- Pat_McGroder abstract "Patrick J. McGroder, Jr. (1904–1986) was an American football executive. He served as the interim general manager of the Buffalo Bills in 1983. McGroder was instrumental in bringing the Bills to Buffalo. After the previous Bills franchise in the All-America Football Conference was denied membership in the NFL, McGroder continued to lobby the NFL to bring a team to the city; such was his renown that it was McGroder, and not Ralph Wilson, who was Lamar Hunt's first choice to own the Buffalo American Football League franchise (Wilson was instead to own a team in Miami), but McGroder declined, thinking that the threat of the AFL would be enough for the league to expand to Buffalo. When the NFL again passed Buffalo up, and Wilson was unable to put his AFL team in Miami, Wilson and McGroder met, eventually agreeing to establish the modern Buffalo Bills. McGroder negotiated the lease with War Memorial Stadium and was rewarded with a position on the team's payroll in 1961. McGroder is included on the Bills' Wall of Fame in Ralph Wilson Stadium. According to a write-up in the Olean Times Herald, McGroder was a liquor store owner who had no qualifications for the general manager position other than being a crony of Wilson's and a fan of the team; fan discontent with McGroder was so intense that when he was placed on the Bills' wall of fame in 1985, the fans openly booed him.McGroder died January 15, 1986, shortly after his retirement.".
