You Owe Your Very Existence To Bills Owner Ralph Wilson

[Fixit]

You all should stop hating on the Bills. And Kraft in particular should stop his targeted abuse of this small market team. Without Bills' owner Ralph Wilson's vision and generosity there likely wouldn't be an AFC, nor a Patriots team at all.

"He (Ralph Wilson) was a guiding force in AFL policies that ensured success, such as gate and television revenue sharing; in 1961, with the rival Oakland Raiders in financial difficulty, Wilson loaned the club $400,000 and also would be willing to loan money to Billy Sullivan of the Patriots. Wilson helped keep those franchises afloat, likely saving the entire league from folding. In November 1963, Wilson lobbied successfully to have American Football League games postponed the Sunday after JFK's assassination, while NFL games went on uninterrupted."

You owe your very existence to some cheap booze and a bad decision.

I thought it was down to my mum and dad on holiday...

Say there Mr Wilson, did you happen to frollock with a young British girl in the early 80's?

I am another person that likes the Bills.

In fact, I loved Kelly. What a total bum for you guys and your SB runs. I was rooting for you. Did not happen. Darn.

Don't worry Jill, your team has a great tradition, and actually quite a few Pat fans (like me) that respect and like your team.

So, it's OK. No reason to think otherwise.

No need to come here and flame. You are OK in our house.

Another long time Bills fan here. Ironic that Belichick was the hated Jints DC in the SB win over the Bills that crushed my heart. Anyway, Old Man Wilson is senile and had he let Flutie do his thing instead of giving the draft pick for that useless Rob Johnson the Bills might have been a force into the late 90s. Instead, with Rob Johnson they were a farce.

Ralph owes the city of Buffalo a Super Bowl.

Sorry Buffalo_Jill, that was BY FAR the single best shot across the deck anyone has ever written here.

If in fact you are Jill Kelly, I take it back (highly unlikely)

Fixit, you get the prize, outstandingly funny....................

Speaking only for myself,

I HATE THE BILLS AND THEIR LOSER FANS.

The Bills Fans are so freaking bitter and hateful, that they cheer for whoever plays the Patriots. I love to read their posts on their boards when the Patriots once again, go against their "so-called expert knowledge and opinion" and win again and again and again.

Well genius, it's always brilliant to lump a group of people together. I can't believe that Bills' fans don't cheer for their division rival to win.

In all honesty, I have a lot respect for a lot of Pats, especially their first couple of championship teams. Can't really get behind this year's version because of Moss, Harrison, and the spygate thing but there are the model franchise right now and most of their tend to be good spirited.

That said, one day it would be nice to play the Pats in a meaningful game and actually win. :singing:

I actually feel for you.

I hope you were not a fan when 4 SB's went by. If it were me, well, it would hurt.

You know during those days we were used to being bums, so when we lost no big deal. But darn.

So, may you keep your team in Buffalo. Hang in there.

Another reason I hate Bills fans, is that when you go to their websites they claim the Patriots have no real fans, that we are all a bunch of bandwagon-jumping fair weather fans. For example, they back this up by claiming that Patriots fans when questioned, don't know who Steve Grogan is.

Well all I know is that when I have talked about football with this diehard experts, they claim that Chuck Knox never coached their team, don't have any clue who Joe Ferguson is, and the only player they can name before their Super Bowl trips is OJ.

I HATE THEM ALL.

 

[Pats Fanatic]

Actually the entire AFL teams owes more to Lamar Hunt then anyone.

I HATE BUFFALO because I went to the Anchor Bar and the wings weren't all that great. Also I grew up in Watertown and know firsthand what a ****hole upstate NY is.

Really, I don't hate Buffalo. It's more akin to pity. I was a Bills fan as a kid. But losing four consecutive Super Bowls is the saddest story in the NFL.

There's always next year. Or the next. Or the next...

 

[TheGodInAGreyHoodie]

Jill,

We will continue to repay your team by buying up all the unsold ticket when the Bills have a home game against the Patriots so it will be on TV.

What you're really saying is you fell for the tourist trap and didn't see much of Buffalo.

I drove by Anchor on the way to the game last month and I saw a lot of people with Patriots jersies in the parking lot.

Next time in Buffalo, you get wings at Duff's. Anchor stinks, and they removed their transfat fryer for non transfat.

Buffalo is actually a beautiful town. Unless you live in Boston or Providence, I wouldn't knock it. The homes and mansions here are unrivaled since they were all built during the heyday of American home construction 1885-1915.
