FluffHead Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I hope terry is dancing around on his boat after some O line improvements soon
YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Dang Yolo you are on fire! Thanks.Lol way too much news today. Carucci can't stop, won't stop.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Holy cow-- what a great article! Pegula really is the man.
eball Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Excellent read, love the comments from El Petulante.
fansince88 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Sitting in the hot tub together! Need I say more? That made me LOL!
Mark80 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 We have one of the best owners in the league right now. Super rich and willing to spend it, doesn't run the team like a dictator, has input on all decisions but is willing to listen and defer to others opinions when it makes sense, humble and down to earth, emotional, and doesn't need or want to be the face of our franchise to feed his ego. Not to mention what he has done and is doing for the city as a whole. To say we got lucky that he bought the Bills and the Sabres is a huge understatement. Thanks Terry and Kim, we are stoked!
PromoTheRobot Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Surprised there is so little say about Koelmel leaving Harborcenter. Edited March 25, 2015 by PromoTheRobot
TaskerTough Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Terry is clearly a chiller... The part about him sharing a cry with Percy? My word.
BillsFanM.D. Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 We are so lucky to have them as owners. Calling them 'ideal' doesn't do them justice.
YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Terry is clearly a chiller... The part about him sharing a cry with Percy? My word. the Pegulas seem to really wrap their arms around players in a family atmosphere. In the nfl that's not very common, it can feel very cold. I think some of the guys "on the edge" who have had off field issues like harvin and incognito feel like they will have the support to get things back on track. At the same time I think the team has made business decisions that may not have been easy, like trading fan favorite Kiko and cutting a real team/community guy like Chandler. So there seems to be a good balance. The Fred situation is an interesting case. I don't see a reason to cut him this year, at least not yet. But I wouldn't expect them to offer him another contract next year if he still wants to play.
stevewin Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) If you didn't love Pegula before not sure how you can't after reading this article. Rex has made multiple comments about what a great owner he is, and how he is all about building a true 'team' from the top to bottom, and how important the community is in that process. So many good excerpts from that article. Amazing what a personal bond he seems intent to make with people in the organization “I told Percy, ‘This isn’t about football; this is about you as a person. And I’m here, Rex is here, Greg Roman, all of us … we’re here to help you beyond football,’ ” Pegula said. Pegula said Harvin became teary-eyed during their conversation, and the owner, who is known to wear his emotions on his sleeve, also became emotional. “I talked with him for quite a while,” Pegula said. “He’s a good talent and he’s part of the family now. He’s definitely a good person. He needs people to support him; we all do. And we’re going to support him.” Edited March 25, 2015 by stevewin
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) One of the best articles I have ever read. I am so fracking thankfull for fracking! LOL at the thought of all the Bills coaches in a hot tub together having meetings CBF Edited March 25, 2015 by Canadian Bills Fan
Chuck Wagon Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Really seems Terry just gets it. He's involved, he lets the players know how he feels, but he's not like Haslam or Snyder who are going to force moves out of concern for the bottom line or misguided belief they know more than their GM. I could never imagine Terry whooping it up after the draft because they took the flashy QB and tell stories about how a homeless guy told him that's the pick.
4BillsintheBurgh Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Implying maybe it wasn't like that when he took over... “What I quickly realized was that these guys like each other and they get along with each other,” Pegula said Tuesday while here for the NFL meeting that concludes Wednesday. “It was a lot of fun, actually.”
Kelly the Dog Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 A lot of players and coaches thank and single out how great the owners are when they sign contracts that play them a lot of money or give them good jobs. But every single player and coach seems to go out of their way to praise El Petulante and Kim Petulante for sincerity and being genuine good people. I agree with Yolo. I bet it sticks out because they are used to dealing with different kinds of billionaires, who can be distant, cold, aloof, self-centered, etc.
