Prickly Pete Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I really don't think a petition is needed, there will be some kind of dedication on the uniform.

I HATE the Toronto media. http://www.thestar.c...onto_kelly.html CBF I read it last night and found it to be inaccurate in some spots and tasteless in others. There is truth that some thought of Ralph as being a cheapskate. And there is truth he wasn't universally loved in Buffalo or by Bills fans. Perhaps if Cathel Kelly waited a few days it wouldn't have seemed so... harsh.

Campy Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 @ChrisBrownBills Packers Pres. & CEO on Wilson’s vision http://wp.me/plmrg-9RU He also was a friend of the Packers, a fellow small-market team, as the league evolved its business operations to ensure all teams had firm financial footing to achieve competitive balance on the field. The success of the league is a lasting testament to Ralph’s vision. “On a personal note, as a life-long Bills fan, I have a great appreciation for all he did for the Bills and the Western New York community over the years.” Nice tribute by Mark Murphy.
Like A Mofo Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 By the way, Cathal Kelly from the Toronto Sun is a certified, Grad A PUNK. He wrote something slamming the city of Buffalo and the Sabres earlier this year as well: http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/2013/09/23/buffalos_not_important_enough_to_hate_kelly.html

I HATE the Toronto media. http://www.thestar.c...onto_kelly.html CBF I found it hilarious. There's something about an article complaining about a dead man's megalomania in "naming a stadium after himself" (point of note: the county named it after him; he wanted "Buffalo Bills Stadium") then following it with the observation that the start of the "New NFL" will be with Bon Jovi bringing the Bills to Toronto that is richly ironic. I really don't think a petition is needed, there will be some kind of dedication on the uniform. I would not be surprised if the entire league did so.

CFLstyle Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Yes, the Toronto media is a joke. I live in Toronto and work in this field and some of the mainstream sports reporters are embarrassing.
billsfan89 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 RIP Ralph, you kept the team in Buffalo and you built the team in Buffalo. Sad day, but the guy lived a long and fruitful life. Still a disappointment to see him no longer with us.
Chef Jim Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) With all that's been going on I've been watching a lot of Youtube Bills stuff and found this. You don't have to watch it all just the snip with Talley at the 1:29 mark. 60 minutes baby! We told you we'd take it 60. Edited March 27, 2014 by Chef Jim
Chandler#81 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Have funeral arrangements been made public? Any chance Buffalo is included in them?
machine gun kelly Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I agree. He was very tasteless and I find it convienient that there is no comments section on the site CBF How they could write this up a day after his death even before the funeral is disgusting. It was riddled with inaccuracies, and if you read the Buff News this morning, there is a good article on taxes. It makes complete sense he was trying to evade estate and capital gains taxes. BTW - Thank Obama who raised capital gains again after the previous admin lowered as they were excessive. Since in trust there could be direction from Ralph that would be kept confidential. It is possible as he really did love this city and team. It's possible he placed in his trust that any new owner who keeps the team in Buffalo would get the first shot at the team. Then the bidding starts. It's really up to Wilson's family if they would for example take 950 mil from a Pegula or Golisano, vs. the AEG owner in LA who offers 1 bil. Would the Wilson take a little less, not a ton to keep it in Buffalo as that is what are Wilson's wishes. We'll see. Can this provide leverage and pressure to NY to now help build a stadium. If NYS can peruade Goodell they'll do it but with a 20 year deal to keep the Bills in Buffalo. We'll see as I know I'm having a wishful thinking moment.
