Great insight. This is why I pay money to be a member here!!

Pegula's impact on the city should be considered in this as well. While not directly related to his/her ownership of the teams, it might be the most important accomplishment thus far.

I hear ya, but do you honestly think this has any impact on one's performance on the field? Pretty harmless comments from a pretty humble guy.

I love you Fear. Always thinking realistic. I mean, why hasn't this happened already?

I still don't think Hackett is/was to blame. Plus, Sammy's talking about positional coaches. If there's one guy I hope succeeds in the NFL, it's Hackett. What a crap situation.

This was just debunked, no agreement was close according to Wingo. But if it were true, wouldn't surprise me in the least. McCann is the man. Go to for sports/law info. He was great during the Hernandez case.

Agreed. The coverup is smashing the phone, most likely not the volume of the text messages.

True, but it would've happened anyways. Smart move by Park Ave. to try and keep it out of the Minnesota court.

I hope a federal judge is annoyed at this case and upholds the suspension because he/she's got better things to do!!!

But even then, are we presuming he would've had the power to oust those guys w/o Ralph's approval? It's interesting...and I'm curious to what extent Ralph was still involved in team affairs at this time. Other than TO, what has he done as a pure "publicity stunt" to sell tickets?

Pegula also publicly applauded Russ's roll in the last head coaching search. He's well thought of (except by TBD)...

I'll drink to that!!

For someone pointing out the lack of facts in this thread, there's a lot of speculation in this post as well. FWIW, I remember some reports indicating Russ would be in demand if he was let loose during the ownership change. His stature has grown outside of Buffalo, most likely as a result of him representing the franchise in a positive manner during league meetings. Good points. I actually liked the Sabres' "handbooks" they sent out to season ticket holders. Literally little booklets of hope.

I thought he tried to make himself available to the fans as much or more than any other exec in recent times. That's a plus in my book. What he was responsible for was those 3rd jerseys. I mean, that's a fireable offense!! I don't think any of this was arrogance. He gave as much as he got with the BN which is fine in my book.

I'm comparing RG3 to R.Wilson. Where the hell did Mark Sanchez come into the conversation?

When he learns to slide, he'll make it. See: Russel Wilson

Real solid. Great choice for anyone visiting training camp as it's close to SJF.

Sticky Lips perhaps. They're interchangeable to me.

This isn't really any different than a random party at a frat house in nearly any college across America. At least Shady checks IDs.

Food margins are pretty slim as-is. Any hike in wages is going to be passed directly on to the consumer.

This will be a good thread. If people think wing debates get contentious, wait til the BBQ folks chime in. FWIW, Dino and Sticky Lips are equal to me as far as Rochester is concerned. Both tasty, but definitely not as good as southern BBQ is concerned.

Noted. Go Bills! When does training camp start??

Well said.

I'm confused.

It might be, but I wouldn't discount the impact she's had on untold millions. And if you're upset about her relevance in the sporting world, Jim hasn't tossed a ball for almost two decades. He wouldn't even be in the conversation if he/his family hadn't chosen to publicize his fight with cancer. If you're going to complain, call it both ways.
