Ralph Wilson Hospitalized

[kishoph]

According to WGR Bills owner Ralph Wilson is in the hospital, they report he is in good condition. No other news.

[ckg927]

WGRZ is reporting much the same thing, leading the 5pm newscast with it.

They add that the Bills aren't saying what hospital he's in, or what he's hospitalized for.

[OpIv37]

Good condition? They must have the wrong guy. Ralph hasn't been in good condition in about 15 years.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

The beginning of the end...

Probably a hospital in or around Detroit, with injuries from a fall.

The beginning of the end...

no, the beginning of the end was when he didn't make it to Buffalo for games last year for the first time ever.

[The King]

That's what old people do, they die.

:tear:

[The last buffalo fan]

Get well old man! :pray:

[kishoph]

Ralph is 93 years old, I hope he doesn't pass soon, but he has lived a nice long life and definitely left his mark in this World.
Get well Mr. Wilson

[Luisito23]

Please get well soon, and please don't let it be nothing too serious....And him being the Bills' owner has nothing to do with it.

Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson is in the hospital, according to a WGRZ report. .

A Bills spokesperson did not tell WGRZ why Wilson, 93, was in the hospital, but said he was in good condition.

Wilson was well enough to attend a dedication in early August of a new center named in his honor on the grounds of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

It was nearly a year ago that the Bills' owner suffered a broken hip.

Wilson, who will turn 94 in October, has been noticeably absent from Bills games over the past year. He missed his first home game in 52 years last year because of the broken hip.

It is now real - I read it on the interwebs

[YardRat]

Maybe he's just donating semen.

[Typ0]

if he's in good condition what is he doing in the hospital?

[mikemac2001]

Hes to cheap to pay hospital bills

[ServoBillieves]

Really hope he's OK. It would also be nice to know if he has a set plan for when he passes.

He finally opened his pocket book this year.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Uh oh, where do we stand as far as backup owner? Are we going to make a trade? Good thing this happened in the pre-season and not the regular season. How much would the Pats want for Bob Kraft?

This is a thread that needs spikedlemondade... with him... This thread goes to 30 pages overnight.

Does he start a long string of don't worry be happy posts?

[TacklingDummy]

At 93 any condition is good condition.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Hang on Ralph. The Bills finally have a reason for hope this season. Gotta wait out the season!

[Skooby]

No one gets well in the hospital, you get well at home.

[Turf]

At his age all kind of things start to fail. The fact that he's there is not good. The fact that his condition is good means he's alive today.

[mikemac2001]

i dont want any patches he needs to go out seeing a winner

[kishoph]

WGR just reported that Ralph is suffering from an infection, didn't add anything else other than to say he is doing well. Good news, I'm not ready for Ralph to pass.

How is a ~94 year old guy with an infection at a hospital good in any way?

Not really sure that's a good thing. People in good health don't usually get hospitalized for infections. They get sent home with antibiotics.

[kishoph]

It's a minor infection, at his age it could of been something much worse and seeing that there was no news till this morning just what was wrong, finding out that it wasn't something life threatening e.g. heart, it is good news. If you couldn't understand that's what I meant, especially with the sentence that followed, you have comprehension problems or you were just trying to be a .....

[DraftBoy]

When this finally happens, things are going to move very quickly with regard to the Bills. I hope Mr. Wilson is able to recover just fine, but anybody whose heart skipped a beat when they read this title knows exactly what Im talking about.

[JoeMama]

Ralph Wilson still played tennis regularly into his late 80s.

The guy's got good genes where long life is concerned.

Hopefully this health scare is minor so he can witness our triumphant return to the playoffs.

THIS SEASON.

[The King]

he should spend a few bucks to build a cyborg body to carry his head around.

Maybe he just tweaked his knee. Anyway get better Ralph we need ya!

[Skooby]

Any updates ??

[Downinfloflo]

What did he get hospitalized for?

He finally see how much $$$ Buddy paid Mario Williams?

[kishoph]

Any updates ??


"Wilson Apparently Still Hospitalized," this was from last night. I thought with a "minor infection" he would of been home in a day or two at the most. I guess at 93, no illness is minor. Hopefully he gets well soon and is still with us for a few more years at least. With all he has done for football for over 50 years, he deserves to win a Super Bowl trophy.

I don't think too much can be inferred from this.

Certainly it's not a good thing that he's still in the hospital, and I'm sure the team or his family would have announced it if/when he is released. At the same time, there is no reason to assume the worst. He's old and his health has been failing for a while- in those situations, it often takes longer to get relatively routine medical problems under control.

If he's still in the hospital a few days from now from an "infection," well, then it would be cause for concern.

[kishoph]

Thank you for the update.

You're welcome.

[mybills]

pneumonia? common infection with the elderly. :idunno:

Pneumonia is called the old folk's friend. You go quick and peaceful. I'm old; hope that that is how I go out...

Apparently the Bills organization will not be providing updates on Ralph Wilson's condition. We will have to rely on outside sources which are hardly ever accurate to find out about his current status. They are attempting to silence anyone close to the organization from speaking on his condition. This is what I've heard.

[Mouldsie]

Get well soon Ralph!

[stuckincincy]

Get well soon Ralph!


Ditto !!!!!

Can Coach Sal or anyone with connections back this up?

If they are going to these lengths to hide his condition, it can't be good.

My thoughts, exactly

[Generalissimus Gibby]

So are the Buffalo Bills turning into Weekend at Bernie's?

[Historian]

Channel 2 is reporting he was released yesterday and is fine.

The guy will outlive us all.

[OpIv37]

I've actually said this before. I think Ralph actually died about 5 years ago and Russ Brandon has been controlling him with a crude system of ropes and pulleys, a la Weekend at Bernies.

according to buffnews, he was released

[OpIv37]

good news for Ralph, and good news that the team can go into Week 1 without worrying about this.

[DraftBoy]

Good for Ralph!

[YardRat]

Yeah, it's one of the top stories on the local evening news tonight. He's out.

The last couple of seasons must be really tough for him, not being able to attend every game in person.
