My goodness fellas,lighten up,this is all about adopting a doggie from the SPCA.

Yeah, it is great PR, period. I was impressed and really found it worth the 2.5min of my life to watch.

Yes, he's great in the promotion department.. He does a great job as long as The Pegulas keep him away from the football side of the operation. He sells tickets, which is a very important part of a successful organization. I have a feeling he may be pulling some strings behind the scenes though. I think it's probably very difficult for him to let go of the football decisions. Wasn't he involved in the Rex Ryan hire? And it's been said he's in the draft room and at the scouting combine. It seems unfair that football people are fired for the teams failures but the business side guy remains, even though he is still pulling strings for the football side?

Russ doesn't bother me... he doesn't do anything football related for the Bills. All he does is sale "Hope" every year. I would keep him too...he does that well. The stadium is packed every Sunday

Brandon is President of Pegula Sports Entertainment.  He runs the business side of the Sabres and the Bills.  And he's good at that.  And yes, the President of the organization is there in the room during the draft.  Find me any team where the president is not in the room during the draft.

He has a job because he’s good at selling tickets.  At least for the Bills.  It sounds like Russ is far removed from Football Operations and that’s a good thing 

Agree. I do believe Russ talks to Beane and weighs in. I mean, if you worked for the Bills, wouldn't you? But I don't think it sways Beane's thinking at all.

Whines like a girl scout standing out in the rain crying that nobody is buying any of her cookies?
