DrDawkinstein Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I believe it was Russ Brandon that leaked the audio of the Owners Meeting to the NY Times. Pegula was featured heavily in it, and who would be in a better position to catch Pegula's voice than the guy sitting right next to him. And we know Russ was there with Terry. He is a leaker and manipulator, and this would fall right in line with what he did to Whaley and Marrone, and Whaley and Rex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) I just hope this doesn't end up blowing up into something bigger. There are people in Toronto whose sad little hearts might have just skipped a beat or two upon reading this, given the Panthers situation.

BillnutinHouston Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I must be slow on the uptake because I don't understand what's there for the league to look into. The team let Brandon go. What else is there to look into? Whether the TEAM did anything wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I think they are looking into whether or not the team knew about the problems with Brandon earlier than they let on and whether or not something should have been done sooner. In other words, did they try to cover things up for a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As crazy as what you're purporting sounds, Pegula's comments were prominent and did seem targeted. Brandon had to be wise to the investigation..... Even the National Enquirer gets it right sometimes.

Absentee owner in Ralph who had a 100% faith in him and then he was the only one with executive knowledge when the Pegulas bought the team. This is logical timing for an exit but it's sad it ends seemingly in scandal... 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: #russtoo Is there something you want to tell us?

It depends. We do not know much of what happened. If it was a severe violation of nfl or Bills policy, they could bar him from future employment. If the Bills were aware of this behavior previously (and it violates policy and/or nys or federal law), and didn't act, they could be in a bit of trouble.

From what Tim Graham described, it sounds more like an ethical issue. It is not a criminal offense. Maybe he was dating subordinates or something or sending inappropriate pictures or using inappropriate languages around females. Of course, the reason they fired him can be completely unrelated to the misconduct. They launched a full-on investigation and didn’t like what they discovered I wasn't jumping to any conclusion....I'm just equivalent to "talking out loud". I'm just speculating without any real info.
