There is everyone else in the world you can “play” with. ALMOST the entire popultion of the planet! This is horrible judgement and it makes me seriously question the man. The scrapes and bruises he faces includes the loss of a 7 figure job and public shame to go with a discredited professional reputation.  Ooops! 

 

I had a guy who worked for me at a bank, who I sighted several times with a young lady who reported to him. I gently let him know I had noticed, and she found work at another bank. There are very good reasons this is not appropriate behavior, many of which have been cited above. (They are still happily married about 25 years later :))

The problem with guys like Brandon is that it’s one thing to have your example (which obviously is bad news), but it’s another for a married dude to be sleeping around with those who report to him. It’s not like he’s searching for the love of his life, it’s obviously not going to turn out good. These guys are idiots.

"I won't dignify that with a comment" says Brandon.

 

Sounds like the dude is in denial.  

 

At least Charlie Rose came clean the night he got canned...saying he made some sexual advances he thought would be well received but he realized he was wrong.

EDIT: I posted this before there were any details added to the headline and original post. Obviously this gif refers to the results of him being out and not the circumstances of why he’s out. 

Well isn't this just a kick in the pants !
So many will be pleased that house has been cleansed after all this time. But who will sell all those tickets ? and be greatly respected within the industry so well as Dear Ole Russ ?

 Great Python animation btw.

Thanks for the chuckle and  inspiring  a knowing grin from me.

Listening to WGR with Bulldog hearing from people who say that there will be much more coming out about this.  People he's hearing from are not surprised by this despite Brandon's response to Benigni.

PS:  Please find a new President(s) for each or both teams ASAP.

 

Kim Pegula can't keep this gig for anything longer than an emergency, interim period.

Hard to believe that both Ralph and the Pegula’s were duped by this clown.

I'm sure there are many people who arent surprised by this.  I feel sorry for his family.   Don't think Training Camp at Fisher will extend past the current deal 2021?

I'm kind of hoping that a new marketing person might bring some new advertisers to the camp as the last few years it's gotten worse and worse.

Fisher was/is successful for the Bills.

 

I don't see that changing because an alumnus was fired.

Don't necessarily disagree with you, but who knows what is attributable directly to Brandon pushing/fighting for it, or not.


Some things might change.

I’m not going to comment too much on the subject but figured I’d say my piece. I like Russ. I’ve always liked Russ. He gave his heart and soul to that organization and OFTEN took misguided bullets without complaint. He didn’t mind being the fall guy as long as the franchise was in a good place. He was a good and loyal solider that was incredibly gifted as a sports executive. His reputation around sports is strong.

 

On a personal level, I like Russ. He was always good to me. He could chop it up with Fortune 500 CEO’s as well as the janitorial staff. Everyone liked Russ and he was a great leader.

 

With that being said this was always going to be his eventual downfall. There are many a story that I’m not going to disclose that were pretty serious. This isn’t the first time that he came under fire for something like this. I actually think that the first time was much worse. In this climate though you just can’t be doing that. This will likely get uglier before it gets prettier. I’d expect the Stormy Daniels approach to roll through at some point. Hopefully for everyone though they move on and nobody is hurt further.

You must be one ugly MFer, my friend....

I have also always thought Russ got a bad rap for his role in the Bills fortunes. 

 

But I have no sympathy if he is a) guilty of the behaviour he is accused of and furthermore b) has lied about it.
