RCW at half. Really.

The Bills announced that owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. will receive his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring in a ceremony at halftime of Sunday's game against Houston. Fellow HOF Class of 2009 inductee Bruce Smith will receive his ring at halftime of the Miami game on Nov. 29. The presentation of the HOF ring at a game in the fall is part of the Hall's tradition in honoring its inductees. The Hall had announced that Wilson was going to get his ring at halftime of the Cleveland game three weeks ago but that ceremony never came off. Wilson informed the Hall the Friday before the game that he did not want to do it that day. THis time it's on, the Bills say.

Just BOOO Loudly for the entire halftime show!!!! Show the old man no respect! He doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame! He was not a great player and as an owner he is a total LOSER!!!!

BOOOOOO him!

This organization is so classless. No wonder they have been such a greasefire for so long.

This seems like a textbook move from the Dan Snyder School of Management.

Make sure you tell Thurman that's going to happen this time. It's a long walk to the field from the suite.

All 70,000 fans at this game should BOOO Ralph non stop for the entire half time show. Don't give the person introducing Ralph a chance to be heard and certainly do not give Ralph a chance to spew more lies and nonsense (such as he brought back Mauron b/c the team was making progress - after 3 straight 7-9 seasons!).

Just BOOO the old man nonstop!!!!

Of course, after Matt Schaub has thrown two touchdowns and Steve Slaton has run for one, with a 24-6 halftime lead for Houston, how eager will 'ol Ralphie be?

I hope someone told Russ Brandon this occurring on Sunday.

A couple of wins and he knows this is the time to come down out of suite. Your a classic RW.
