JM2009 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 https://www.buffalorumblings.com/ralph-c-wilson-jr/2017/8/24/16189134/documentary-ralph-wilson-buffalo-bills-detroit-lions-afl-nfl-new-era-field-hall-of-fame?utm_campaign=buffalorumblings&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter The life and legacy of late Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson will be explored in an upcoming documentary. The as-yet untitled program will air at November 10th at 9 on WNED, the Buffalo-area public broadcasting station. WNED’s chief program officer, John Grant, will head the project. The documentary is funded by the New Era Cap company, whose corporate name replaced Wilson’s as the namesake of the Bills’ home field only last season. Rich Foods held the stadium’s naming rights from 1973-1998; Wilson’s name headed the stadium from 1998-2016, when New Era purchased the rights.

Irv Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 ESPN declined to participate in the documentary. The network said Mr Wilson's name was offensive to tennis balls and baseball mitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gets cooler in every thread. So glad it's PBS/WNED and not an ESPN production. And I gets it's the super cool thing to hate ESPN but their documentaries have been awesome.

4_kidd_4 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Nothing to do with 'hating' ESPN, just glad it's a local production. Plus PBS docs are usually very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 So glad it's PBS/WNED and not an ESPN production.The local touch is nice but ESPN excels in that world as well. They won a best documentary Oscar last year. That genre is what they do best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
