He has been honored with numerous awards, such as the Pete Rozell Award from the Touchdown Club in New Orleans, the NFL Alumni's "Order of the Leather Helmet" and the "Timmie" Award from the Touchdown Club of Washington D.C., but none were more appropriate than the Buffalo News naming him the "Tops Sports Figure" in Western New York in the past millennium.
Can anyone get the text from these clubs, perhaps the actual presentation speeches or any other news accounts?

Here is his resume: Ralph Wilson
Thats a great start, but I think we need more than that, there are plenty of behind the scenes things that could help. As you mentioned, Al Davis was out of money and was on the brink of folding during the season, couldnt even pay the players, Ralph helped him out, and kept the original franchises going. We may need more of that type of examples to show the HOF voters that he has been more than a money hungry owner (see Davis, Jerry Jones). He is actually all about the sport. He had every right to pull up stakes and bail on Buffalo in the bad years, he didnt because it would affect the NFL. We need to dig folks, start googling.....

Great to finally meet you guys, I had a great weekend, just the perfect way to end it with that game. Sorry I missed out on the happy hour, but just had to see the Falls and try the casinos. Thanks again for setting up the stadium tour, absolutely the highlight of the weekend!!!!

The only problem is they cut the sound for announcements, which always come when there are Bills highlights on ESPN, or during a good part of the show u are trying to watch....pisses me off to no end, especially when the pilot is just yammering away about how happy he is to have us there and to relax......sit back......and enjoy.....the in flight TV service.......from Capt Bob..... and the Crew....Tom from Kentucky.... Bill from NEw york.....Cheryl, .....our head bathroom attendant......."
I will go ballistic one day when they do that....

Well, I had 20 hot wings yesterday, and 4 or 5 draft beers. My insides are about to dissolve, and I need to go drop a major stevestojan. I will miss you all, but I should be back in oh about 10 - 15 minutes. I have made this decision based on the fact that if i sit here any longer, I might crap my pants. Thanks for all the memories. I hope you remember me when I get back in 15.
Thanks.
Go Bills.
And you are....???

What a putz that guy was, at first it was amusing, but as he was running, the cop came out of the stairwell, and the guy knew he was caught, but in a move made famous by the Darwin awards, instead of accepting that he made a fool of himself in front of 65K people, he decides to jump down to the next level. I just hope the people on the lower level werent hurt.

I was going steady with a girl I worked with at Sears (I was stockroom, she was children's dept.) in my senior year of high school and through the summer after graduation. Her father had died a few years earlier in a house fire. I went to college out of town and we kept the relationship going long distance (being the naive youth I was). I had met a girl at college my first couple weeks there, and we really liked each other, but I told her I still had a girlfriend back home I cared about so we stopped hanging out with each other. A couple months later I got the "Dear John" letter. She had started going out with the guy at Sears who was hired to replace me, and who I had trained. It turned out that her mother had died from a heart attack and she and her two sisters were now without both parents, and she needed a shoulder to cry on. I met with her one last time to try to get her back, but it was too late. And by that time the girl I had met at college was going out with someone else. It still hurts when I think about it all these years later.
Ouch, that hurts, but the good news, 24 years later, he is still a stock boy at Sears, and after 4 kids and 69 pounds, she was promoted to Womans wear at Sears.

Were several posts deleted from this thread? I could have sworn I saw more on it last night..

I was probably shooting for parking across from Hammers by 9 am, I usually park at Hammers, or across the street on those side streets which allow for a quick right turn to get me to the airport. We will definately make the Pinto part of the day, and we will go to the fieldhouse for a little while. Hope to meet up with you early, I'll bring my Gatorade

The Jets should prepare for a battle. Our record does not accurately reflect the Bills talent, nor does the Jets record properly reflect your team.
Herm Edwards is a master at keeping his guys ready for all games, so I don't think the Monday night hangover will play out on this one.
Henderson has proven to be a pretty damn good pickup over Ted Cottrell, I'm surprised Herm has demanded that he come out of the booth, he was pretty successful calling the game from there. Most impressive is the quick plugs that Henderson was able to locate to fill glaring weaknesses, including Coleman a 7th round pick who has been a started since pre season, and Vilma, came in in place of Cowart and is calling the defence as a rookie.
I don't know that Pennington is a savior as much as he is a dependable QB, he will not make mistakes, and rarely gets rattled. Pennington doesnt have astrong arm for long throws, but the offense is designed to keep his throws in the short to medium range areas. Martin is having yet another great season, but Jordan should be used more frequently, not just as a change up, but as part of the base offense. As the weather gets nasty, that will be the way to win the remaining games in the northeast weather.
Buffalo has had some "issues" of late, and any scanning of thread titles here will tell you that Bledsoe is done, McGahee is our new savior and Moulds can/cannot be counted on.
If Buffalo can hang on through the second quarter, you may see a different Buffalo team that you are accustomed to seeing on sportcenter highlights.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the tent
city jail has jail
meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the
inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails.
Took away their weights.
Cut off all but "G" movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free
work on county and city projects. Then he started
chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for
discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a
federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the
cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the
weather channel. When asked why the weather channel he
replied, so they will know how hot it's gonna be while
they are working on my chain gangs.
He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the
Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape
that he pipes into the jails.
More on the Arizona Sheriff:
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in
Phoenix (116 degrees
just set a new record), the Associated Press reports:
About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded
tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission
to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts. On
Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either
curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents,
which reached 138 degrees inside the week before.
Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat
collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.
"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James
Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. "It's
inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent
city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat
bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic He said Wednesday that he told
all of the inmates:
"It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living
in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn't
commit any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!"
Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like
this one, there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders.
Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until
it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so
they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers
can't afford to have for themselves.

We have about the same chance of making the playoffs as a Snickers bar has of making it out of Rosie O'Donnels grasp.....
Not that I don't fantasize about that snickers bar making its way out of her clutches...but seriously??? No
