JoeF Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks, Joe. Just glad that I was able to play a small part in helping a great man get his life back together. Near the end of the fund drive I was told by a very credible media source that Kim Pegula would be reaching out to Darryl and offering him the Ambassadorship. She wanted to wait because she didn't want to step on the great gesture made by the thousands of fans that gave to the fund. That is the type of amazing ownership that we are blessed to have. That is awesome. As a fan base, we have been blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for motivating us. the results have proven nothing short of outstanding. You are the one who deserves all the thanks! But We as a whole can be pretty amazing too. Why do you think Pegulas chose Buffalo Bills anyways. we are a strong loyal caring bunch of folks. and will remain that way come hell or high water or both. we seen that too.

White Linen Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Talley recieved 3x more money on gofundme then the family of the little boy killed by car in Delaware park. Sad. And I'm sure that family got more than another with a worse tragedy - what does that prove? Just because someone was helped more than another doesn't diminish it, why you would make a post like this is insulting. Shame on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes the owner who gave millions to various charities for years and gave a BILLION dollars to charities in his will sucked so badly. How about we have new owners that carried on the traditions of giving just like the WIlson's did.....happy?

ChevyVanMiller Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) http://www.gofundme.com/maksym I'm going to tell you what I told a lot of people that lodged similar criticisms during the fund drive: I believe people being charitable for any cause is a good thing and one cause should ever be pitted against another. Also, many people that give to one person also open their hearts and wallets to others. To prove that point I clicked the link you provided and donated $50 to the family.

RevWarRifleman Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Great read from Janine Talley this morning. How true, just read it this morning. How can you not love Darryl Talley? Same w/ the Pegulas. What a great human-interest story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin' Rob Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes the owner who gave millions to various charities for years and gave a BILLION dollars to charities in his will sucked so badly. Every time i read disparaging remarks about Ralph, this is exactly what I think. He had outdated philosophies on how to run a football organization, we can mostly agree on that, but the "Ralph is cheap" crowd takes it a bit far too often. The man made virtually all of his money from the football, even though his trucking company gave him the wealth to purchase the team, and he gave back the entire time. He also refused to move the team to greener pastures and included language in his will that made moving the team difficult. We are lucky to have a guy like Pegula owning our teams and investing so thoroughly in the community, but that should not take away from the good deeds of the former owners.

Talley made a couple million in his career. I dont realy remember him in Buffalo since his retirement either. He didn't ask for anything. I made that decision for him and thousands of fans got behind it. In the end, a guy that was suicidal is now doing great and will be back working for the Bills. I hope you'll be able to find a bit of happiness in that because this story could just have easily had a Junior Seau-type ending.

Very wide right Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 See my post in other thread. I'm for this, in principle, but it may not be a great idea to just do this, without some prep work and an okay from someone close to Talley, at least. Thats great thinking,Im sure he doesn't want the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how does NFL base the amount a player receives on a date? The article said Talley only receives $39,000 a year because he missed the date for $120,000. The new article is great. He is getting all the free medical help he needs. I wonder if he also gets the $120,000 per year as well. So you would rather we sent emails to the NFL and cross our fingers that he didn't kill himself first? Money doesn't cure depression. I wish it did.

bladiebla Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 So we shouldn't give money to the family that lost the child? Yes, you should, if you can spare it and want too. The point is that someone was trying to put a downer on a successful campaign that may have saved a life but at the very least saved a marriage. The world is always going to be a place where if you help in one place you didn't help in another place of need. You can't feel guilty about that if you helped out since you a least helped out. Feel proud for giving something back to someone who gave you loads of memories and emotions, help out others if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're just trolling at this point, but having spent some time with Darryl I can tell you that he lost his money because his business was hit hard by the recession and he used his personal finances to make his payroll and take care of his employees. The right business move would have been to file for bankruptcy, but as Jim Kelly will attest to, that route also comes with much public scorn.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Watch it..... CBF The article by Tim Graham did the job. Talley got the medical attention needed. He got hired by the Bills. The NFL disability program will take care of him. Hope Talley donates that $150,000 to a great cause of his choice. Now that would be a happy ending.
