Sinopsis
Ralph C. Wilson Jr., one of the longest-tenured owners in NFL history, brought professional football to Buffalo. Despite the many economic challenges of the region and lucrative offers to relocate, the franchise never left. Wilson was one of the most influential owners in the NFL during his 54 years in the league and was a significant player in catapulting the NFL to unforeseen heights as the number one spectator sport in America. It was his visionary leadership that helped make that possible. He also was a decorated veteran of World War II, was an extremely successful businessman beyond football, and had an extraordinary record in philanthropy.
Wilson was the conscience of the NFL, ensuring the league owners made decisions in the best interest of the league, and he was at the heart of every major decision the NFL made during his era. This is his story, but it is also the story of the AFL's fight for survival, the AFL/NFL merger, the groundbreaking collective bargaining agreements in 1993 and 2010, and his beloved Buffalo Bills. His success came from a steely determination, a resilience, a willingness to listen, and a strong sense of humor.
As former Bills quarterback Jack Kemp said, "He was one of the finest owners in the history of professional football and as responsible as any owner for the success of the American Football League and the National Football League."
