Sen. John Blutarsky Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 3 years, money unstated. My head exploded. I cannot believe that they would release that information today. Here's the e-mail I wrote to the ticket office. Some of you won't like it. I don't care. No one important will read it. I don't care. I just read on ESPN that Dick Jauron signed a 3 year extension to remain on with the team. After today's (and the past several week's) performances I am shocked, and irate with that decision. First of all, following the debacle that has become this season I do not understand how Mr. Jauron is keeping his job at all let along being extended. Secondly, I don't know who in the Public Relations office thought it was a good idea to release that information today given the way the Bills absolutely bumbled away that game but they deserve to be fired (if not publicly flogged). My family held season's tickets from 1965 to 1995 when we moved out of the area. Since then we have made at least one trip every year back to Buffalo to watch a game. During that time we have all stomached more than our share of poor football. Right now I have half a mind to re-order the season's tickets just so I can call back and tell you all to stick them up your collective asses. To give extensions to the coaching staff of this pathetic excuse for a football team is a slap in the face to every person who cares about Bills football and I assure you this year will be the last year we travel up there. The common thread for this team since 1960 has been Ralph Wilson. The only hope for this team to succeed is to find new ownership. Unfortunately that will not happen until Mr Wilson sells and he has made it abundantly clear that he will not sell the team until after he dies. Unfortunately, we all know that when that happens the Bills will be bought and moved to Toronto, or LA or somewhere else. Since nothing will change or improve until Mr Wilson dies maybe he should get on with it and put us all out of our collective miseries rather than continue to fleece us out of our money (and love) year after year with false hopes of glory.

Sincerely, Falstaff_in_Philly" It was a good post until you brought up suggesting Wilson should just die...what a joke...you put the success of a football team ahead of a human life...one that does a lot for charity and the community. Nice...no wonder other countrys hate our country...look at our priorities...a silly game is more important to you than the life of another human... This kind of crap makes me sick and embarrassed to be a Bills fan...like everyone else like you who has made such a disgusting request, I hope you are banned...

VOR Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yes. "Ralph Wilson should die so (hopefully) a new owner will buy the team, (maybe decide to) keep it in Buffalo, and (unlikely) spend a ton of money on players and coaches, and (then, just with the tiniest bit of luck) I can see my team win games!" Pathetic. And please STOP with the stupid "Ralph should sell the team now!" He's not going to sell. For the same reasons you'd be a fool to sell an expensive asset if you didn't need to, just before you died: capital gains and then the death tax. The sad thing is that his wife doesn't want the team, because it could pass to her without the inheritance tax being an issue (until she died).

apuszczalowski Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 You make it sound like the bills made this decision right after this game. If its true and he did sign the extension, it was offered to him and done around the Bye week when the Bills were 4-1 and leading the division, and looked great.

Did anyone notice if there is a buyout in the contract terms or is that information not released? I didn't look closely and haven't heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEDFREDJACKSONNOW Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 You make it sound like the bills made this decision right after this game. If its true and he did sign the extension, it was offered to him and done around the Bye week when the Bills were 4-1 and leading the division, and looked great. Still, after 6 games, were they worried that his price would go up if he kept winning? I wonder who made the decision to sign him. Now I know why RW is sarcastic about the Bills' future. If he had just a gleam of insight, he's probably saying "Great, I got another douchebag coach on the level of GW and MM, and mediocre talent....Now I have to eat this contract I signed 2 months ago and am out a bunch of money...." Can RW get DJ on breach of contract - making stupid decisions to lose games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnutinphoenix Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 For me, this is one the saddest days in this team's history...It truly is the setup for the big move...Frontierre did it years ago in Los Angeles (Rams)..When the Rams moved to St. Louis, she claimed people in LA wouldn't buy merchandise (after some pretty pitiful seasons)...I am considering this move by Ralph a ploy to move the club... Thus, knowing people will be less likely to buy season tix, he'll claim the fans won't support this team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonInBuffalo Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-4-534...-delivered.html Although it's just a gut feeling, I think Jauron will be back next year. All of my sources inform me he has signed the much-reported-yet-unconfirmed three-year contract extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bflo Tom Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Dear Ralph, Just f***ing die already. Really? Really? Wow. That's pathetic. He's a husband and father. At least you have your priorities straight. The Sabres aren't doing so well this year either. Do you have any Christmas wishes for Tom Golisano? Lindy Ruff? Ryan Miller?
