Galisano= 1.2B
Jacobs= 1.0B
Rich= 1.9B
Trump= 2.9B (I only bring up Trump because he used to own the Las Vegas team that Jim Kelly played for, might actually be one of the silent investors Kelly is claiming to have in his pocket)

It could happen. The Walrus left Seattle to take a year off. Has said it would take him being GM AND Coach to come back. If he could get that in Buffalo it would be a great setup for him. Small market like Green Bay. Rabid fan base. We're down, he can build us up and be a hero. Likes cold weather football. Ralph is itching to bring a good coach in here and knows he needs a new GM too. Kill 2 birds with one stone.
Downside is the Walrus pretty much failed at this in Seattle and had to give up the GM role and be only coach. Seattle suffered though many 8-8, 7-9, and 9-7 seasons before hitting it big in 2005. Maybe he learned something.
He's also good at bringing along young QBs. Anyone heard of Brett Favre and Matt Hasselback? Just what the doctor ordered.
I say do it.
We can only wish for 8-8 and 9-7 seasons. LOL

Man, there has to be some stupid people in the area. Dont they read? The Bills are leaving either way. The franchise is valued at $909 million. No one is going to pay that keep them in WNY after RW goes. They are not saving the Bills by buying tickets. They are simply over-filling Ralph's wallet and they will get no quality football in return. Dummies!
If thats the case and we do go, I will hold on to my tickets and enjoy the NFL experience (cheaply Id like to add) as long as we have the team. I was rooting for a loss yesterday and laughed at some of the absolutely horrible play by our team. But I still enjoyed my experience.

THis is another thing that has been bothering me all season. This guy is overrated. Our special teams suck. Penalties every other punt/kick return. Constantly putting our offense in a even worse position. He pulls off a fake kick for a td the first game of the year and that makes him a coaching god. He's lucky he has Moorman.
+1
Everyone loves Bobby April so much. If it wasnt for Moorman his kicking team would suck. I hate Roscoe as a WR or anything else for that matter but he CAN (keyword) be a decent punt returner. And hes lucky he had McGee returning kicks all those year.
April is no better than Dick

OK ......it is obvious that the Bills are not going to fire Jauron this week ,as a matter of fact I think we a stuck with him for the rest of the season sad as it may sound.
But it is clear that Edwards is not going to be the franchise QB we are looking for. Granted the O-line sucks but there were times that he did have time to throw and continues to not give his WRs chances.
So since we all know we are stuck with Juaron here's a few things Id like to see him do
1.Bench Trent If only for one game just to see what Fitzpatrick can do. It cant hurt anything now. Your 1-4.
2.Bench Roscoe For one game for the Saints fumble and for this weeks fumble to show some accountablity.
3. Get Steve Johnson on the active roster. To take Roscoe's place
4. huddle up..... for Gods sake Please?????
5. find a Veteran O-Lineman.......
If he did those 5 things I for one would feel a bit better. As least for the time being.
Ok fire away lol
I agree with the majority of what you say. I dont think I would care to see a vet olineman only because this season is busted at this point. We should just play the young guys as much as possible to see what we have long term if anything.
I cant believe Roscoe was not traded (maybe its because the rest of the teams in the NFL think he is a joke), weve been holding on to this scrub way too long. We are paying the guy over $2million/year to return punts and kicks. Last I checked that was a spot that most teams give to their young players that have talent and give them a chance to showcase it. Roscoe will never be anything more than a punt returner. He will be in the NFL for a few more years but his name will be lost just like Dante Hall. Yeah, he still plays but no ones heard from him for years.
Steve Johnson played pretty well last year down the stretch of the season. He should absolutely be getting in ASAP to get more work and experience. The fact that he is not is a joke.
I dont give a crap if we huddle up ever again. Makes no difference to me. In fact many times I noticed they were huddling up yesterday in a half a$$ed way. They just all congregate around where the RB i positioned. Usually TO opts not to be in the congregation. Yesterday it was Lee Evans. He prolly figured that he wouldnt catch a pass yesterday anyway because Trent sucks. I feel bad for Lee, at least TO only has to deal with it for a year. Lee has years of this crap.
Im all for benching Trent because im officially done with him. The only problem with that is what if Fitzpatrick wins 50% of his games? Does that save Dicks job another year?
