Haven’t they gone through a bunch of these guys?

Yep. Maybe this guy will keep it in his pants. That seems to have felled a couple of 'em.

As long as they don’t go to London (any of them) they should be fine.

You forget Russ Brandon.

PSE is dead! Long live the dual COO of both the Bills and the Sabres!

(I'm actually curious how it works to be hired to matching positions at two different companies like this. Which org gives him health insurance? Does the Bills gig pay him more? How does he decide how to allocate his time between teams?)

Hey now....I'm from Rochester...I'm a SUNY Brockport grad....I've also never done anything impactful at the professional sports level....this should have been me.

You forget Russ Brandon.

Nyet comrade. I have no idea who that is

Is that what "HIMS" said to this dude about his hair growth product?

Are any of us really in a position to judge whether or not he's "done anything impactful at the professional sports level"? He's held similar positions in two different organizations and seems about as qualified as anyone could expect.

I understand some pessimism based on how previous appointees have fared in the same position, but I'm not sure what his credentials have to do with anything. They seem fine.

A. This was clearly a satirical post because he's obviously more qualified than me...(allegedly)
B. The teams he's been connected with have done nothing to prove success
C. Yes....pessimism is best considering our history with this role.

I thought it was just a (fitting) joke about Brockport

Ick, an Aquinas alum. As a McQuaid alum, this offends my delicate sensibilities.

Wasn't/ Isn't Aquinas co-ed though? Sounds like there are perks...

It is. My perks from an only male school is a strong focus on academics and about 10 years of social anxiety. I actually don't mind Aquinas, and know a few decent alums from there. I just need to support my preconceived notions.

amen brother. One might say getting my degree from SUNY Brockport allowed me to be focused on other things....

Being jealous of us SUNY Fredonia grads?

Sports management structures are fascinating. I never thought they'd start to look so much like corporate america. It makes you wonder if it helps or hurts an org.
