  1. Pops Wilson handed ol Ralphie the cash and the businesses and said... In a Homer Simpson like voice... "SONNNNNNNN!!! Just don't **** it up... that's all I ask of you." I think it was mentioned here earlier in this thread earlier and speaks volumes... Ralphie's always been a "league man". Old AFL stalwart... keep the eight fledgling franchises together. Give bootlegger Sullivan in Boston some money to keep him afloat. Give looney toons in Oakland money to stay upright... (Weekend at Bernie's nowadays). Television contracts, league merger in 1970... become good friends with Lamar Hunt... a league man... he would have made for a great senior level administrator for the NFL. Team ownership has always seemed secondary to the league. Kind of an icing on the cake thing... keep the costs low since the inception of the team... get a bit more spendy from about 1986-1996. Everyone knows the drill, they've seen it. But Ralphie would have made for a much better administrator in the league office than as a team owner.
  2. Yeah, but they would have had more jerbs for awhile.
  3. and the Buffalo city fathers crapped on Hank Ford and his start-up automobile idea back in 1902.
  4. The city peaked around the time of the Pan-American Exposition.
  5. Reversing 50 years of urban neglect and 50 years of horrid public policy... it's entrenched. The hockey arena built in the city in the 90s... that's the last large sports facility that will be built in that city. They couldn't land an over-sized tackle and bait shop. There's no way in hell they'll ever build an NFL stadium in Buffalo. The area needs to get away from silver bullet concepts.
  6. And they go out of their way to sully their reputation around the league even further.
  7. Ralphie snubbed Ahmad Rashad to an amount in the 10k range. Rashad bolted. The old-timers will remember that.
  8. The NFL wants a team in WNY linkage please. waterfront stadium? ugh... that thing would sit there vacant for 350 days of the year. let it sit vacant on the Orchard Park / Hamburg border.
  9. I don't think there's any asshats in that neighborhood. It's pretty quiet.
  10. Don't forget to check out the new Bass Amateur where the Aud used to be.
  11. Dey took ar jerbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLni3wbndls
  12. so he's ripping on himself? was it in a self-deprecating context?
  13. "That's actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it." Who is "we" jug ears?
  14. Wish BillCody1960 would put that game up on youtube again.
  15. Probably still a bit better job than "Account Executive - Cleveland Cavaliers" or Pittsburgh Pirates.
  16. Fitzpatrick went to Harvard... home of the Crimson Cardinals.
