 No not at all common sense, but more men like fit women.  

 

I could care less, and again, I said there are probably just as many pretty girls in Buffalo, just that in large metropolotin areas in warm weather climates, there is a tendency for more per capita fit women.

 

im not slamming my hometown.  I love Buffalo.

I know what you mean, I spent a year in Tampa and experienced the same thing. The scenery is top notch down there.

Yeah, you'd think if it was her, and the relationship was mutual (i.e., not harrassment), she'd have been shown the door as well for her lack of judgment...

Beyond obese women in spandex and tight tank tops who embrace accentuating their layers seemingly thinking men will lust for them are rampant everywhere.

The full 12 months of active climate is just more conducive to staying fit. I think it’s pretty simple....and I loved it!

Sure you can find a handful of gorgeous women anywhere.

 

I'm talking on a per capita basis.  The average woman walking around WNY is nowhere near as attractive as a woman in Washington, DC, for example, or where I live now, in Palm Beach County, FL.  

 

I often joke with my girlfriend that I see more hot chicks in a 10 minute walk through our mall down here than you would see in a year in Buffalo.  It's true.

 

Cold climates don't support fit women.  The economics of WNY are also abysmal compared to wealthier areas of the country, and money and good looks go together.

Thanks guys.

I have no idea how well known that is but her name kept popping up in rumors when the Russ Brandon story broke.  I know it isn't something that is out there in the public so that just added to the hilarity of the phone call.  

I'm shocked Ken did not mention the pizza delivery girl!

That wouldn’t work because Russ was her boss.  That power dynamic would make it easy for her to sue if she got fired.  Looks like they’re still paying here but keeping her pic off of media.

This is a really dumb post.  I’m betting you never spent time in a Scandinavian country because that wold kill your cold weather and fit women theory.  

 

I lived in Baltimore and I spend a lot of time in DC.  Neither has more “hot chicks” per capita than anywhere else I’ve been. 

 

I will give you one point, some warm climates in the USA have more fit people than cold ones.  This applies to both men and women and has more to due with lifestyle and  an obiesity problem in the USA.

Your "thougt" is only partially right.  He was involved with multiple women in different parts of organization.

[PromoTheRobot]

The largest number of beautiful women per capita is in Texas. I don't know why.

[machine gun kelly]

It’s funny you say that PTR as every time I’m in TX, there are a lot of pretty women, but I have never seen a large proportion of blondes. If you like that, as I only can only go on personal observations, but most likely a small sample size.

It is coincidence that it has the highest per capita sale of peroxide and sillycone.

[Dablitzkrieg]

You guys should not assume.  Maybe it was a dude Russ was banging?

[msw2112]

Larry Hall?  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

So I was at work today and listening to Sal Cappaccio host the One Bills Live show with my headphones on and he takes the first call and this guy calls in and starts rambling on about how "I thought we were supposed to be bringing in high character people around here" and then brings up Zay Jones and LeSean McCoy but then he goes on and says "Russ Brandon's out there banging Lauren Hall"...Sal immediately dropped the call but I damn near lost it laughing so hard.  It might have just been the delivery as it was an older guy and I don't think he did it for shock value and I don't think he realized that's something you can't blurt out on a radio show or the spontaneous nature of it but my co-workers were all wondering what the hell I was laughing at...please tell me somebody else caught this today and had a nice chuckle?

 

 

BP12, I'm not lying to you...I called two friends.

 

I was in a parking lot so little risk of an accident, but on the  road...well, I was laughing quite a bit.

 

Told my wife about it, too.  Seemed like just a normal call at the start, and the guy was just being a little too honest with his comments.

[TigerJ]

I thought that there was enough of a delay between the actual live conversation and the broadcast conversation just for such situations, where something is said that violates station standards.  Obviously, somebody (the producer? wasn't doing his job when mention of "banging" made it on the air.

You're welcome.

 

The recordings are not broadcasts, per se, within the meaning of FCC law, so they need not be edited for swear words and the like.

 

Actually, there really wasn't anything wrong with what Ken said.  I just think Sal thought it was about to get worse, so he dumped the call.  

