Mister Defense Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Not to pick a fight here....but you pointed out something without realizing it. It is not commonly done......so it is a matter of opinion of what would be right or wrong here. I agree-- it is my opinion, no doubt. But just because something is not commonly done does not make it wrong, and just because it has been done one way does not make that way the right way. The opinion of those arguing against my point seems to be: this is how it is done, therefore let it be. And then, the more absurd and disrespectful idea, that we don't owe Wilson anything. I disagree, think it diminishes the Bills, their history, and their legacy to replace the founder's name with a hat company's name. Ralph Wilson's name should still be the hallmark of the Buffalo Bills' stadium name. And the company would be so much better off doing so, associating their company's name and products with one of the most respected and important men in Buffalo New York's history.

So the statue wasn't enough? Pegula has done quite enough to pay tribute to Ralph Wilson.
nucci Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Those are some dope hats though. Agreed 100%, He payed 1.4 B for the team, and kept them in Buffalo, he can do what he wants with the naming rights. Fact of the matter is, Ralph should have sold the naming rights years ago. He told Brandon in 2012 to do so
wnyguy Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Who own da Ralph? Owns-uh, Owns-uh. Now that's funny. Can't remember where I heard that ?
mrags Posted August 19, 2016 Author Posted August 19, 2016 ROTFLMAO... we all begged Ralph to sell rights decades ago so we'd have money to sign more top players.. Not selling stadium rights was a typical dimwitted Ralph Wilson decision IMO We do not owe him a damn thing.. He still owes us about 25 competitive teams.. i can't stress how stupid people are in this thread that they can't understand I'm not mad at all about naming rights.
Andrew Son Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 i can't stress how stupid people are in this thread that they can't understand I'm not mad at all about naming rights. No, it obvious why your upset. Hats. HATS! HATS ON THE !@#$ING SIGN!!! It's atrocious
Mike in Horseheads Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Now that's funny. Can't remember where I heard that ? Slapshot. A classic line about who owns the Chiefs.
wnyguy Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Slapshot. A classic line about who owns the Chiefs. I was racking my brain trying to remember where that came from. Thank you kindly.

Gugny Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Dave Hanson's wife had a baby at the Glens Falls Hospital back in the late 70s/early 80s. My mom worked there at the time and got me an autographed Adirondack Red Wings puck. Hanson was going to bring a stick in for me, but they advised against it. I still have the puck.
mrags Posted August 19, 2016 Author Posted August 19, 2016 No, it obvious why your upset. Hats. HATS! HATS ON THE !@#$ING SIGN!!! It's atrociousaww, are you upset cause you couldn't figure it out at first?
TSOL Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I hope they make the new stadium LOOK like a big giant baseball cap.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I hope they make the new stadium LOOK like a big giant baseball cap.Mrags head will explode if the roof is an oversized Bills hat.
ricojes Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Mrags head will explode if the roof is an oversized Bills hat. This probably won't make him very happy either...
Malazan Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Mrags head will explode if the roof is an oversized Bills hat. Can we start a crowdfunding campaign to make this happen?
Best Player Available Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 This probably won't make him very happy either... That's weird why would they put Karlos Williams hat up there?
Andrew Son Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 This place would complain about the design of the bills Superbowl ring
Beef Jerky Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) That's weird why would they put Karlos Williams hat up there? He gets it back after 4 games. Edited August 19, 2016 by Beef Jerky
GottaRun Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) This place would complain about the design of the bills Superbowl ring After complaining that we weren't even good that year but the NFL rigged it for us to win in the interest of league parity. Edited August 19, 2016 by driddles
3rdand12 Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 perfectly said. I can agree with that. But i truly felt it must be a temporary display.
