Starts in about 20 minutes and will be live on buffalobills.com. Should be exciting to see what they have to say. Quite a historic moment for this franchise.

Wow, I wasn't expecting so much emotion from Terry.

How many Brandon apologists are there, really?

I mean anyone would have to have their head pretty far up their ass to like the job that Brandon's done.

Not saying there are any but some of you act like we're doomed if he's not fired. I don't care either way. If the Pegulas are ok with him then I'm fine as long as he stays out of football decisions.

If the goal is to win superbowls, then russ Brandon has no place on the team. You guys sell the area short of you think of him as amarketing genius. The bills will need a top end front office that knows how to scout, knows how to coach and knows how to develop players. In 15 years that's lacking.

Brandon may or may not be entirely responsible, but when you take the ceo title, you inherit those problems unless you fix them. The Bills are currently built to maybe make the playoffs this year and will have a journeyman starter for the nth time since 2002 and who is old. That's not how a winner is built and that's not how you inspire people below. "Look at this ****ty leader keep his job while yours is in danger ". Simply by being here through it all shows the culture the bills have endured will sray

i trust terry will make mistakes and I'm fine with that. But if they want to take a meaningful step forward they need to part ways with russ at the end of the season. I hope russ didn't oversell himself in the sales process to essentially have a job for life.

Better get used to it... Brandon is a gifted marketer and businessman. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him go back to the business side and give up any control over the football side.

If this team makes the playoffs this season, the only way Brandon goes anywhere is of his own accord.

I think they just said on the news that Littman and another (missed the other name, sorry) are definitely not going to be a part of the team moving forward, but that is also their choice.

I didn't think Brandon was leaving before the PC and I feel even more confident that he's not leaving anytime soon.

Littman and Mary Owen are gone on their own accord, according to Pegula.

Good. Marrone should be given the chance to show what he can do without EJ holding him back.

I'm actually a huge Orton fan. I always have been. He'd still be the man in Chicago if that Cutler/McDaniels feud never broke out in Denver...

If his ownership of the Sabres gives us any kind if example, then Brandon, Whaley and Marrone will be given the rest of this year and next year to prove their worth. I expect us to be very active in FA this offseason, especially since we're without a 1st. Let's hope Whaley spends better than Reiger did when Pegula opened the bank for him.

Up on WBBZ tonight, Bucky Gleason was wondering why Pegula wasn't getting peppered with questions in regards to how his experience with the Sabres would shape him now owning the Bills. My response on Twitter: "Will someone PLEASE zip (his) piehole? The Terry Pegula presser was to intro him as the new owner, not to play 20 Questions." Bucky's reply: "You do know the purpose of a news conference is to ask questions, right? He needed 50 questions, not 20." And MY reply: "There is a time to do that. An introductory news presser is NOT it. End of discussion."

As you might have guessed, I have little patience with stupidity.

How is an introductory PC not the place to ask questions? I'm confused about both your logic here. Its not like the question was meant to troll Pegula. It's a completely fair question.

Let's hope that what they spend it on makes sense and we just don't overpay to make a statement about how much we're willing to spend.

One more signing like Mario and I'm going to scream.

Mario has a lot of sacks and the d is significantly better. We also got a free agent in their prime. Not a bad signing

Noted-and Bucky kept pursuing that point in a further tweet sent to me-but I still hold that it wasn't the time to do it. If Pegs wants to hold another presser later on detailing his plans further, fine. Ask it then.

It was announced at his intro PC at the NFL Owners meeting that on Friday they were going to a hold more in depth PC in Buffalo. This was absolutely the time and place.
