SouthNYfan Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 46 minutes ago, John in Jax said: LOL Calm down and go enroll in an anger management course. She was working for Terry Pegula in 1991, TWO YEARS before they got married. So YES, she was an employee. Also, as of now, I have NO IDEA what Russ B. is accused of doing while Bills/Sabres President; it seems to ALL be speculation. 43 minutes ago, John in Jax said: Again, IF they forced out RB because of inter-office "romance", the irony & hypocrisy would be just too good to ignore. Now, if RB was a "sexual harasser", then that's a totally different story. Do we now know (not rumors) the "real story" as to why RB was forced out? Terry met Kim when she was a waitress. He employed her at his company. More than likely there was some romance prior to this, or intent to do so. Moving forward from that, many companies have rules against dating somebody in a lower position than you on the totem pole. My company has this. No fraternization with direct subordinates, as well as immediate disclosure to management if this occurs with somebody in a different position within the company. So, once again, there is no "irony" because it is a totally different situation. Russ, from all signs, resigned after an internal investigation seems to have revealed unprofessional behavior within the workplace, and misconduct, which 99.99% of the time means he was banging an intern, or something of that sort. He more than likely violated a direct rule they have in place, which many large corps do. So, once again, Terry and Kim were together long before they purchased the Sabers or the Bills. This is not "ironic" because it is not the same situation. I don't need an "anger management course" I just need morons like you to stop assuming that she's only where she is because she's "F*cking the boss" she IS the boss. She may have had a relationship, and eventual marriage, to the owner back in the day, but she is now a owner of said company, with her husband, and seems to be quite good at running a business with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some college major that prepares you to own a major sports team? She's ultimately qualified on her own merits. Go away you chauvinist pig. ouch. panties in a bunch ?

Domdab99 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 She's certainly more qualified to be President of the Bills than the current President of the You Know What. Besides, she's the co-owner. She can name Kermit the Frog President if she wants. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the comparisons people have of Russ Brandon and Terry Pegula. One guy owns a business, the other guy just held a powerful position. One guy is married to the girl the other guy is cheating on his wife. I love mental gymnastics people are doing.

The Pegula’s have done little right during their time as owners of the Bills, and to a much greater extent, the Sabres. Many (most?) ex-player president we’re pretty bad at the job. Playing the sport is not a prerequisite to being a club president. 1 minute ago, BUFFALOBART said: Too many of the posters are too easily irritated...

Lfod Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) 14 minutes ago, SouthNYfan said: Darn. I insulted somebody who I called a moron for slinging insults about Kim Pegula only being where she is for sleeping with the boss. I won't lose sleep over calling you a moron for that one. I love the guy calling for me to be banned because I called him a moron for comparing Kim Pegula to Russ Honestly to me it doesn't matter how she got to the place she got. If I read her story correct she was abandoned and adopted. That already is a rough start. The only thing that matters to me is that Kim Pegula loves the Bills. I believe she does. I already believe she has had an influence on the team. If I have my thoughts right then she is probably over qualified for the position. So I do not question her taking a position that was being run improperly. That is so much better then the status quo. Yes I can understand you getting mad over people being disrespectful about her. I'm not happy about it either. To assume she is just the trophy wife and that she can't handle power is not a smart take. I assume she has had a huge influence all along. This team is her baby and I respect that. Russ Brandon didn't. It's stupid to think that Kim doesn't love her toy and can't learn how to operate it.
