The Key To Russ Brandon’s Success

Russ Brandon would be more than willing to scream at the top of his lungs from the 38th row in the upper deck at Ralph Wilson Stadium about the pitfalls of maintaining the viability of an NFL franchise in a small market like Buffalo.

He's talked about the importance of regionalization as if it were a lifeline. There were times, to be blunt, when he implicitly lamented about the need for patience and more support from Bills fans.

But Brandon, who yesterday was named president of the Sabres, is too intelligent of a man not to be well aware of the obvious number one determining factor -- past, present and future -- in his success or failure.

Winning.

Think about it. After all of the fierce marketing efforts and initiatives that were implemented by Brandon, why did the Bills have fewer season ticket holders seven years after he was hired for his first high-level executive position with the team in 2006?

Do you think seven straight losing seasons may have had something to do with it?