What if Dick gets fired and Bobby April comes in and wins 50% of the games? Do we get stuck with Bobby April next year? I dont really know how I feel about all this. If we get Dick fired theres a chance who ever takes over might actually impress Ralph. Then we get a full 2010 season of 53 special teamers like Roscoe Parrish, Justin Jenkins, and John Corto's. Guys that are fine on special teams but cant fill in for an actual position anywhere else.
-
to all those that defended dick jauron, to those that defended ralph, to those that defended the glove wearing mary, i ask you, do you now see the light?
YES. I have since the Dolphins game been believing we are absolutely horrible.
How much time are we going to give Trent and Dick?
We gave JP 33 games at starter and gave up on him much sooner than Trent.
I cant imagine how that conversation with Ralph went at the end of last season to convince Ralph he should keep his job.
-
And bad teams usually have bad players who make bad decisions that result in themselves or those around them getting injured. Ladies and gentlemen...your Buffalo Bills...
This may actually have some truth to it.
-
I will continue to go to Buffalo Bills games for as long as we have a team no matter how bad they are. I love the sport, the game experience and the tailgating. For you to tell us that we are wrong for wanting to go is rediculous. If anything we are helping by having more fans boo their performance. Ive never heard so many boos before at the stadium. Ralph is listening. If we really want to make changes we need the fans that are there to be as loud as possible when it comes to the boo'ing and showing their displeasure with the team.
-
I appreciate your position, and I have no need/desire to convert people to my side of the argument.
When it comes to Peters, I actually don't love the guy. I don't even like him (other than his famous post-game "they don't think it be like it is, but it do" quote--my closest friend got that one on tape in the locker room and we listened to it about 500 times that evening), and I have never started a thread about him or his holdout (save for the one I started when I found the DK Turtle sack analysis thing b/c I hadn't seen in on here and thought people may want to decide for themselves). I think that's the part that made the ball stroker comment irk me so much. I merely defend his ability and his stance because I believe that (1) guys with that level of talent are rare, (2) he didn't deserve to be making 1/10 the salary of a rookie playing the same position, (3) this team had been without a quality LT since before I could legally operate a motor vehicle, and (4) I think he could've been a great long-term asset for this franchise...and now we'll never know.
I really don't know why people continue to bring him up, starting threads that end up like this one. As for my part, I'm guilty of always reading these threads...but then again, I read pretty much every thread that isn't marked with a title that makes it seem like it spawned from someone's backside entry-way. When I see a comment I vehemently agree or disagree with, I feel compelled to comment, as many of us do. And so I read this one and found some false information and we all know the story from there.
I don't appreciate the way Peters handled his business, but I also feel that players holding out/pining for new contracts is a fact of life in today's NFL. It happens on every team. Some teams are more equipped to deal with life without said player than others, and I've always felt that the Bills weren't one of the well-equipped teams when it came to Peters. Sometimes, even if it seems wrong, I believe organizations have to make exceptions to keep their best players happy and productive (i.e. the Bills' handling of Schobel's contract when he felt underpaid after Kelsay got his big deal, despite the fact that he had 3 years remaining on it). For failing to do that, I place the blame on the organization.
And don't sweat the comment, nothing a few cold ones won't fix
I enjoy arguing with you Bandit. You make it fun. I do agree that JP is a talent and shoudl have been signed. Like you, I also believe this days NFL is filled with hold-outs and contract disputes on every team, every year. However, I still believe that the player is in charge of how they handle the situation regardless of what their agents say. Im sure Michael Crabtree is happy he is now signed but it still looks like his situation was mishandled the very same agent as JP. Ill be at the game on Sunday if you feel like stopping by for a beer. Let me know.

You're a funny guy, mrags. Again, you might try reading the thread before making ignorrant statements like:
Bandit also didnt comment about how the link he provided doesnt mean anything when your talking about how a player is rated.
Umm, mragsy, what would you call this bit, from post #59: I'm not really interested in the ratings, the sack stats were mentioned by Senator (Peters giving up 4), and I used this site to refute them.
Or this one, from post #115, which was in DIRECT RESPONSE to one of your posts: We've been through this already. I could give a darn about their rankings, the stats are accurate.
What I asked for is not a link to Peters saying that he thought about his contract, or that it affected his play. You didn't say that, so why would I need a link to that. We all know that quote exists, my point (since you are--in direct contradiction to my initial impression of you--unable to read and process what I've written to you time and again) is that it's pretty pathetic fodder for you (and Senaturd, and others) to make blanket statements like:
he didn't want to be here (based on what? the fact that he cares about his salary--gasp)
he has a bad work ethic (based on what? the fact that he cares about his salary--gasp)
he badmouthed the team (still waiting on this one...the closest I've got is Peters saying that the team didn't give him a new contract worth $10M/year...ummm, isn't that a concrete, incontravertible fact? or are we ignoring those now too?)
thus, I asked you to show me where he said/did those things, and the best you can come up with is him saying that he thought about his contract, even during games. Wow...compelling stuff.
