firstngoal Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I totally agree with him, a fresh start? my arss! It couldn't be any further away! There is NO FUTURE in Marv and MM! None...Nota!! His penny pinching ways will keep this franchise below mediocrity for the next few years. And the sad part is Ralph doesn't even realize it!!

But you can always get a certain demongraphic to side with negativity. Thats why he and the kiddies over at WGR have jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVJ Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Were screwed . Ralph is out of touch. Or just touched. I think Sullivan has company.

Golden Wheels Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 "DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER" From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman: "Don't shoot the messenger. Don't blame the person who brings bad news. This idea was expressed by Sophocles as far back as 442 B.C. and much later by Shakespeare in 'Henry IV, Part II' (1598) and in 'Antony and Cleopatra' (1606-07) The word kill may be used as a substitute for 'shoot.'" Related saying: "Don't shoot the piano-player; he's doing the best he can. Don't hurt innocent people. Originated in the United States in the Wild West, around 1860. http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/3/messages/520.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
respk Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I figured I would turn on WGR this morning to here Simon hold intelligent conversation about what took place yesterday. Sadly it appears Simon has fallen to the depths of the Dope and the poodle. All I heard for 20 minutes as how old Ralph is and how old Marv is and how at that age they can do little more than wet themselves and due to their age they have no idea how to run a football team. Man was I dissappointed. Howard say it isn't so!!!!! You've succumbed to the mindless type of babble that the dope and the poodle are the poster boys for!!!!! I'm not a big fan of those guys on GR but think about it, IF we had a decent Football team it would be much harder for those guys to remain negative.However, if it sucks it sucks!

When the player toldthe fans they were #1, he meant to flip the bird. Those guys compared Mr. Wilson and Coach Levy to Muppets, for God's sake. They've completely ruined what Howard Simon was- I wish that guy would leave and never return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 WOW! Thats pretty harsh!! 555472[/snapback] Dud- he compared our owner, and possibly our GM to muppets! He's talked about whether applesauce is a condiment! He's debated the value of different superpowers! What credibility could he possibly have left! He was awesome on Empire, but has just become one of the other juvenille delinquents along with Schopp, White, Bulldog, Riter, and Hamilton. All they do is try to find things to make fun of and mock. Coach Levy or Wilson could do their jobs better than the WGR people could run a football team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if they are right- some fans will buy into anything negative as being true. WGR has an agenda, and so does Jerry Sullivan- its NOT to tell it like it is, but to sell papers and increase ratings, and they do that by being negative. They have to because neither they nor management are any good at what they do. Do I think Marv Levy will do a good job as GM? Maybe, maybe not. Capability and results are two different things. Do I think he is capable- absolutely, 100%, and no doubt. Yes, I understand that he does not have experience atthe NFL level as a GM- but I somewhat beg to differ on that point. Coach and GM are VERY similar positions- both have to surround themselves with the best possible people- good people, and talented people. Now good people doesn't mean "nice" people as Schopp argued (just to try to kill a good point a caller made that was more articulate than himself). Good means that they are not self serving, and will do what it takes to make the organization better- and that you can trust them. Levy always was excellent at surrounding himself with good people- and always was very loyal to them. Will he clean house, and bring his people in the first year? No- he won't rush things....he is not into the MTV way of doing things a mile a minute- he will evaluate what is here, then adjust to it accordingly. Levy is a true leader, and people will naturally gravitate to him, and follow him. I never had the pleasure to speak with him, but I did run into hima few times as an intern, and you can tell what a commanding presence the man has just by being in the same room as him. I'm very pleased and excited he's with the Bills again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Jerry Sullivan is a joke of a writer and is trying to audition for open slot at WGR. They ought to make him sit with opponent press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
