Meh, disagree. I very much enjoy Dan Katz, and Kate is terrific. Chaps has his moments too.

That's about 4 people in a media company though lol he himself will say how much dead weight he has around. Most of their programs are in the black  or worse according to him. He openly wants to retire and leave but his business deals have legitimate clauses in them saying him and Dan have to be on otherwise it's no deal, since they're 90% of what makes barstool profitable

Yeah - that’s fair. I suppose my sense of what Barstool is is quite limited. I like the personalities associated with 2 of their products/brands. There’s presumably a whole lot of sh1t elsewhere. And he is a huge Delta Bravo.

I follow them pretty heavily. Used to be really good with just PMT and some others but they've changed a lot and now it's like a reality show TMZ

I thought he was just a guy who went around reviewing slices of pizza.

See what I mean? Wrestling heel. The guy drives conversation (hatred, whatever you wanna call it. But it's certainly not ambivalence because y'all are still talking about it.)

Nothing wrong with that, btw. This is the (sports) entertainment business.

Apparently the Jets backups defeated the starters in a scrimmage today.  27-0.

Per Graham: The Bills reportedly barred their own internal reporter, Chris Brown, from covering training camp because he violated team policies regarding how much can be disclosed about camp performances, etc.

Also, the team’s marketing staff has apparently quit (all of 3 people?).

Ironically, the Bills have been operationally competent of late.

Just keep them all away from the football operation.

Three people doesn't shock me.  The league is so active in marketing that the teams probably don't have to do much.  I'm not counting social media people, game-day atmosphere people, community relations, etc.--just pure marketing.

But I am VERY interested in knowing what made three people walk in this job market.

It was evidently the entire operational department ...?

[shrader]

Well it's not like they have tickets sales to market right now

Yep, Bass it is.

[JujuFish]

Bass is from Irmo, SC. I lived in Irmo with my aunt and uncle for a bit when I wasn't in college. Neat.  Hope he does well.

[LGR4GM]

Bills signed a CB. Probably just depth until Norman (I think) gets back.

[Kruppstahl]

Worst economy in the history of the country, global pandemic, NFL is biggest, sexiest sports business out there and these folks had their dream jobs....and they all quit together!? 

Yeah, nothing strange going on there.  

Pegula is a freaking nightmare.  

As I have said many times here, we Sabres fans (and probably Bills fans too) are now in an era where all we can do is wait for Pegula to die or sell the team.  The Bills were stuck in exactly this same rut for 20 years.

Serious question:  do you not think the Bills are generally in a good place right now?

And if you do think they are in a good place -- why is it not likely that the Sabres will eventually get there too?

The reality is that if they are any good at marketing, working for an NFL team is not their “dream” job. They might have thought that when they applied but they would have quickly realized there were few perks with the job and it was a no win situation. Every team sells out, merchandise flies off the shelf. Exactly what do you even need marketing people for? The best of them will effect less then  1 percent of the overall revenue the team  generates.

Not likely for the Sabres to because the Bills were a blind squirrel in the hiring of Brandon Beane.  Here’s to hoping Kevyn Adams is the next.... ?

Maybe @john wawrow will expand on this Tweet in a future report. 

I take these reports as a troubling sign.