As for my response to the PFF rankings, which I already stated (at least twice in this very thread--which you somehow managed to skip over or ignore in your rush to call me a ball-washer/ball-stroker...very eloquent, by the way) I don't put a lot of stock into, you can find the reasoning right on the site with very, very little effort. But since that's apparently beneath you (or you simply lack the ability to click a mouse--which I highly doubt), I'll provide the link:
http://profootballfocus.com/about.php?tab=about#grad3
As for my next point of rebuttal: I respectfully ask you to not put words in my mouth (could also be referred to as "Senaturdial tactics"--although yours are at least more articulate than the uber-intelligent Senaturdial vernacular of "blah"), since I don't remember ever saying that Peters deserved to be in the pro bowl. I do remember, however, saying that obviously someone felt that way, since he made it there (or is that up for debate as well? Perhaps the fact that he was voted in was my imagination, that at least would make sense given your argument). I also don't remember claiming that I can predict the future, which you claimed in your last post. Perhaps for your next feat you'd like to tell me what I'll be eating for dinner tonight? No? Well, allow me to do that for you: you'll be eating...your words, as you said you'd do in this post (above) if you were wrong about the Peters offer. The only article I ever saw regarding Buffalo's offer to Peters was in the $8.5M/year range, and he signed for $10M+/year in Philadelphia, so eat up (don't worry, I'll come back and post a link once I find it--EDIT: here, it can easily be inferred from the attached: http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/606369.html# Obviously, since Peters was looking for $10M+, and eventually signed for $10M+, and the two sides were about $3M apart, well, hopefully ou can do the math from there).
I also don't recall saying that Peters was the second coming of Christ, but hey, misquoting me has never bothered you before, so go ahead and sling some other BS while you're at it.
Wrapping things up--no matter how you slice it, this discussion comes down to this (and I bet this will sound familiar, since I've already pointed it out twice--but then again, we already know you didn't read through the thread):
Senaturd made up a stat, and I corrected him by providing a link. When the integrity of that link was questioned (by you and others) I provided links to NFL.com game logs that confirmed Senaturd's statement as BS. You (and others) obviously didn't like that, since it took away part of the platform on which you grind your Peters-spurned axe, and so you responded with the typical insulting vitriole.
I like you, mrags, and at one point I considered you a good poster. But when you feel like you have to launch a profane, personally-insulting tirade to prove a point that doesn't exist, I tend to lose a little of that respect (I don't think calling someone a "ball-stroker" is a really good way to debate intelligently). You might try, next time, basing your arguments on facts, it'll work a whole lot better than this garbage.
Peace.
Based on your post# 17 it sounded like you were ready to back up the fact that he was the best LT in the league at this point.
"According to these guys, he's allowed 1 sack in 3 games and is the highest overall rated lineman in the NFL. That doesn't seem like failure to me... "
For what its worth I do consider you a good poster and we both know that we disagree with each other on this topic. I guess Im the one in the wrong for coming to a "hail Peters" thread and expect to win an argument.
I just dont see the point in everyone loving this guy. He had 1 good year and held out. Hes not on the team anymore. End of list. Why should we bother to keep bringing it up. We all know the FO sucks and makes horrible decisions. I wanted to keep Peters too. However the way he handled his situation was wrong. That was proven by Lee Evans coming to camp and the Bills resigned him. Same thing they promised Peters if he showed up and he didnt.
And sorry for calling you a ball stroker.
Have a good night
-
Because "Those who cannot remember their past are condemned to repeat it." Santayana said that, and he was dead on.
If you forget this, either way, whether it turns out in the long run to have been a good or a bad move, you let Russ and the FO off the hook. MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!! Never forget.
And as for Bell being better than Peters, yeah, right. The question is whether he will become an upper-echelon LT. He might, and let's continue hoping that he does.
I do make them accountable. The owner, GM, coach, coordinators, and QB. I find them all guilty of putting crap on the field every week. Im sick of this team losing and its never going to get any better as long as the above mentioned are still involved in the decision making at OBD.
