    Bill Polian to the Wall

    The Official Website of the Buffalo Bills
    http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Polian-named-Bills-28th-Wall-of-Famer/cbabda63-2ae4-40db-98d0-b2663652cbf3


    Didn't see this posted already.

    Congrats to him, and very deserved. His quotes in the article, look like they sum up his true feelings, and I'd not be surprised if he wasn't watching a few more games at the Ralph over the next few years.

          I think it should be tbh. While I never saw him play, it sounds like he was a man among boys, and if not for him, we wouldn't have won the AFL in the 60's.
          From the comments from Ralph at his passing, I think there's no 'bad blood' there either, but I'm not sure Cookie would have let it happen while he was alive, sadly.

          As a 2 time quitter, Saban will not be going up in Ralph's lifetime, and I can respect that, even if I may not necessarily agree with all of it.

            Polian, based on his work in Buffalo, Carolina and Indianapolis, is arguably the best football "architect" of our time - or perhaps any time.

            This honor is very appropriate and well deserved.
            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?

              Gave us four of our best years as a team.

                  If Cookie had played in New York, Philly, Chicago, Dallas or LA & gotten on National TV, people would be comparing him to Jim Brown today.

                    He always kept a connection with the bills. He basically made the bills again with the colts. Saturday-Hall, Manning-Kelly. Never really got his RB, but made up for it with WR and TE contributing huge! Also, Reich and Metz were coaches there at one point

                      I am guessing they didn't tell Ralph. I wounder if the C*#^ will be there.

                        Could just be fluff, but most of the articles suggest that Ralph has pushed for Polian to make the wall for a few years but the voting committee didn't feel the timing was correct.

                          Take down Levy and put Polian up there.

                              I call BS. Ralph owns the team. He has exclusive rights to the stadium. What he says goes.
