As always this is only my opinion I love your opinions...you are like the Iraqi Minister of Information during Sadaam's reign. Your opinions are wonderful humor.. Thanks for being you. Better yet, for the scoreboard screen, we can show Bills games when they move to Toronto and Ralph lives out the few years he has left drowning in cash...

The real funny thing is that the $3.5 million the tax payers are paying for that TV is $3.5 million more than Ralph will be spending on his own team. It's even funnier that you bring up the comparison to Sadaam's Minister. Considering how Marv bumbled ans stumbled through the press conference. It was even funnier on the NFL network when he called Ko Simpson a defensive lineman. There's a man with his finger on the pulse of the team.

That is the type of strategic thinking we need to put us over the top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Ko as a defensive lineman...brilliant!!! That is the type of strategic thinking we need to put us over the top... We could use more bulk up front, so it's not as crazy as one might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to respond further. Unfortunately I will spending the rest of the day trying to figure out the Red & Blue QB rating system. It has to be easier than the math formula the NFL uses now.

apuszczalowski Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Then lets take our $5 million dollar TV back. We can put it downtown and show Sabre highlights. As always this is only my opinion Since when did Ralph get a new TV? I thought Erie County bought a new screen for THEIR stadium and not for Ralph like you keep shoutiong your mouth off about. Either way money was going to the stadium this year becasue it is in THE LEASE that they pay 'X' amount of dollars every year to pay for upgrades and upkeep of their stadium. This year it went to upgrade a run down scoreboard. And last time I checked, There is alot more costs to running a franchise then just paying the players. Its not like Ralph pays out the Salary using the revenue sharing money, and then pockets all the ticket sales, and other income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he does- just read this board Jeff Littman posts here and he says Ralph is a money grubbing cheapskate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Ralph holds all the naming rights? Yet Ralph is the only tenant? Yet Ralph has the final say in regards to anything involving the Stadium. The LEASE you refer to was nothing more than extortion. Plain and simple. The fact that Erie County has to give Ralph a $3.5 million dollar welfare check is sick. Who pays for the County Officers controlling traffic? Is it Ralph? Does Erie County get any of the parking revenue? Concessions? If it's our stadium shouldn't we? Also, Ralph makes millions from the Bills every season. So yes, he has pocketed a ton of money. They fact that a multi billion dollar company continues to pillage communities across the country is a crime. People complain that a Casino is a black hole. If that's the case the NFL works much like a casino. If takes in all the money it can and when it's all gone they move on like locust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is Erie Counties Stadium, and they named it after Ralph, he didn't just go and tell them that he wanted named after himself, and they couldn't name it something else, Erie county decided to name it after the man that brought the NFL to Buffalo, you know to show their appreciation. The fact that Erie County has to give Ralph a $3.5 million dollar welfare check is sick. Who pays for the County Officers controlling traffic? Is it Ralph? Does Erie County get any of the parking revenue? Concessions? If it's our stadium shouldn't we? You think Ralph is the only owner who is getting something from the government for having a team? Wasn't New York going to pay Millions to build a new home for the Jets and Giants? Thats not them receiving welfare? The Jets and giants revenue is much more then what Ralph gets from the state, which the money doesn't even go to Ralph, it goes to the Stadium. Also, Ralph makes millions from the Bills every season. So yes, he has pocketed a ton of money. They fact that a multi billion dollar company continues to pillage communities across the country is a crime. People complain that a Casino is a black hole.

He makes less then atleast 30 other owners in the league and doesn't pocket as much as everyone believes he does. If you don't like how the NFL works, don't watch and don't support it, I'm sure without you as a fan, the average IQ of the NFL fans will increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wilson owns the naming rights and could sell it just like any other team. Erie County didn't name the stadium. Ralph Wilson did. Are you sure you want to be talking about others IQ? If Ralph is so poor why does he ignore this revenue stream. Revenue that goes 100% to him. Not Erie County. http://www.realfootball365.com/nfl/article...ium-060417.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Erie County didn't name the stadium. Ralph Wilson did. Actually, George Pataki did, when the new lease was signed: ''I can think of no better way to show our appreciation to the man who brought the National Football League to western New York, and kept it here.''

I'm awaiting Delucca's Reply I guess we'll have to wait til he finishes annoying the posters at the Sabres board for it. Yeah, I'm sure I'm willing to talk IQ with a guy who makes Crayonz posts look like they were written by Mensa members. For a guy who only comes onto the boards when the Doom and Gloom crowd comes out and then runs into hiding when things are going well, you have been proven an idiot many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