I never said Bell was better than Peters, all I said was after 4 games its pretty hard to come to that answer.
Of course Bandit wrote this long post that tried to deny everything I had to say about Peters and the way he acted and played when he left Buffalo. He continues to ask for links for proof. And time and time again someone if not myself provides links to that facts that Peters even admitted in his interview with the Eagles that the contract dispute effected his play. So I decided to link that again for everyone just so Bandit can shut the F^$K about it until his next ball stroking Peters thread.
Bandit also didnt comment about how the link he provided doesnt mean anything when your talking about how a player is rated. Yes, its true that JP has only given up 1 sack. At no point did I ever say 4. I never argued that. But at one point Bandit did say that JP was rated as the #1LT on the very same site. At that point I stated what everyone else on this board will believe is absolute crap. If you look up QB's you will see that Trent Edwards is rated as the #8 QB in the league. Its pretty obvious someone at that site doesnt know what the F*&K they are talking about. Then I also commented on how there are LT's that have 0 sacks but are rated below Peters. Why is it that Peters is rated at #1 (which Bandit pointed out) when there are LT's that have given up less sacks? Of course the response will be that you cannot rate sacks given up, and at that point I will state that it goes both ways. If they cannot be rated then whos to say that someone like Peters that has only 1 sack didnt actually give up all 3 that the Eagles have this year?
Ive seen multiple sites that credit Peters with 11.5 sacks last year and all rated him 31 or 32 out of starting LT's last year. That may be the case, he may have given up that many sacks, or he may have given up 0. Either way we all watched him play and most of us (except the major JP strokers like Bandit) agree that he did not deserve to make the pro-bowl. He was traded because (all speculation on my part) the FO felt that they couldnt sign him and he would be another hold-out after a year he regressed from 07 after holding out all camp then too. They got what they could for him at the time. I dont remember this exactly but didnt we offer him somewhere around the 10/yr range and didnt he sign for that with Philly? I could be wrong and if I am I will eat my words, but it made it look at the time like he didnt want to be here all along.
Judging JP and the Eagles vs the Bills and our rookie and backup led offensive line is just rediculous to argue in the first place. Anyone in the world would take the Eagles line over ours any day of the week. That doesnt mean that JP is the next coming of Christ.

"And then I was trying to get a contract done. If you're human, that's going to affect you. Sometimes I'd be thinking about it too much."
-
Let's face it, this season is 6 and 10 at best. If we can get a 3rd round pick for TO, I say go for it.
Id take a 6 pack and a pizza for Roscoe Parrish, throw TO in for a 4th even. It clears up cap room and gives us something for next year when the new coaching staff takes over.
-
As much as I appreciate you trying to dismiss an argument based on QB rankings that have nothing to do with this thread, you may choose to read the whole thread next time before you comment. We've been through this already. I could give a darn about their rankings, the stats are accurate. He's given up 1 sack. NFL.com game logs confirm this.
I don't care what the QB rankings are, the fact remains that Peters gave up 1 sack. Period.
So I guess your retort, and thus your counter-argument, are now crap.
In the famous words of yourself, read the entire thread. My next post explains all of that.
I respect your opinion Bandit, I just dont see why we should care anymore. Its over with now. Were not getting him back. And to say that JP is better than Bell after just 4 games, and only 2-3 with Bell starting/playing we dont really know jack at this point.
-
Exactly when did Peters demand that a certain percentage of the team's cap be dedicatd to himself? I don't remember that. you seem to be concerned that Buffalo, a team that had almost $20M of cap room, would be spending half of that room on one player (their ONLY pro bowl player). Forgive me if I don't share that concern.
And yes, I do consider the off-field act of holding out to be the same, regardless of how a player performs on the field. You to called Peters out for holding out of training camp, and I simply stated that holding out is holding out, no matter who it is or how a guy performs. Bruce held out just like Peters, only he did it repeatedly.
If you're going to claim that the situations are different, can I then assume that you'd have no issue with Peters' holdout if he had played his best football in 2008?
Didnt Lynch make the pro-bowl last year? Pretty sure that happened. And if you really want to continue to think JP made the pro-bowl legitamately and earned it you are fooling yourself.
Then you pointed out that Bruce unlike Peters held out repeatedly. Peters held out an entire off season in 08 and if we hadent traded him in 09 it was rumored that he planned to hold out again.
