bills_red Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Bills owner Ralph Wilson downplayed a report that the team is interested in meeting with former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan. "I don't know anything about him," Wilson said, stopping short of an outright denial. http://www.rotoworld.com/ ------------------------------------ What!?!?!?!

Brandon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 That's roughly the equivalent of 'no comment'. People are making WAY too big of a deal of that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Maybe Ralph should put up a Billboard that says "I want Mike Shanahan as my head coach" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 It's nothing. Is Ralph expected to negotiate in public? PTR I don't know, I found that answer to be pretty odd. At face value, " I don't know anything about (Mike Shanahan) him" is a pretty bizarre reply. I suppose you are an expert at interpreting what Ralph Wilson means though. If your assessment of the situation is correct, isn't it still odd that Ralph would say that he doesn't know anything about a man he's negotiating with?

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 That's roughly the equivalent of 'no comment'. People are making WAY too big of a deal of that statement. Then why not just say... " I will not comment on candidates at this time"? Much easier, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Then why not just say... " I will not comment on candidates at this time"? Much easier, no? Yes, but given this was not a prepared statement, I can forgive the fact that it wasn't phrased particularly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortured Soul Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Do you mean like this... "Anybody that says I'm cheap is looking down the wrong side of the street," Wilson said. Did he misspeak on that one? I kinda like that phrase - doesn't make sense, but still gets the point across. Very Grampa Simpson-y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I think these quotes are being mis-represented on here with obvious intent. Yes, we're all annoyed by the team's wallowing, but taking the man's words and twisting them doesn't accomplish anything. Let's wait and see what happens.
