So, if Erie County owns the Bills' stadium...do the Bills have zero say in the naming rights?  So, for instance, as outrageous as it would be, if some company bid to name the stadium "Tom Brady" stadium...and for whatever reason, Erie County approved it, the Bills would just be stuck with that name?  

 

Again, ridiculous scenario, but I imagine there is a potential for a stadium name that the Bills organization would not like...

The #Bills lease with Erie County has a section on stadium naming rights.


The stadium name "shall not unreasonably cause embarrassment to the County." The name is subject to approval from the county.

Dear Mrs. Pegula,

 

Please forego soliciting bids for naming rights to the football stadium.  Make a popular decision and decree that the name shall be hence forth and evermore Ralph Wilson Memorial Stadium, aka "The Ralph."

 

Thank you for your attention to my recommendation.

 

Respectfully,

Top 5 punchable faces.  He’s a giant douche but I give credit where’s it’s due. I remember when barstool was just a boston thing.  Now, it’s a major company.

 

and barstool has some terrible things but they do give the Bills and their fans a lot of love.

 

turns out there's big money in being a douchebag. You have no problem screwing people over and other douchebags will love you.

I don't know or care how much money he makes - I don't hate rich people at all.  Good for him.  I dislike him because he acts like the quintessential annoying American college bro d-bag.  He has a history of demeaning women.  His humor isn't funny.  He sucks up to Trump.  He's just a super-douche.  He represents everything I can't stand about our culture.

I agree in some respects.  Some of the stuff is way over the top for my liking.   However, in his defense he says a lot of stuff out loud that a lot of men think and act on but prefer to hide in sheep's clothing.  Rather deal with him than hypocrites who pretend to be something they aren't.

 

On the Trump thing, not everything is about someone's political leanings.    And from what I've seen in interviews Portnoy is the son of liberal lawyer and school teacher parents and doesnt align with a political party.  Kind of weird his parents would raise such a college bro....Suppose Biden's choice of Cardi B as an interviewer is more your speed?

FYI if you pay attention to the site all of their writers are left leaning.

So educate me, what are some of these "terrible" things Barstool has done?

Predictably, everyone who says "Barstool bad" can't articulate why Barstool is bad.

 

Same people probably think that ESPN is still good.  Lames.

What?  What if I enjoy both ESPN and barstool?  Also, for all the ESPN critics, who is beating them?

Literally anyone that covers sports without yelling that rival the “***** screaming at each other in (insert city” the wife watches. Seriously why are Steven A Smith & Max Kellerman yelling about Jimmy Garoppolo

That's good to know...but I think it could be argued that naming the stadium with something relating to another team or even a Pegula business rival, wouldn't inherently be embarrassing to the County, but surely could be to the Bills or the Pegulas.  I still doubt Barstool gets the bid though.  We'll see.

This is actually a really good point I didn't even think about. It has the possibility for a ton of press. If I were Erie County and/or the Pegulas, I would mandate it as part of the contract. 

 

 

Winning will give them a ton of press too...

When it comes to the NFL?  Fox crushes them Sunday mornings, SNF crushes MNF, NFL network is better on every level.  It's not even a debate.

I think he is trash but I like some of their stuff.  I know this is wild to some but you can like multiple things.
