cost of a game you're going to boo him?Originally posted by homeslice5484
What's going to happen if the Bills do move? Will it just be a lifetime of blaming Wilson or looking to a new team to toss?
Every year, the Bills get about 20 mil or so from the state and as a New York, New Yorker when I lived there I didn't mind one bit my tax money helping out the team. That money now also goes to the Giants and Jets - is there equal railing about the legislatures that allow them to take your Erie dollars and place them in 'Joisey?
At the end of the day, if someone believes Wilson is the devil, or a carpetbagging, cheap old man, this post won't change that. I'm just saying we shouldn't just pitch fork and torch him in his last years on this Earth.

Re: OUTSTANDING column by Dicesare
its the fact that they continue to lie to us...and refuse to tell us anything. They say they didnt know about the poll in toronto to us...then they say they did to the media. Now it might be 2 games, etc. etc. Just tell us the truth, thats all we want.
Everytime something good happens, they find a way to ruin the excitement. Like when we beat miami 2 years ago at home in the rain and snow...a blowout, ralph goes on tv questioning the bills future. Way to ruin the victory.
Now we get TO, get excited...and the Toronto thing pops up again.
Just do us a favor Ralph and tell us the truth. You have done a lot for us, but we have done a lot for you.Last edited by homeslice5484; 03-25-2009, 09:35 AM.Comment

Re: OUTSTANDING column by Dicesare
I read this article this morning at work and I agree with it 100%. He nailed it. **** Ralph and **** the Bills! If they are going to keep stringing us along, until we are down to 3-4 home games a year, they can kiss my ass!

Re: OUTSTANDING column by Dicesare
I'm a former die hard Whalers fan too, and there's nothing worse then losing your team. If the Bills end up moving, I might just have to give up being a pro sports fan all together.Originally posted by venis2k1Comment

Re: OUTSTANDING column by Dicesare
The reason people are busting out the pitchforks and torches is because the bolded statement is patently false. First, 2010 is the Bills' 50th anniversary. Before 1960, there was no Bills franchise and there was no pro football in Buffalo. Where you got 60 is beyond me.Originally posted by methos4ever
Second, and more importantly, Ralph has NOT secured the future of this franchise. At best, he's kept the wolves at bay until he croaks. And depending on what happens with the uncapped season in 2010 and work stoppage in 2011, the Bills may not even last that long. Ralph has done NOTHING to ensure this team remains in Buffalo beyond the next 4 years (end of the Toronto deal and I believe the stadium lease as well, but I could be wrong about that).
Contrast this with another small-market owner: Lamar Hunt. He recently passed away and had a full succession plan aligned that guaranteed the Chiefs stay in KC for the foreseeable future.
Ralph's never won a SB, has had a pathetic franchise for the last 10 years and roughly 40 out of the last 50 years, and can no longer guarantee that our team will be in Buffalo for the long term. And we're supposed to cheer for him now? I don't think so.Comment

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
- There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
