bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Thanks 655455[/snapback] go to bills.com not wgr
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Ding! 655521[/snapback] Sweet, then we'll have some money to spend...right?
Ramius Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Jones, Snyder, Kraft, etc, all the new owners dont have the same sense of "league" that the old guard does. New owners are looking out for themselves first, NOT the league.
RayFinkle Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Ralph got fired up at that douche bag reporter who suggested he sell the team if he was having so many problems.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 what was that "break even" talk about?? 655529[/snapback] Its what Ralph was saying is probably going to happen under the new CBA. Small cities will be lucky just to break even.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Ralph says the big city clubs have a LOT of influence with the commish. Said he's "undecided" whether or not he passes the club onto a family member.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Its what Ralph was saying is probably going to happen under the new CBA. Small cities will be lucky just to break even. 655533[/snapback] Pardon me, but ralph will have made hundreds of millions in equity on his ownership of the club.
Ramius Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Ralph was disappointed that the new CBA was pushed through so quickly. Says that the big market owners got THEIR proposal.
BB27 Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 This is horrible. He sounds really bad. 655530[/snapback] I actually think he sounds quite lucid and is giving some good answers. Some people on this board seem to be quite anti Ralph.
Ramius Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Ralph will sell the naming rights of the Ralph for 75 cents.
drhockey Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 It sounds like he has no idea what the revenue sharing qualifiers are. If we did qualify for revenue sharing I wonder how much that would add or amount to??
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I actually think he sounds quite lucid and is giving some good answers. Some people on this board seem to be quite anti Ralph. 655537[/snapback] Are you kidding me? he's doddering on and on about how this isn't fair. Well, it's a bit late for that, isn't it?
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 Pardon me, but ralph will have made hundreds of millions in equity on his ownership of the club. 655535[/snapback] But if he doesn't sell....that equity is worth nut sweat. Plus, his family will get killed in estate tax.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Says the Bills "could" lose money...seems like he's taking a worst-case scenario on things, but I dont think he's lost any money up to this point...just a guess on how things will be run. Says at the owner meetings, they dont talk football anymore...all of the new owners want to talk about is money.
BB27 Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Are you kidding me? he's doddering on and on about how this isn't fair. Well, it's a bit late for that, isn't it? 655543[/snapback] You must be listening to a different news conference.
Ramius Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Q: with Tags retiring in july, will you try to have as much input as possible in selecting the new commish, so he isnt a candidate of the big market guys? Ralph: Look at who is on the committee, that will tell you what kind of commish will be chosen.
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 Are you kidding me? he's doddering on and on about how this isn't fair. Well, it's a bit late for that, isn't it? 655543[/snapback] Perhaps if the owners took longer than 45 minutes to debate it he would have had a chance to before it was voted on
