Araiza had at least a month to come up with a response, even though the complaint wasn’t filed until Thursday. They could have hired investigators, found witnesses who could back up his story. He should have anticipated a public furor. And Araiza could have issued a comprehensive denial, which he never did. His official statement was pathetic and weak.
I thought I read that they had hired investigators.

And the more he’s unproductive, the more teams realize that the Bills can’t just hang onto him because they need the roster spot for someone who is productive. So I don’t think we’re getting anything unless he suddenly explodes and has a great game.
The longer he plays, the more he demonstrates he can't catch, the less we get in trade value.
Wish we got rid of him before the season.

How bourgeois. Makes him really easy to relate to as a player.

Here’s his post game analysis today: “They won didn’t they?“ He seems to think that all questions about strategy and particular plays in the game are irrelevant, probably because he doesn’t understand what callers are talking about when they ask. Completely unentertaining and rude to callers. I turned it on to listen for a little bit and turned it off. I wish he weren’t on the post game shows.

Butler Out As GM Of Bills
December 19, 2000 / 2:52 PM / CBS/AP
Buffalo fired general manager John Butler on Tuesday, saying it couldn't wait any longer for him to decide whether he would be staying with the Bills.
The 54-year-old Butler, recognized as one of the best at spotting talented players, was in the final year of his contract, and he was being courted by other teams. News of his firing was first reported by the Buffalo News.
"John Butler has been dismissed of his duties as executive vice president and general manager of the club effective immediately," owner Ralph Wilson said in a statement.
"The reason for the dismissal is because John has refused to give me an answer as to his future intentions," Wilson said. "The time has come to move forward and therefore I can wait no longer to see who will be the Bills' general manager after this season."

“So having said that, the stories about the meddling owner rose after Butler was deposed and there were less than flattering accounts of Wilson's treatment of JB. I can't find the story online, but I recall that Wilson reveled in throwing a dig at Butler's working class background and his previous work as a janitor or something like that, after military service. Again, don't recall the exact story details, but the the underlying theme was that Wilson never gave Butler credit and did not feel that he was worthy of a top GM rank. To me, offering to double a $600K salary, when the going rate for a top GM is $2-$3 million is insulting, especially when I'm the one who built the best team you ever had.”
i have always thought and still do that Wilson did not like Butler and forced him out. Apparently others thought so too, despite what Wilson wanted to spin.

Butler was secretly negotiating with SD, Ralph got wind of it and let him go, as he should have
That was Ralph’s revisionist history. I don’t believe it.

Nah, remember when he quit, he left the team in salary cap hell
Butler was fired by Ralph. He didn’t quit.

The only time I ever enjoyed listening to him, is when he's not talking sports, he can be pretty fun. He'd actually be decent as a morning/afternoon drive host on a non sports station. But his sports musing is insufferable.
He does better at non-sports issues than with sports. I noticed that unless he has a guest on, he can’t talk about sports for more than five minutes without changing the subject to something like movies. But I really can’t stand listening to him at all. He knows very little about sports and I listen to the station because it’s a sports station and I expect to hear about our local teams from someone knowledgeable. That’s not Schopp.

Is this the Howard Simon who never attends games? He watches TV, sees only the section of the field that the cameras focus on, and forms his expert opinions.

LaCanfora has written that he never goes into any locker rooms. I suspect that the only sources he has are agents that feed him information to help their own clients, and give him tidbits about other players that are often obviously wrong.
