Word I heard was that Danny became very close with Doug Flutie and his family (remember Flutie's Favorite Subs?). Danny then became disenchanted with Ralph in 2000, when Flutie was benched for the Tenny playoff game and pretty much the 2000 season. Danny vowed to have little or nothing to do with the team after that point. Again, this is all hearsay, but it is odd that Wegmans has little to do with the one entity that puts, and keeps, Buffalo on the map.
