    Gentleman Ralph lacks will to pay the Bills

    Interesting read....

    The following will be unpopular because Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson has long been such a class act in the NFL. He's been called the conscience of professional football and has always carried himself without the short-man syndrome of a Daniel Snyder or blatant kookiness of Al Davis.

    Yet these are the facts.
    The Bills, once one of the great turbines in the NFL, have devolved into a horrible joke. They haven't made the playoffs since 1999. After they miss the postseason this year, that'll be 10 straight years of no playoffs. Ten ... consecutive ... years. The organization is a mess. It can't draft, has been unable to find a franchise quarterback and is frighteningly cheap. The Bills have turned into the Baltimore Orioles.

    Since those high moments something's happened to Wilson. It's not age, it's bitterness. He's become so obsessed and angry over the small-market disadvantages that he's lost perspective and retreated into a spending shell, more consumed about potential ticket sales in Toronto than regaining the once flawless touchstone that was his temperament and judgment.
    Well put.

    And this guy probably doesn't even know about the period from 1967 to 1979.

    Just another Dude that thinks football wasn't around in WNY before 1986.

    Ralph was labeled as 'cheap' before Freeman was born.

    Comparing Wilson to Snyder is an epic fail.

    those were the years he was using the Bills as a tax writeoff.

    Ralph's feeling his age and WILL spend money. This is the last hurrah and we will see positive change. I believe that.

    It doesn't matter if he spends money he won't spend it in the right place. Article is spot on about the bitterness of the small market. Heck, he keeps telling us that himself. He's just not happy that his 20K investment is only worth a billion these days I guess. Anyone considering RW the conscience of the NFL is an idiot anyway. This team got lucky once in his entire tenure as owner the rest of the time it's been complete mediocrity or utter failure.
