Because the report is, from someone who asked them directly, that the job is permanent. 

 

Called stability.

Personally, I don't think it's a big deal. I  doubt she acts as much more than an overseer. She'll probably have guys like the ones Kirby mentioned running things, making the decisions, and reporting back to her.

I think that is what will happen, too. I do, however, think it would be better optics to hire someone who has the background. 

 

That said, since I am the pinko fag that I am, I also believe it may be a good thing to break down some some ceilings and have her be another female in a major position at an NFL team that opens the door for others who may be qualified in the future. There have been female owners before but it was always when their husbands died.

She could still do that when theyre ready. This happened fast, so of course they are going to put on the strong face and say "I got this, no problem, it'll be great!". And then find someone down the line.

Again it's been reported that the job is permanent.

Let’s hope Kim knows how to be a President of an NFL and NHL hockey team....at the same time.  Hopefully they are looking for replacements for the two positions  This could be the beginning of the end of it isn’t.  Beane and Botteril better be the truth

Under NFL and NHL bylaws can Kim Pegual be the president of BOTH the Bills AND the Sabres??

This is a great day for Buffalo

 

There is some justice to Russ' victims, yes, victims.  Make no mistake, what Russ did was sexual harassment.  The men who pull that **** deserve what they get, and, yes, justice is to be celebrated, even if it ruins his life.  He doesn't deserve our pity, his victims deserve our sympathy.

 

Secondarily, it rids these organizations of the so-called marketing genius, who self-promoted himself into football positions that led to crap decision after crap decision.  One of the most overrated executives in history, not to mention an arrogant prick.

 

And, please, can we stop the "how well respected he is in football circles" and "how he single handily saved the franchise from financial ruin" --- give me a !@#$ing break.

 

This is the same guy who was responsible for "selling" our home games to Toronto, imagine if that worked the way he wanted, we might be the Toronto Bills.  The same guy high fiving in the draft room after one of the worst draft day trades when we traded to draft Watkins.  The same guy who made sure the Pegulas "got their man", good ole Rex Ryan and his **** show.  The same who used a mid 1st round pick to draft EJ.  The same guy . . . fill in the blank, we can fill pages of his bad decisions.

Why is okay for Josh Allen to make racial and homophobic statements but it's not ok for Russ Brandon to hook up with a female employee? 

because Allen was 15 and Brandon is a grown man?

Only in different cities and one has to be under an assumed name.

Personally I’d rather have Kim than another steakhead football “lifer”. 

 

What’s the problem again? They have a actual honest-to-god GM now. Beane makes the football decisions.

Honestly, there's too many posts like Klaista2k, that it makes it hard to differentiate sarcasm and serious posts now. Had to do a double-take and re-read yours before I was sure you were joking...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...I think.

Taking on all that responsibility permanently is a VERY big decision to supposedly make in 24-48 hours.

 

So to me it seems like it is either an ill considered decision made suddenly in the heat of a crisis. 

Or it was planned and thought about for a good long while before this.

 

It is just rather unusual and sketchy to me.

In this case, because she is of Asian descent, yes.

I think we’re arguing about the wrong thing.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised if Russ was embezzling assets, or even stealing from the bills and sabres. 

 

Theres going to be a thorough internal investigation. He could go to jail if he embezzled a significant amount of cash. 

 

This dude was slime to the highest degree.

 

we all knew he was a snake oil salesman.

 

he took advantage of Ralph for crying out loud. 

Jailbird Russ would be EPIC! :lol:

Pretty slanderous stuff there.   Better add, "a lot of people say..." to be safe.

Russ Brandon v. GETTOTHE50 on Judge Judy.

My DVR is ready!

Seriously - how do they know she's not qualified? A (very) basic internet search tells a different story, where she was involved with Terry's company from 1991, up until they sold it in 2010. A 19-year career in the energy-business is nothing to laugh at.

 

Your not serious, are you?.  She had a PR job that even she admits Terry made up for her...

I’m glad Brandon is gone. He was responsible for drafting Aaron Maybin and other busts. When he took over as Bills CEO, he ranted and raved that the Bills brand was tarnished and he would leave no stone unturned in finding the right coach, then he was so infatuated with Marrone and immediately stopped the coaching search (Marrone was only the third person Brandon interviewed). Then he told the Pegula’s “Don’t let him [Rex Ryan] leave the building,” and we all know how Wrecks tenure with the Bills went. 

I’ll give him credit for helping orchestrate the sale of the Bills, keeping the Bills viable during the 17 year drought as well as game attendance figures. Otherwise, I’m glad he’s gone. Ralph had trust issues and put people in key positions in the organization that weren’t qualified, but were trusted by Ralph and the results on the field showed.

So you’re saying her job during those the entirety of those 19 years was made up? That she had no responsibilities during the entire tenure?
