SDS Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just a little announcement... Through Lori's help, we have been talking with former Rochester D&C columnist Scott Pitoniak about publishing his Bills related pieces here on TBD. After exchanging some emails and a nice talk, we decided it made sense to pursue this and try to give Scott's articles as much exposure as we can. Scott has been covering the Bills for 26 years and has retained his credentials with the Bills. I hope our readers find his pieces informative and worthwhile...

8-8 Forever? Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Cool. I just read the "Cowher power" piece. I'd love it if that happened! Cowher is generally regarded as waiting for John Fox to be fired so he can take the full-charge Carolina job, and the way Carolina is going, it may even happen this year. He and his family and his home are centered in North Carolina and that is universally regarded as where he wants to be. No amount of $$ is going to get him to come to live in f ing buffalo when the SanDiego, Carolina, maybe even Dallas and other jobs may be available for the same or more $$.. can we please stop thinking all franchises and cities and owners are equal for the same dollars? What happens when Ralph dies? New ownership comes in and cleans house. Would you take a job where you know your boss is leaving and your company is likely moving as well when that happens (perhaps to a different country?). Cowher is not taking this job. Any coach who does may end up in Canada, which has to be the last place he, his wife and perhaps school age children wants to be. I do not believe coaches want to be ex-patriots as well... not part of the job description. This franchise is toast until long term ownership and management is in place and top tier prospective coaches/players, who can go wherever they want to , know what they are getting into. Think it all the way through people ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I will say this though: When I opened up TBD this AM and I saw 'Cowher' and 'Buffalo' in the lead sentence, I had a flicker of hope that Ralph had done something spectacular... but then I remembered.

Rockpile would've been a lot more of a memorable meeting at Danny's had i recalled you buying a round ... i keed, i keed. i'm in an HST mood tonight and the music's cranking real good, and the bartender's pouring a good strong drink. ... it was good meeting you too, "Rocky." and never sell yourself short on the journo front. the way things are going in this business, we'll need all hands on deck pretty soon. and that's no lie. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
