I don't consider Whaley to be a bad GM. In fact the Bills have more talent than ever. The fact he sucks at press conferences is meaningless to me. As for the Toronto series, the team didn't need any help making themselves laughing stocks. They managed to do that on the field themselves. That's like saying they lose because they can't play all their games at home. That series wasn't popular but it made craploads of money. Brandon was hired by Ralph to find money to keep the team viable. He did that. Here's something else Brandon did that no one likes to give him credit for: He put the $400MM "poison pill" in the Bills lease with the county that would have penalized any owner who tried to move the team out before the end of the lease. That soured several potential outside bidders for the Bills. But he's a mean old d-bag so it doesn't count.

1) Pegula said specifically Brandon's role is strictly away from team operations. Are you saying it's not true? Got proof? 2) Brandon's role was to find revenue. The Toronto series earned the Bills $9MM/game! Three times what a home game earned. You can debate what effect it had on the players, but from a revenue standpoint it was genius. 3) He did hire Whaley because, you know, someone has to be the GM. 4) Rex was a bad hire. I'll give you that.

Brandon, that bastard! What depth won't he stoop to?

C'mon Taro. Lay the cards down. Connect the dots. Are you indicting Brandon for being a part of an organization that doesn't win? I've worked in radio for decades. They don't fire sales people when the ratings suck.

It's not so much a love of Brandon as a hatred of witch hunts. What's stopping you and Taro from just spilling the beans? Lay it all out. The fact he's a d-bag is not a reason. Many awful people are good at what they do. But if you can give me proof that he actually did something to hurt the team, I'm listening.

So basically you've got nothing. BTW the jealousy of GMTM being popular is hilarious. Maybe jack Eichel's in his crosshairs now?

Everyone knows Brandon sucks but no one can say why, other than to blame him for moving camp to SJF or the Toronto Series...you know, making money for the team. a.k.a. his job. <_<. I'm all ears if anyone wants to PM me and set me straight. All I know is I've read post after post of frustrated fans looking for a scapegoat. If it's not Brandon, it's Overdorf, or Berchtod, or the midget trainer, or the guy who drives the team bus.

Want more Brandon chum? He knew the Sabres were going to lose 20-30% of the season ticket base if the status quo was maintained. How's that?

So Brandon hated how "popular" Murray was? Seriously?? I smell poop.

Wild Card, tell us how you REALLY feel?

This is exactly what Brandon WANTS you to believe. Bwa-ha-ha-ha...

There's a good chace Eichel would be there with them if not for DDB.

The only thing about Darcy he was afraid to make a deal. It was like he had to win every deal which is what you should want but you have to take chances every now and then. The opposite isn't always smart either. #1 for Lehner? I questioned that move the moment he made it. He won more trades. Can't say that about GMTM.

That's one thing about Darcy. He was a better horse trader.

Brandon does his job well so he has to be fired to satisfy peoples paranoia.

Don't assume Eichel is sad today.

Yes. Jim Balsillie would love to put a second team in Ontario.

So you were good with how the Sabres were doing?

Isn't part of the equation if not DB then who? Lindy? Is he any different than Disco Dan? Sadly I think we missed our chance with "Clode" Julien, although the second Montreal calls, he'd probably dump us at the alter.

Anyone get this email from WGR today? Seriously, this was the subject line: "Do players despice playing for Bylsma?"

It's been said before but seeing the passing in the playoffs compared to the Sabres is demoralizing.

Eat s##t and die, Leafs.

fixed

I thought he wanted to give it a rest?
