Meathead Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 people hear what they want to hear but i think terrys attitude is that the buffalo media are pieces of **** and i dont need to respond the way they want me to, or to the horseshit they shovel when i dont i certainly can see why the pegulas would love to give the double bird to the media, i sure would, heck i already do and i dont own crap. but i think for the sake of the team they should try a little harder to feed the sharks a little before they go into full frenzy mode

I thought both sides well and it should put alot of questions to bed, unless the media can't put their pitchforks down.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 did u read the article? I thought both sides well and it should put alot of questions to bed, unless the media can't put their pitchforks down. I don't think that last is a question. The media can't put their pitchforks down.
Rico Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/01/12/terry-pegula-accusations-bills-dysfunctional-consider-insult/ Buffalo Bills co-owner Terry Pegula will introduce new coach Sean McDermott on Friday afternoon and then step aside. Pegula will take no questions. Neither will his wife, Bills co-owner Kim Pegula. That's how they prefer it. Thanks! Spectacular job by TG asking ALL the right questions!
jeffismagic Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I really like the Pegulas and they have done a great job in developing downtown. I think their vast wealth insulates them a bit and makes them much more sensitive than their fans. They are not used to people, prior to owning these teams, talking back to them.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Didn't he already do that in his AP interview with JW? Old news by now. Next! No. Please do it again so if he says one word differently they can claim dysfunction. Edited January 13, 2017 by PromoTheRobot
OhDozeBills Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 All I have to say is if it wasn't for the Pegulas, we wouldn't have a team. They are hands on owners because they truly care and want nothing more than to bring a winner to Buffalo. They're doing the absolute best job they can and fully admit that they've made some mistakes but will learn from them. It's not like they've been cheap owners and aren't providing all the financial resources either. You can argue that some of the money hasn't been well spent, but they are certainly giving it their best shot. I never understand all the criticism they get. They've basically saved the city and feel they deserve more respect than they get from the fans and media.
dave mcbride Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 TP -- on a personal level, he comes across as not likable. KP: she comes across as likable, more or less.

iinii Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 My interpretation is that individually, and collectively, the Pegulas genuinely don't care for the press, aren't comfortable in front of the camera, and yet have a great desire to be liked and seen as the good guys. Those two things are very hard to simultaneously pull off.Better get used to it. It comes with the territory and in today's news cycle the excrement is always flying and the fan keeps on spinning.

What a Tuel Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Whenever I read posts like yours, I think of this guy: All hail the mighty leader! It is solely because of the Pegula's that they are in Buffalo and will remain in Buffalo for the next few decades at least. 3 teams are likely moving in this time. THREE! Buffalo would surely have been one if anyone else had bought them. But besides that, they decided that they love the area so much that they are going to invest deep into it and try to improve the area. So they are to be thanked on so many different levels. But yeah, they didn't win the Superbowl in 2-3 years so them right. Edited January 13, 2017 by What a Tuel
nucci Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks! Spectacular job by TG asking ALL the right questions! Spectacular? The few of you on here who hate everything are kinda funny
Chandler#81 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 The Buffalo press insults me as well. Hacks!
eball Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Smart move by the Pegulas in advance of todays PC. Now the media is on full advance notice the Pegulas won't be answering questions, and they have a variety of answers to the questions they were whining about since Whaley's dubious PC. Now, hopefully, the focus can be on McDermott and what he plans to bring to the table -- not "can you work with Doug Whaley?" or any of that nonsense. Edited January 13, 2017 by eball
May Day 10 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 I'm curious as to how people are thinking they came off well here. The guy offers no explanations to the fans about key decisions that we spend hours/days/weeks/months debating here and elsewhere. And sounds like a dismissive ass while doing so. I totally understand that he has no obligation to divulge anything and I suppose many of you are okay with that. But as a fan it would be nice to hear him, however subtly, own up to the Rex disaster (which is 100% on him) or at the very least, not blatantly lie that he has no idea how the Bills came off looking the past few weeks. I'm as thankful as anyone that he kept the Bills in Buffalo, and I don't even live there. But just having a team isn't good enough. He made an arm chopping motiin when he said russ brandon was business side only. Oh yeah... but then listed many scenarios that he would be involved... and how important it is that everyone needs to be involved in everything.

Oh yeah... but then listed many scenarios that he would be involved... and how important it is that everyone needs to be involved in everything. Dude seriously. In what business....not just a sport, any business.....is the primary guy in charge of selling the product purposely completely isolated from the guys developing the product? That's just dumb. Does the guy at Microsoft know what products are on the horizon and why? Does that mean he chose them or developed them? Champion wrestlers are usually not good targets for taking out your anger on, but may handle it in different ways. Edited January 13, 2017 by 4merper4mer
Coach Tuesday Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 The only answer I took issue with was about the QB situation being "their business." Way too defensive for a pretty basic NFL question. I was fine with everything else and Graham did his job.
John Gianelli Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 It is solely because of the Pegula's that they are in Buffalo and will remain in Buffalo for the next few decades at least. 3 teams are likely moving in this time. THREE! Buffalo would surely have been one if anyone else had bought them.

But yeah, they didn't win the Superbowl in 2-3 years so them right. After reading about how much Spanos will profit for moving from SD to LA, even if they play in front of just 30,000, it's a certainty that any owner without extreme loyalty to Buffalo would have moved the Bills in a flash. While I cringe sometimes at what Terry Pegula says, we have to acknowledge that he turned down hundreds of millions of dollars by keeping the team here. He deserves some credit for that. I am probably in the majority by also thinking that if/when the day comes that the Pegulas are no longer willing to turn down those hundreds of millions, I will say bye bye not just to the relocated franchise, but to the NFL.
Maury Ballstein Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Pegs is the billion dollar man. Some of you sound like angry peasants.
Helpmenow Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Hey Terry it's tough being an owner with two franchises that don't win. Did you think we all would love you still.
