    Sunday's Game is a Sell Out

    The Bills game against the Patriots on Sunday sold out before Thursday's 1 o'clock deadline and will be televised locally. Russell Salvatore bought the remaining tickets.

    Here is the press release sent out by the Bills.

    BILLS - PATRIOTS GAME SOLD OUT

    Russell J. Salvatore of Russell’s Steaks, Chops and More purchases remaining tickets

    Orchard Park, NY – The Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots game this Sunday, December 26, 2010 at Ralph Wilson Stadium is sold out and will be televised locally thanks to a last-minute ticket purchase from Russell J. Salvatore ofRussell’s Steaks, Chops & More in Williamsville, NY.

    When Salvatore heard that the Bills game was close to not being on television, he decided to do something special for the Western New York Community.

    “I bought the remaining tickets so the Bills could be televised locally for our community, and so that some of the less fortunate could enjoy going to the game,” said Salvatore. “This is a Christmas present to the community, and I wish everyone in Buffalo a Happy Holidays! It feels good to do it, I love doing it and this comes from the heart.”

    The remaining tickets will be distributed to various military and local youth charitable organizations in the Western New York community.

      Of course, it took a guy named "Salvatore" to get this done. :)

      Oh, and "Salvatore" means "Savior" in Italian.

      I'm just sayin'.

        Those in WNY should reward this guy by going to eat and watch the game at his steakhouse!

        I would if I were there!

          Great quote from Russ Salvatore:
          "Christmas isn't about money, it's about family. I wanted the people of Western New York to be able to stay home on Sunday and watch the game with their families."

                              Now THAT would be a good thing.
                              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?
