With that said, Bucky was extremely stupid with that take. What about the pettiness of the "journalists" who don't understand that with actions come repercussions? The Pegulas have to face up to whatever their franchises are on a daily basis. Who do Bucky and Sully have to answer to? 4
Rubes Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 47 minutes ago, Phil The Thrill said: I came across and interesting interview on Twitter with Bucky Gleason. In the interview he sounds good about a number of topics. Including the Buffalo News - he said that the new management from outside of Buffalo too over and didn’t understand Buffalo sports. He said they bought into the Twitter mob that said they were too negative. So when they took away his column, he knew it was time to leave. I always knew Bucky was a sharp one. 4
NewEra Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Those guys can choke on one. Good for terry. I’d have done the same. I’m glad that I can actually contribute my $ to the BN blitz now that they’re gone. Can’t imagine what their articles would look like this year.
Steptide Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Off topic, but today I was listening to a local talk show in Rochester. One of the hosts, who's a well known sports guy in Rochester, was talking about how the Pegulas, or Terry, are the reason for the whole Peterman debacle. Said a source close to the team said Terry was in love with Peterman and is the reason he started against the Chargers last year and then again at the beggining of this season. Also the reason he's still on this team. He didn't say the source, but said if he could say the source, we'd all know it was 100% credible. Anyways, it was pretty interesting. Don't know if any other Rochester folk here heard it 1

I would say the Pegula's have been more awful to the fans than Schopp & Bulldog have been to the Bills. 1

The Pegulas have to face up to whatever their franchises are on a daily basis. Who do Bucky and Sully have to answer to? Fair question. I honestly don't know where I come down with that. I'd like 'my' owners to accept critical press as part of the game and look past it. Just me. Then again...Bucky put a bullseye on his back w that take. One of the perks of ownership is getting to sit in those meetings and doing whatever the F you want.

Don't know if any other Rochester folk here heard it THAT would be very disappointing, so I’ll just hope it’s inaccurate in some way. That would concern me far more than the press passes. Hire your football people and let them do their job. I prefer to tell myself the Dennison version, which sounded possible, if not even likely. Edited November 9, 2018 by Augie 1
Foxx Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Bucky and Sully, two bitter old men who will be off the scene this time next year. the only reason they have any press at all is because they bemoan how they are viewed and a few of their fanboys post their drivel here.
Phil The Thrill Posted November 6, 2018 Author Posted November 6, 2018 Seriously though....fans are giving them crap for being negative. The stuff in this forum is far more negative and viscious than anything Bucky or Sully wrote. I think they were doing their job - and don’t feel they should be penalized for that
boater Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 This came down to a printing contract. The BN is the biggest printer in WNY and wanted the contract to print game day programs. Sources report "you want the program printing contract--get rid of Bucky and Sully." As told to me by Dunkirk Don during a a break from one of our meetings. 2 1

If the Pegulas believe the show hosts on WGR are unfair to their teams, I would think the broadcast rights might be awarded to a different entity besides Entercom at the next negotiations covering broadcast rights. I remember how Entercom pitched themselves as the 'voice of the fans' the last time they lost broadcast rights.

The Pegulas are such big players in town owning 2 sports franchises. They have direct influence over a WGR and indirect influence over the Buffalo news, television, or radio through all of the advertising they do. I hope that Bucky’s narrative isn’t right because I personally have always liked Terry and Kim. But if he is right, it’s not a very good look. 9 minutes ago, boater said: This came down to a printing contract.

Don't know if any other Rochester folk here heard it I don’t buy it...only because there are a number of reporters in town with a lot of access to players etc. None of the big players in town have reported this, so I don’t think this dude from Rochester is sitting on a major scoop and no one is reporting it
Saxum Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 They showed massive restraint in even allowing them into press conferences. As they proved when they left because they did not want to lose their columns they are columnists not journalists. 3
