Interesting read about the NFL labor problems arising. Ralph Wilson is mentioned a bunch of times:
Don't try telling that to Wilson, who has sounded a cautionary clarion call, and bristles when some of the big-money owners suggest they work harder than he does and that they market their teams more efficiently. Wilson presides over a Rust Belt team in a city with a declining population, has to market the Bills to Western New York and Canada to help fill his stadium, and argues he doesn't have as many moneymaking opportunities.
"When it comes to those revenue streams, Wilson suggested in a recent interview with the Buffalo News, that the high-revenue franchises are moving along swimmingly while clubs like the Bills are barely treading water.
"They want to knock us down and have us get up at the count of nine, so they can have another fight and knock us down again," Wilson said.
Also, a little Henry tidbit:
"The chances of tailback Eddie George returning to Tennessee, to serve as backup to Chris Brown, are growing increasingly remote. There has been little contact between the Titans and George of late, as Tennessee, despite some denials, has focused its attention on acquiring Travis Henry from Buffalo in a trade."
