Isn't that the guy that asked Babcock at his Leafs press conference if he lied to the Sabres?

Maybe it's a ploy, so that they can now raise season ticket prices?
I know you were joking. But I just wanted to say Terry already said he’s not raising the Sabres seasons for next year. Now the Bills ... all bets are off :laugh :

Long as Kim is running business ops and either hiring hockey minds or football minds or letting Beane and Botterill run the shows, I'm fine with it

"Eric Cartman?"
Possible responses:
Free Sabres tickets in exchange for sex? Gives a whole new meaning to the term "doubly f***ed".
No thanks. I'd rather pay the Stub Hub fee.
Will you comp the parking garage charge for both?

That won't be happening. Kim Pegula refers to herself as the Black Widow, she's fairly megalomaniacal. She wants the power and fame that comes with being the president of two major league sports franchises. Letting it out there that Brandon was investigated for workplace sexual indiscretions is very savage, in this present day culture he is now toxic, can't see anybody in the sports industry hiring him. But we don't know the details, if he was carrying on consensual relationships with employees she should have kept her mouth shut about it, if it's more/worse than that than what she did is fair.
he took a couple dates to Sabres games and they filed kidnapping charges. No one was willingly sitting through those games.
In all seriousness, I hope this means we can put actual hockey and football minds in key hockey and football positions. Someone call Lou while he's still feeling hurt by Shannahan's decision to remove him as GM.

If we hire Lou the first thing he'll do is trade ROR. The perma-beard will never fly.

Hold on - we don’t have any indication that it was Kim (or Terry) who leaked that information. Their public statement doesn’t even acknowledge the existence of any kind of investigation.
The BN article cites “two unnamed sources” in the organization. Which could be anyone connected to the front offices of either team.
Lots of stuff already floating around about the whole thing.
Adams might be the right guy from a hockey operations standpoint but man do they need someone for the marketing, new Bills stadium, Sabres and Amerks stadium upgrades, etc.

Yes, have some!
So, because he made it to 20, he feels he can have relationships with female employees now? Buddy, I doubt you get hired by anyone after that/
And if ROR picks the beard over playing on the team then that's probably a good idea. The team needs structure and accountability, two things Lou brings in spades. He's a hard ads from a past era, but perhaps that's just what we need with a team full of kid millionaires.

Also, even if it was just “consensual relationships” that’s still a HUGE no-no when you are talking about subordinates at work.
It’s arguble whether you can ever really have a truly “consensual” relationship with a person who controls your livelihood.

Bye Felicia.
Did some good things with the Bills business side, but was largely a disaster with the Sabres business.

He didn't do anything, the teams sold hopes and dreams, then when those hopes and dreams didn't realize people stopped showing up.

Russ sold the hopes and dreams, and did it well for the Bills.
