RevWarRifleman Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 To Mary Wilson and the trust, I thank you so much for selling the Bills to the Pagulas. The Bills will stay in Buffalo where they belong. I've been a Bills fan since their beginning and the Bills belong no where else. Go Bills!!

nucci Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) if the bids from other cities were high enough Mary Wilson would of sold to them.. Thank Pegula only Wrong and it's would have. Out of town people did not bid because trying to move the team from Buffalo was going to be difficult Edited September 9, 2014 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phxbacker Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you Ralph and Mary Wilson ! You are truly awesome people for doing what you've done for Buffalo, the Bills and the fans near and far. We will never forget. I'd support a statue in Ralph's honor no doubt.

Dirtbag Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It's time to erect a Ralph Wilson statue. i think mary deserves one just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you, Mr. Wilson and thank you, too, Mary Wilson, from the very bottom of my heart for keeping the team in Buffalo when you could have made much more money elsewhere. Some of us have understood that public service for a while and I suspect others will understand that more as time goes on. My one and only time meeting Ralph Wilson was at TC about ten years ago I thanked him in person for not moving the team for money and he said to me "Pshaw, what am I going to do, sit in my kitchen counting my money?" I never forgot that and never will. You were an honorable and good man and are missed by. Bills Nation. To the Pegulas I just say this--thank you, too, and please take good care of our baby!

DirtDart Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) The Wilson's were champions of our city, and our team. We could never thank them enough for all they have done. And now if all goes well we have the next generation of great ownership. Terry, and Kim will carry the torch the Wilson Family have now passed. R.I.P. Ralph, We Thank you.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I believe the Pegula's will be on that ASAP. As well as adding his intitials on the Bills jersey's on a permanent basis CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ralph def deserves a statute. Not only what he did for the Bills during and after his life, but he is also one of the most underrated individuals when it comes to discussing the people who made the NFL what it is today.

A new law just for Ralph. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 While I don't know this for a fact, I don't think Mary would've ever sold them to anyplace else had Ralph not left his directive(s). Either way, I'll never get tired of saying this: thank you Ralph, from the bottom of this Bills' fans heart. it was probably her hope that the team would stay in Buffalo as well, but I don't want to take anything away from Ralph. he set this all up so that the team would stay and we can't give him enough praise and admiration for all that he has done for this city. he wasn't even from here but he loved us like his own.

billsfaninky Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Mrs. Wilson, Thank you so much for ensuring that the Bills will remain in Buffalo.

hondo in seattle Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 if the bids from other cities were high enough Mary Wilson would of sold to them.. Thank Pegula only Huh? Given the way Ralph set up the lease and the trust, he made it both difficult and unlikely for out-of-towners to buy and and move the team. I'm sure he did all this with Mary's willing cooperation. Bidding would have gone hundreds of millions higher if not for the restrictions Ralph and the Trust put in place. Mary, many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