 

 

 

 

They don't have to but I'm in the middle on it. I'm not surprised because it's wgr and they seem to do everything they can to keep the budget low and not put in much effort. 

 

Yet on the other side, I listen to the Dan Lebatard show, granted it's national, but they're known for editing out anything that's remotely controversial on the podcast. Doesn't even have to involve swear words, I'm definitely gonna check this out now though.

Everyone can listen to the call; WGR records everything they broadcast for later playback.

 

Caller was "KEN".  

 

I agree the caller didn't realize or think he was saying anything untoward. 

 

Call starts around 18:30.

Where do you live? I’ve lived in many States and I don’t really understand this logic. 

 

You say in “wny” like it’s a leper colony. There are pretty girls everywhere. 

 

If you’re a 10, you’re a 10 everywhere. It’s not like your grade is judged on zip code. wny is not hurting for talent. 

Just moved back here from the Deep South. WNY can’t even come close to the talent down south. 

[Ol Dirty B]

Lol the south is average. I lived there. It's always the guy with the ugly girl or wife putting down the WNY women.

 

It's the same for the most part. NYC, LA, a couple other areas have more attractive women because of entertainment, but the guy telling you the deep South has more attractive women has never been to Mobile or San Antonio.

i can't deal with listening to him ( howard ) anymore. he often times sounds like a brain dead stoner.....and i have nothing at all against weed.

I’m not saying there aren’t pretty girls in Buffalo, but per capita, there are a lot more in Tampa where I live.  People just have a tendency to stay more fit in many warm weather climates in decent sized cities.  

 

All of my friends from Buffalo when visiting me when I was single used to say the same thing when down here.  The women are probably just as pretty in Buffalo, but too easy to put on the winter weight, when down here you always are not wearing a sweatshirt or sweater.

 

everything down here is t-shirts, tanks, shorts, etc almost the entire year.

 

as far  as the show I heard a little, but not this caller.  Thanks for sharing.

 

I think this has more to do with demographics and socio-economics than it does weather.  

 

For example, Ohio in general has a ton of overweight people...but in the small, wealthy, town I live in near Columbus there is an abnormally high number of attractive people relative to the rest of the state.  Better food, better education, better means...and likely more of an emphasis on appearance.  

 

It would stand to reason that, on average, places near the beach would also tend to have wealthier people...and people who enjoy active lifestyles.

I can hear it now. Just thinking about how all of the marketing slogans of the last 17 years, could be used as a pickup line.

 

"Feel the Rush!"

"you just gotta BILLIEVE I can make all your wildest dreams come true"

"My Room, BE THERE!"

"I'll lead the charge on you!"

Its very rotten ice walking into that territory.  The Bills could be open to a lawsuit(s) and a larger public embarrassment if they let her (and Russ' other victims) go because of this.  Especially depending on who (if anyone) filed a complaint or brought it to management (or HR's) attention.

 

You cant have a business, especially a large and publicly visible one, where a high level manager (ownership level) leverages his position and status to have sexual relationships with employees.  It is bad on numerous levels.

 

When I hear about this, I don't think "good for Russ", I think of him as a pathetic human.  He really had a dream career, and he threw it away by being a scumbag throughout.  Not to mention his family.

Any proof that Russ did this in the case of Hill or others?   

 

From what I gather, he got canned because he denied a relationship that was later proven to exist based on eye-witness accounts of other PSE employees in NYC for the outdoor game with the Rangers.   There was never any allegation of coercion or leverage of subordinates, to my knowledge...

As far as DNA and photographs?  No

 

I know first hand that this was a problem, dating back to when he was still "only" the Director of Marketing and having relations "secretly" (everyone knew) with a (married) secretary.

 

A few of the media guys (at least Graham) also floated it out there that this was kind of an on-going problem with him.... as well as that one poster here (Kirby).  Kirby is always a Russ Brandon supporter but admitted this was a chronic thing with him.

 

 

And I'm not sure if it is/was Lauren Hall.  It might just be a rumor that got legs and became generally accepted.
