Exactly and I agree with @Gugny the Bill didn't sell millions of dollars of tickets because of a screaming moron in a ad

The Bills have streamed that video millions of times this year. His clip certainly had value, or why else would they have chosen to use it in the 30 secs they dedicated to advertising?

 

I'm really interested in finding out how they aquired it, and if Mark had signed his rights away. If he did, he has no ground to stand on. But if he didn't sign his rights away to the original news broadcast, then he's entitled to a usage fee. And believe me, the fee is always way higher after it's been viewed by a mass market.

I’m thinking of Tony Soprano, sitting at a sidewalk table in front of Satriale’s Pork Store with Paulie Walnuts and Ralph.  I see agita and bile, rising inside him.  “You’re gonna let ‘em use your face and you’re gonna give him two sideline tickets”.

Why are so you interested how they acquired it? And its Marc not Mark

Wheres Garys rights in this? Did Marc get a release from him? If I'm Gary I'm going on twitter to say how disappointing it is and want a cut from Marc's shirts

I'm surprised the Bills used the clip.  I don't think the guy has any legal or financial standing here, but I thought the Bills were heading in a classier direction, trying to reign in the table smashing and other foolish, drunken tailgating behavior.

 

To use that clip as a ticket-sales promo is saying,  "We approve of and condone some drunken turd-head getting all turd-faced and acting like a complete idiot."

 

JMHO

You know what's funny, the name of the show Marc was featured on was called "George Michael's Sports Machine." I think Marc misspoke and called him Gary instead of George.

 

And I'm personally interested in it because i work in advertising / video production. I see what people get paid to appear in ads, and I license video clips all the time... How much do you think the Bills paid their ad firm to produce that commercial?

I know this is a little off topic, but I have to ask ... What's your price for flight?

Looks like it took a solid 3rd round pick.

It's weird to me that people are against this. 

 

Companies are using his likeness to promote their brand, without his permission. It's an open and shut case IMO. They're using him for their personal gain. 

 

There's nothing wrong in wanting to be properly compensated. Is there a tint of jealousy here somewhere? Is it because he's a working/middle class guy like most people here, trying to make some money? He already gave so much in that interview, and has brought so much joy to anybody watching it. What does it say about the city of good neighbors when they want to take, but don't want to see something given back? Are you afraid he's going to make more money than you?

 

Weird, weird, weird.

Supposedly the guy does not drink, and was not drunk at the time. And I can buy that. Millions of sports fans don't need alcohol or drugs to act like this guy did. Also, you insulting him really doesn't say a lot for YOU.

Possible answer: Most Bills' fans are dumb, just like most Bills' players are dumb? LOL

clearly you've never seen a fucillo commercial and that guy seems to be killing it

Down in Florida he does. Stopped running ads up here - dealerships are barely scraping by in WNY

I agree with this completely.   And McBeane are not about bright, shiny objects.  They a process and they'll stick to it.  They've been patient so far, and they can see that what they're doing is workng. 

 

The talent they have today will improve.  The talent they draft and sign in free agency will increase the competition and improve the team more.  Allen will have learned more about playing big games - Pittsburgh wasn't too big for him, but Baltimore and New England were.  

 

Step by step.  

 

And that's not to say that they're done for this season.  They're already good enough that, although it's unlikely, multiple playoff wins this season are possible.
