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?

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.

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!Last edited by Michael82; 03-25-2009, 11:15 AM.

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.
