Eventhough the last 15 years have been horrible, to say the least, one thing that excites me about this team is when this team switches ownership. First off, I'm not a crude who wants Ralph to die, but I must be honest, that I am anxious for this team to have a new guy in charge.
One trademark, of any successfull franchise, in all of pro sports, is having a solid, smart, and aggressive owner, who not only will spend the dough, but will do so, almost out of neccessity, to the fans, and the city. Its a year after year committment to fielding a Super Bowl contender. They bid for the big names, they keep their talent, extend contracts, have great coaches, and the fans appreicate there level of devotion for the team.
Which brings me to my point. Does this above description sound like anyone we have gotten to know recently? Yup, sounds just like Terry Pegula. The guy is committed to winning, has smart people in key positions, in a short time he's retooled a roster into the best team, on paper, maybe ever. Some may need more of a body of proof, but I'm sold on this guy.
Whats to say this very, very, very rich guy, who loves Buffalo, and has a track record for being a Godsent, takes over ownership after Ralph. This isn't a pipedream IMHO. I could very well see this happening. I would not be surprised if it didn't, but I'm not gonna let that kill my hope.
Even if its not TP, whoever the successor is, will be better than the meddling, tight, cheap, imcompetent, and scenile old guyeser we have now!!
Let the debate begin...
