Great response, agreed. I never knew he gave Littman 10%, wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to never forget that Ralph Wilson was responsible for the Buffalo Bills and also respect at the highest level his family selling the franchise to owners that would keep the Bills in Buffalo. And thank God for the Pugulas!! Better times are ahead!! ?? Let’s go Buffalo ??????? Why? Teams are no better with Pegula's running them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm counting the Sabres as well...plus the Pegula's hiring Rex Ryan was a horrible mistake that set them back a couple more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
