    Re: Ralph Wilson has died

    I understand and agree with what you're saying.

    But I hope it doesn't, for a little while anyway.

    Stay tuned, but I expect it to take quite a while before any new owner is approved.

    I doubt it affects things for this year.

    Sure hope it's someone with a connection to WNY, someone that wants to keep the team around long-term.

    It's true, we all knew this was coming, yet it felt like it would never happen. I hope to have a shred of the longevity Mr. Wilson had. RIP RW!

    Damn.... A sobering day. Thank you to Ralph and the whole Wilson family for Western New York football.
    True fans want wins, not draft picks.

    I've read before that the Bills could sit in a trust for up to 5 years and that it would likely be at least 2-3 years before a new owner was in place.

    I'm already tired thinking about all the rampant speculation and rumors that are going to engulf the Bills for the foreseeable future. It's going to be nauseating.

    Re: Ralph Wilson has died

    What a 1-2 punch this franchise is enduring. Quite possibly the two biggest names the Bills franchise has ever known dealing with mortality. Unbelievable the timing. Life can be stranger than fiction sometimes.

    Makes that lease out at year 7 a little more real now.

    Re: Ralph Wilson has died

    RIP Ralph. The Bills, and subsequently this board and gathering of Bills fans are, in part, here because of him.

    As a fellow board member I'd ask that we respect Ralph in this thread.

    Thanks.

    Rest in peace, Mr. Wilson. God bless his family and friends.


    There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
    Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
    The only answer I found for all this hurt
    Is there ain't not answer here on earth

    I was banned for calling Yardie a coward, by DB, in a tread about women’s issues happening right now in America. Nothing better than republican men silencing women’s voices, especially in the Buffalo Spin zone!!
