Bills Owner Ralph Wilson Will Miss Home Opener

Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson will not be able to attend the home opener for the first time since taking ownership of the franchise.  The reason is interesting.

Ralph Wilson has owned the Buffalo Bills for 52 years.  He hasn't missed on home opener during that span.  His impressive streak is coming to an end due to an unfortunate incident. 

“I was in the TV room watching the finals of the French Open, I came back to the bedroom and lost my balance,” Wilson, 92, told the Buffalo News.  “I’ve been working with a trainer trying to recover.  It’s a slow process, but I’m making strides.”

That might even have been Ralph Wilson's best quote believe it or not.  Regarding the Buffalo's surprising 41-7 win against the Kansas City Chiefs last week, Wilson said, “I was shocked, along with everybody else.”
