CosmicBills Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Bill Polian selected as the 28th member of the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame. ...Wow. Never thought I'd see it. Edit: Here's a link Edited May 13, 2012 by tgreg99
eball Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Wow, Ralph is really trying to get rid of all the bad mojo around One Bills Drive, isn't he? What's next, Lou Saban? Great decision to honor Polian on the WoF.
Tipster19 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Rightfully so. Buffalo really is coming full circle. Btw, here's a slogan that I've been kicking around and I think that it may be appropriate for this year. It's " Have you Herd, the stampede is on! Go Buffalo!".
PromoTheRobot Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Gotta do Cookie. It's late but you gotta do Cookie. PTR

Btw, here's a slogan that I've been kicking around and I think that it may be appropriate for this year. It's " Have you Herd, the stampede is on! Go Buffalo!". Not a bad idea. Gotta do Cookie. It's late but you gotta do Cookie. PTR Long overdue. Sounds like Wilson wanted to do this for a while, but felt it was better to wait until he was not with the Colts anymore.
Lurker Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Gotta do Cookie. Yes, that would be a real curse breaker...
Chandler#81 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Congratulations, Wild Bill! Bills Nation say Thank You!
Bruce Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Which begs the question...what is all of this reported friction between Wilson and Polian? Polian, in his interview about winning the spot on the Wall, has nothing but praise and thanks and friendship to speak of when mentioning Wilson. He also speaks highly of Buffalo as a city where his children grew up. Listening to the interview, I can only think that all of these Buffalo Snooze reports about issues between Wilson and Polian are...well, baloney.
papazoid Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 WELL DESERVED !! .....congrats and thank you bill polian.

As they say, familiarity breeds contempt and absence makes the heart grow fonder. Congrats to BP, it's well deserved for the caliber of work he did during his time there. Those were truly special teams. Edited May 13, 2012 by UConn James
Tipster19 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Not only is this honor is long overdue and well deserved but the timing is perfect. I don't know what unfolded over there in Indianapolis but Bill Polian is ours long before that dork Jim Irsay and the Colts. It's time to bring Bill back home where he belongs.
WhiteCat Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Gotta do Cookie. It's late but you gotta do Cookie. PTR Yes, it's time for Cookie, and his coach also. Lou Saban, greatest coach in Bills history. I know Lou was stubborn, and a gypsy, but he reminds me of Bill Parcells. Guy was a winner.
Phil Hansen Forever Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Yes, that would be a real curse breaker... What about Lou Saban? The only coach to win a championship, twice!

He also speaks highly of Buffalo as a city where his children grew up. Listening to the interview, I can only think that all of these Buffalo Snooze reports about issues between Wilson and Polian are...well, baloney. Fighting constantly with Jeff Littman and being brusk with the front office staff (including Linda Bogdan, Ralph's daughter) probably sealed Polian's fate, since Ralph's always been big on "everone getting along." He let Bill announce his own "restructuring" in 1993, as it was probably a painful decision for Ralph. I don't think there was ever any personal animosity between them (unlike with Ralph's ire with Saban)

Listening to the interview, I can only think that all of these Buffalo Snooze reports about issues between Wilson and Polian are...well, baloney. Besides what Lurker posted, I thought I heard that both men had publicly buried the hatchet long ago. Over the years at league meetings (before Ralph stopped attending) it was noted that they would greet each other warmly. Ralph also made peace with John Butler before Butler passed away.
