Kirby Jackson Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 So was his boss but I don't like speaking ill of the departed.Ralph really wasn't involved at all for about the last 10 years of his life. Littman had final say on a financial decisions until RB got full control in 2013 (or whatever it was).
Green Lightning Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Why all the naysaying? Things are looking up with our new coach and QB - Mularky and Losman.
vorpma Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Never should have traded Lamonica. i had not thought of that trade in over a week, you had to bring it up! Littman was the problem for the past 20 years.
Manther Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I am disappointed. I though the headline was real. Well played

Heitz Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Buddy, (and apparently TBD since this hasn't been mentioned), asleep at the wheel!
Mr. WEO Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 His one significant accomplishment: finding a billionaire owner. His one significant failure: pimping out the Bills for the disastrous Toronto series. There rest of his impact?..."meh"

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 We should have drafted Gino Smith We should have drafted Russel Wilson
Mr. WEO Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 They have been in the to half of the league in nonshared revenue with no Fortune 500 companies. That is without question his biggest accomplishment. Couldn't find a link. Unshared revenue includes suites/luxury boxes, 60% of non-luxury seat ticket sales, advertising, sponsorships and pro shop revenue, local media, concessions and media. The Bills luxury sales are not astronomical, the ticket prices are near the bottom of the league, there is no waiting list for season tickets and games don't all sell out every year. Their sponsors are likely middle of the road. Where has Brandon impacted these areas?

The sponsorship dollars for the same assets that they get is insane. A lot of it is buried in random assets and promos. Part of it was the Toronto payments so take that for what it's worth. Without those numbers though Littman would have NEVER approved the level of spend over the last decade +. I am not saying that it was all spent well but I promise this is the root of it. FWIW, I'm told he is the closer. He makes it go with his nonstop sales culture. He is really well respected in sports. Edited June 14, 2015 by Kirby Jackson
