  1. he's no Fendi Onabun...
  2. How many teams carry 4 true RBs? What would be the gameplan for the 4 of them?
  3. So....4 RBs? Is that the right number?
  4. again with the Colt McCoy stuff?? come on people...
  5. The Browns should be an unnamed team
  6. Still a bum
  7. If it wasn’t a business for him he would not have dissolved his sports business company and named himself president of both teams. He would sit back and pay some other people to do all of that, and simply bask in the glow of being an owner. as for Toronto, this was some time ago to have been revealed as a scheme Trump put his pal Mike Caputo up to really pump up the Bon Jovi group as the villains who were going to be moving the team. He in turn created the phony “12th Man Thunder” Bills backer group, who in turn went around doing anti Bon Jovi stunts at bars etc that got regional and national press. Trump didn’t have the money to outbid that group, so he hatched this scheme. Caputo recruited some locals who lived near the stadium. Trump as the instigator was kept secret by the groups local leader, who admitted to really cranking up the anti-Toronto angle, the the point where the media attention got so loud that Texas AM sued the leader for copywriter infringement. This went badly for A and M nationally so the leader of this group swindled 25 k out of the school—and then dialed up the “they will move the Bills to Toronto” volume to 11. after Pegula got the nod, the group actually continued as a sort of charity with free tickets. so, shockingly, it all turned out to be another shady business dirty pool scheme by the “strawberry blonde”. Go figure. this all came out years ago
  8. people still believe this...crazy
  9. almost 1000 yards, 8 TD total
  10. Damien Harris leads RBs in rushing yards
  11. The valuation wasn’t there years ago”. Obviously. He’s keeping them because he feels he’s really good at owning an NHL team? It’s an ego thing? seems a delusion
  12. makes no business sense. Why lose money on a refurb when you can cash out now and let the next guy put his money in that pit. owning an NFL team is the real cache. Adding the NFL is just a revenue drain in this case. he can still where meat his hat and jersey and stop by the locker room…
  13. Brown was a 1000 yard receiver in AZ--million year old Carson Palmer "made" him that. Beasley has never had a 1000 yard season. Diggs was "made" a 1000 yard receiver by Cousins. Josh hasn't made anyone a 1000 yards receiver yet.
  14. What does he gain by surrendering control to retain 25% of the team? I asked you this above. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Cash out and cheer on the team in your suite. Not be on the hook for fixing up that ratty venue too. Where's the bump?
  15. Exactly. He could be the next Aaron Lynch....
  16. the window for "how long is the window open" threads? that window never closes...
  17. Selling it gets him the entire windfall. Why keep 25%? So he can feel the thrill of a minority owner? I would take the extra 200 million or so. I give him credit for ultimately realizing going with Rex was a disaster and hiring Beane--the rest was on autopilot for Pegula. The Sabres are what happens when he doesn't luck into a Beane. my point.
  18. It's hard to miss the NHL playoffs for 12 years. The nucleus has been discussed for years... He can still hang out with the team, etc. He should let someone else own/run/be President is all. Might be better for fans as well as the team. "Almost making the playoffs in year 12" isn't a great entry for a team President/Owner's resume for sports management. And yeah, he hired Beane who drafted Allen and the rest followed. Before that he Whaley'd and Rex'd...etc.
  19. GM needs to hit 2 HRs. QB and HC....
  20. How do you know this? Anyway, fracking was his first love----and he sold that business right when it's value peaked (and has since tanked). Then he bought a team that had known playoff success and turned it into one of regular season futility. I guess he can do what he wants. Be President of the Bills and the Sabres....
  21. By finally possibly reaching league relevancy, their value is maximized--that's why it would be a smart business move to sell. He can negotiate a Pegula Family suite in perpetuity to keep the (former) PSE goal of maintaining lifestyle alive. The fans would get the possibility of a better management scenario than a husband and wife with tons of cash.
