Who is Mark Clayton and how does he know this info? Isn't he a WR on the Rams or the WR who used to play on the Dolphins?

 

I get confused too. This is the WR from the Rams who previously played for the Ravens.

I'll never understand why some people spend every day at TBD complaining about the Bills. We get it. They suck. The owner sucks. The front office sucks. We got the message the first 5,000 posts.

Otherwise this board would not have lasted 11 years and 12,000 of your endearing posts :rolleyes:

Excellent Summary

 

 

Excellent summary by Jason Cole of the critical nature of the week ahead....who'd of thunk Ralph would be grouped with Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder...

He's only lumped-in with them because he's a "hardliner" for the small market teams. And it's no surprise that the owners didn't give Goodell as much power as they gave Taglaiboob, considering that lousy 2006 CBA.

That is a fascinating question that gets to the heart of how little the owners trust the man they elected to follow Paul Tagliabue, the guy who has taken much of the blame for the 2006 deal that owners quickly came to hate.

This CBA will determine the fate of the Bills in the post Wilson Era. If it's friendly to small market teams than the Bills have a chance to stay here. If the deal is very punitive to small market teams than they are lame ducks. The extent to which revenue is shared is critical. The problem is that corporations are the customers now and WNY lacks large corporate customers. There is no way to change that in a hurry the distribution of revenue and the amount of cash each team has to spend on compensation as mandated by the league will be the central issues. Either way the handwriting will be on the wall.

The average fan is a second class customer in this situation.

It's been on the wall. New York State ranks 50th in business climate...

BOTH parties are to blame in NYS. Political motives, public employee unions, entitlements, handouts, choking taxation on both businesses and private citizens are what have done in this once great state and eventually will be the undoing of the Bills prospects of staying in Buffalo. Really, the only ones who are to blame are the majorities of people (NYC residents?) in the state who kept rewarding the politicians responsible for decades of policies which eventually drove out all the businesses and people...

I feel sorry for the city of Buffalo. Hopefully Ralph will be around a lot longer that people think and this AEG group eventually finds another team to buy, which would buy time for the western new york region to find that ever elusive economic turnaround like Pittsburgh's.
