It’s amazing to me how many people seem to loathe other people just because they’re successful. People are people no matter of their portfolio status. 

What independent reporting have you done to dispute The Athletics’ article?

Actually Terry spent like a drunk sailor when he first bought the team.

Yea, 14 years ago. Since COVID he stripped things down to a skeleton crew. That’s actually part of why Adams got the job. He was willing to be the hatchet man.

Here's my research:

Are you a different person because of the amount of money that you either have or don't have? I'm guessing not.

LOL. It was your analogy. Anyway…
 

Yeah, that’s what it means. I had already discussed the coaching situation and everyone knows that Whaley was replaced by McBeane in 2017.
 

Is that all you have?  Or were you including Russ Brandon, who lasted until May 2018, but had been relegated back to the marketing department for over a year by then?

In any case, it’s silly to harp on the first two full years of their ownership (they were awarded the team in October 2014 so they had no control over that season ) when the last eight have been incredibly successful and the next decade is looking good as well. 

 

now that you mention it, it's been only "a minute" since the Sabres were in the playoffs!

 

but yeah, it took Pegula 3 long years to wake up and dump Whaley and Russ.  the time did not pass quickly.

 

Also, Buffalo Bill did not ****** those victims in the pit: he made clothing out of them...so analogy was on point.

Yeah, yeah, the Sabres suck. Old news and I wish it were just for “a minute.”  But It’s funny you care about them since you used to think that the NHL was a joke of a sports league.

 

Terry inherited the 2014 team and they went 9-7, which was their best record in a decade, and they were in the playoff hunt until the final week of the season. There wasn’t going to be a change until Marrone pulled his stunt and Terry made the right move not giving into his demands  Whaley was given more time and that and Rex Ryan were admittedly mistakes.  So again, two years of error followed by what should be almost two decades of success are not even worth mentioning. 

 

And what I quoted was what Buffalo Bill was saying to himself in the mirror in that scene to which you are referring. But do you really want to keep using the analogy where you’re the murderous psycho tranny, who gets killed at the end wearing night vision goggles in a basement full of butterflies?

Imagine describing somebody as being "relagated to the marketing side" when he's literally the President of two pro sports franchises owned by a guy who proudly wears "flat management structure" on his sleeve.

You think 20k people didn't see Pegula in his box watching? That's what we're leaning on?

 

Hopefully one day we can be unsure if Terry is in attendance for a Stanley Cup (LoL) or Super Bowl. Because the leagues and leadership between the three leagues are so similar, lolz.

 

I was at the last Bandits final. I didn't bother to look. I was busy celebrating.

That Athletics article never actually cited any instance of Terry doing something that hurt the team. It was basically: a) he's around the team a lot. b) unnamed sources say that isn't good. c) "hamster wheel."

I see you have spent very little time around rich kids.

they are ABSOLUTELY different

But aside from that, what makes you think Pegula is some humble great guy? What ever gave you that impression?

Do you think that Russ Brandon had any significant duties with respect to scouting, acquiring, or coaching players after McBeane came on board?

Lol, yea. Even nice rich people are pretty different.

Geez….spend much time practicing all that stereotyping or does it come naturally? And no, I have no idea what kind of a guy Terry is, and I’d bet you don’t either.

This thread is just a hit piece on Pegula's under a phony title.
