May Day 10

even if true... the vote has nothing to do with relocation.

I dont get it, why would Kraft or Jones say no?

my guess is that Pegula's people have contacted them and the thing will be re-skinned for a cutting edge fan group/club for the team. Perhaps a fundraising thing for new facilities, but in return for money, contributors will get collectables and experiences from the team.

i may be wrong, but I believe that NFL money is in the form of a loan?

Pegulas with a statement too. "...Singular Goal: To Win a Super Bowl for Our Fans..."

Unanimous without a doubt.

He may retire now due to the extension of staying in Buffalo hotels 1x a year

Through all this. Watching the NFL bloat over the years and feeling left behind. The huge concerts/parties at opening night and the Super Bowl with pop culture stuff that are over my and Buffalo's head. The lack of any attention or primetime games. Being irrelevant. Brandon shoving attendance woes down our throats... Then the uneasiness of the Toronto Series, especially in the beginning along with Wilson's not-so-easing words about the future. And the loss of the influential figures who were going to be in our corner when push comes to shove: Russert, Jack Kemp, almost Jimbo... and now its over and the Bills are preserved.

the Sabres are in a VERY enviable position right now.

Sunday will and should be about Ralph Wilson. We can give him the send-off he deserves with overwhelming positivity in the air. There will be plenty of time to celebrate Pegula. people are calling WGR crying. this is great

this Sunday will (and should) be all about Ralph Wilson as owner

I was completely wrong and off base regarding Wilson over the years.

ear to ear smile

OMG OMG OMG

John Kryk gets the MVP from me.

negativo is positivo

It has nothing to do with it. People outside Buffalo dont really care... its not a blip. Especially because they are stayin', while the Ray Rice thing is saturated everywhere.

that is not a correct statement. Summing it up quickly. He came in. Felt like he can just throw money around and it was the ticket to success. Ended up magnifying the management's shortcomings. UFAs still didnt want to come to Buffalo. Figured out that his management was bad and gutted it and started fresh, accumulating many picks and prospects as assets. Knows that winning must get primed first, then UFAs come. Also building an entire hockey culture in WNY (Harbor Center, Canisius, Combine, etc...) edit: hahahaha! the Bills and sabres ownership joke. Excellent!

will there be any announcement at all though? I would think there are various formalities including the October owners' meeting to pass before anything formal. Maybe it will 'leak' that he his bid has been selected by the trust with little or no details.

I still can't fathom a world where the bills are secure long term with an owner obsessed with winning

I have sat at games thinking of how I'm going to explain to my infant son what having an nfl team here was like

While no bow... We could know they intend to sell to pegula awaiting various formalities

it looks like they pared down the 8 from last round to 5 now.
