JW speaks with Buddy
Delete This Account replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
hey folks: took the weekend off and headed out of town, and just catching up on some reading. Buddy didn't have a news conference per se. after hearing what Buddy had said on the radio earlier that day, Mark Gaughan and I requested to speak to Buddy after practice and the Bills obliged. jw -
ahem. ... let's get the record straight here, Mr. Ball. i was at Hammers Lot for half hour, but was told that you sir had joined your better half to shop for trinkets at the sale tents down the road. ... understand you had to compete your collection of Billy Buffalo keychains and bracelets. ... jw

i've ignored so many people, i didn't even know they're gone. ... beerball's still around? damn. jw

i hate nickleback because they suck, providing predictable homogenized pap that pretends to be rock and roll. it's muzak for the soul that has nothing to do with what rock stands for, and everything to do with what corporations think rock should stand for. popularity has nothing to do with it. they sucked when i told them they sucked after they begged for an encore in some dingy Vancouver bar near the airport in the mid-1990s, and they still suck. jw -

see, bubba, here's your problem the way i see it. you could very well be right, but what does that win you. it's not as if the franchise's demise in Buffalo is going to lead many here on this board to sit back and fondly remember how you were correct all along. you peddle this one-verse negative rant so much and so often as if to make it out to be as something new, or something no one here has ever considered. hate to break it to you, but this is a topic that's been well-covered and hand-wringed over and over and over again. this isn't a revelation in the least. it's instead a crooked stick you poke at a well-worn wound. it's not news to Bills fans that they could lose their team. and i don't see the purpose you have in reminding us in the media that there's a possibility we might have to relocate. this is something i've known since i first arrived here in 2000. the fact that you seem to take great pleasure in constantly pointing this out, seems odd, misplaced and a little disturbing. so why keep it up with this one-man-rant of gloom. aren't winters here long enough without you having to remind us? so aside from you having difficulty separating what's fact and opinion, i would suggest that you are poser and pimp -- good word, Kevin. rather than calling yourself a beacon of clarity, you are instead a clarion of doom, and where's the fun in that? jw -

Carthage snuck out victory over Sardis on questionable TD on Ben Hurr plunge, as sudden fog over Coliseum shrouded sundial, thus rendering it inneffective. and remember, this was before automatic replay review in final 2 minutes. jw as for Lions/Christians, league investigated Lions in first bounty scandal. -

nope, wrong again. not gonna agree on that. again, you're confusing what you call "fact" with "opinion." that is your opinion. it is not a fact. and while some may agree with you, not all will. all in all, it's my opinion that this has proven to be a bad thread for you. might be a faulty wire in your beacon, or might i ask, if it's screwed on a little too tightly? jw -

quit obfuscating. the point i made was questioning your assertion that Russ Brandon was wrong in regards to the team having difficulty selling out December games in the 1990s. i provided plenty of details explaining how you were wrong. you then came back and said it was something to do with turnstiles vs. tickets sold. i then presented a point in which indicated you were wrong yet again. you came back and agreed with me, and then somehow said i was wrong. i thus, rest my case, and thus dub the: Purveyor of Baloney. jw -

what the? you're confusing what you pretend in having a point with reality. whether or not the game was televised has nothing to do with this discussion and you're wrong assertion that Russ Brandon is fudging when saying the Bills had difficulty selling games out in December in the 1990s. take a look at the numbers, listed either in the Bills media guide or on the NFL website. and you're wrong when suggesting its tickets sold vs. turnstiles. you might recall a certain season finale against the Colts, played in horrendous conditions to close the 2009 season. there were about 25,000 fans in the stadium for that game. and yet the attendance is listed as 69,848. you have no case. you're full of baloney. jw -

bubba, i've got the numbers right here in front of me. you realize they played the Raiders twice in the playoffs, right? one was a sellout, the other was not. as for the 200 finale, well, there was no football played here or anywhere else that we know of. however, if you're referring to the 1999 season finale, only 61,959 showed up for that one. if you're referring to the 2000 season finale, well, only 47,230 showed up to that one. you're' wrong. fully, entirely, absolutely, completely and mistakenly, off the mark, utterly dead wrong. jw -

wrong. the numbers are the numbers. check out the december numbers. there's several 45,000 attendances in there. look at the numbers, not wikipedia. check and see how there were 61,900 for the Bills division playoff against the Raiders in 1994. or 56,000 showed up to the season finale the following season, a combined total of 89,000 showed up for the Bills final two home games of the 1997 season. 62,000 showed up for the 1999 season finale. or explain to me how only 70,000 -- a nonsellout -- showed up to what proved to be Jim Kelly's final game. say what you will about 70,000 not being a sellout, and how it would be today, but Western New York is a far smaller place than it was 15 years ago. the numbers are the numbers. you raised the point first by accusing Russ Brandon of being wrong when saying about 55 percent of the Bills home games in Decmeber in the 1990s were not sellouts. he's correct in saying that. you are wrong for suggesting different. beacon of clarity, my butt. baloney's more like it. jw -

hey, who's giving out the monikers? i didn't know we could do that? if what's his name gets "beacon of clarity," can we get some fancy nicknames, too like: "flashlight of futility." "lightbulb of lucidity." "candle of catastrophe." "kerosene lamp of laughter." "inkstain of ineptitude." "spotlight of substance." "burning match of fire." "sun of a gun." feel free to use. jw -

i'll stand by what i write and wrote, particularly when taking into account the context of this thread. take potshots all you want, call me a blowhard because there's no doubt i can be one. trouble i have is doing so in the context of this thread, when it's been made clear that Jerry was away dealing with a personal matter. ... i'm sure there are far more threads that can be started -- and have been started -- to take issue with me, Jerry or anyone else. jw -
in a bid to provide perspective, so not to fan the flames one way or another, there is nothing new here. Tom Golisano simply repeated what he's said numerous times, and the fact that his comments were included in yet another press release and posted on video simply shows that WBBZ is covering stories that have been covered. as so-called 'exclusives' go, this is well, repetitive at best, much like what they got out of their interview out of Jim Kelly. jw please note the words: "not a commitment."

speaking of condescending blowhards, i see no real reason to take your advice, to take you seriously or treat you with any iota of respect, given the lack of respect you have for others. to start off issuing your deepest sympathies and then follow with a putdown is yet again shameless, because it's quite evident your deepest sympathies mean squat, that you're just speaking out of one corner of your mouth while farting out the other side. so go advise yourself when it comes to treating people with respect, rather than making obtuse attempts at humor in a thread where there is no room for it. grow up. jw -

As has been noted here in this thread, Jerry is dealing with a family illness and you consider this a time to pile on with some cliched drivel. That's lower than low. Evidently, you have no shame. jw
