mileena Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) [see article in link below.] Although I can sympathize, I don't think the Bills did this to screw him over. At the same time, the guy is a big donor to the Bills. And as far as him complaining the Bills have three home games in December, that actually might be advantageous for us, especially vs. the Colts and Dolphins. And, nice alliteration in the BN title below!http://buffalonews.com/2017/04/21/seething-salvatore-says-nfl-schedule-displaces-annual-bills-miami-bash/ Edited April 22, 2017 by mileena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Not to derail the topic but I've been to the party a few times and I don't remember the bar being open. (FWIW, I don't remember most of those trips). I know that you pay to go in (or for something at the door). Maybe I just didn't realize but I could swear I paid for my drinks.

YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Boyko being a Buffalo native probably "gets it" - Russ S. just wants to talk. He deserves the time from OBD though I'm sure they had nothing to do with this and with all the factors that go into planning a schedule that works for 32 teams im guessing his party isn't one of them. But he should get a phone call for all he's done and as a STH since 1968. He should be made to feel important. Well done Boyko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell said he could take off work, but his complaint is no one from Buffalo is going to fly to the the Fish game during the holidays, so why bother doing the party?

Meathead Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 how old is he now? too old for this kind of whine and cheese i think the news is inflating things again. hes been around long enough to not let a random calendar fluke melt him down. i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he deserves the NFL to schedule around his party, but I do think he deserves some kind of acknowledgement from the organization, which they are doing. Sometimes a phone call is all it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Russell hosts the party in Florida actually, in Fort Lauderdale. His complaint is no one from Buffalo is going to fly to the the Fish game during the holidays, so why bother doing the party? I think he may be surprised. This isn't thanksgiving/Xmas. A lot of people travel to a city like this for NYE. Concerts, college football, etc... draw big special event crowds as do football games (people often even have days off work to make the trek) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is upset though because he is 84, and said he probably won't have too many more chances to host this party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Our biggest rival is Miami. after Jimmy Johnson left it was finally over and was dying when Jim and Marino retired. We really don't have a big rival anymore since we are mediocre but most people hate the Patriots now. What we need now for a rivalry is to regionalize the divisions and we can be the Rust Belt Division. 1. Buffalo 2. Pittsburgh 3. Cleveland 4.

I think there will be a good chunk of folks eye balling it with a decent first half of the season. A slow start is a bigger risk than the holiday, realistically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