I still say that we should/could have resigned Peters if we had a little bit of insight to how good he might have been, or maybe we were under the impression that he would play out the contract that was already reworked that he signed. I know, its different because he originally signed as an UFA TE then moved to RT where he signed his contract and was underpaid for one of the premier LT's in the league. He still signed his contract though, and should have honored it. The Bills said if he got into camp they would talk about his deal and he never came in. They also told Lee Evans the same thing and he is signed long term now.
The jury is still out on Peters. Yes he is better than what we have now (thats not saying much) but to say he will not hold out again, or that he will be this dominant LT for the rest of his career is a joke. No one knows that for sure. Since you think you can predict the future can you please tell us when the Bills will get into the playoffs so I know when I should start watching games again?
You stated multiple times throughout this post that the rest of the site you linked shows that Peters is the #1 rated LT based on the fact that he has allowed 1 sack this year. You also have stated in previous posts that sacks given up is an unmeasurable stat. Im not going to look for a link, but we all know how you feel on the stat since that has been your only argument to JP giving up 11.5 sacks last year. It is also funny that JP is rated #1 among LT's in the league in the link you posted but Donald Penn of Tampa Bay has 0 sacks allowed but is rated #4. Whos to say any other LT in the league shouldnt be rated above Peters if they have similar or better statistics?
As you stated before, sacks are an unmeasurable stat and that is why the NFL does not record them. Its very clear as we all saw JP last year that he didnt deserve to be in the pro-bowl. Ruben Brown didnt deserve to go to Hawaii all those years he did either but he was a fan/league favorite. Its very possible that the rest of the players/coaches in the league voted JP in because they knew he deserved a bigger contract which is very true. But, he handled his business poorly during the holdout and it showed last season. He wasnt even close to as dominant as he was in 07, and again missed games due to injury (which happened to be at the end of the year when we were out of the playoff hunt), I still question his work ethic to this day.
I was in favor of signing JP for just about anything he was asking at first as he proved he deserved it, but the longer the holdout continued, and the attitude he had during the entire situation he proved that he didnt want to be here. JP showed no love for the Bills, the fans, the city of Buffalo while he was here, or after he left. He badmouthed the team and showed no class. He is gone now, we are done with the Jason Peters era in Buffalo. Can we just leave it alone now? Its obvious the Bills havent made the best decisions in the past few years. Chalk this one up to something that could/should have been but wasnt.
-
Senator, I know you hate Peters, but shouldn't the facts have something to do with your assessment? Your numbers are waaaaaaaay off:
http://profootballfocus.com/by_position.ph...&numgames=1
According to these guys, he's allowed 1 sack in 3 games and is the highest overall rated lineman in the NFL. That doesn't seem like failure to me...
Bandit,
That link also says that Edwards is the 8th rated QB. Your link and argument is now crap.
-
My guess is all of those coaches are too expensive for Ralph unless he decides before he dies he has one last thing on his "bucket list" and thats actually pay for a decent coach. My guess is either some young coordinator that is hot this year or possibly Brian Bellick. Prolly just as good as a few on that list and most likely cheaper than all of them by quite a bit. Except maybe Marty. I loved the thought of Marty a few years ago but hes been out of the league for a bit now, and hes old as dirt. Not sure he would still have it. Hes still better than Dick tho.
-
Paper bags will be worn by some people starting this weekend im pretty sure.
How about we all sneak in FOR SALE signs? just imagine a few thousand fans with Hunt or Realty USA signs all over the stadium
-
At this point, with the Bills a putrid 1 & 3 and all, I would like nothing more than to see the Bills lose to the Browns on Sunday. Hell, I don't mind watching them lose just enough games to get Jauron and the entire FO fired! Even if it means we don't win another game all season.
Nothing will ever change with these clowns running the show. Every time I watch the Bills play I see nothing but an inept, rag-tag, sorry ass, no game plan having, under-prepared bunch of buffoons. They run a sorry excuse of a program. It's an embarrassment.
This is nothing new around here. The vast majority here already know these guys are responsible for all the losing and would like nothing more than to see some guys that are good at what they do wearing Buffalo blue, white, and red. These guys, although intelligent off the field, are complete morons on it. I cant wait to see them go! I will throw a freaking party that starts on Friday and ends on Monday when this finally happens!
I know I'll get flamed for saying this, but I'd like to see the Bills lose, and you know what, I don't care. You can question my loyalty to the Bills all you want. I know it's not true. I'm not shy to say I want the Bills to tank it-bad!
As a matter of fact, I want to make a prediction. Jauron will not be fired, he will resign. Whether it's by force or not, I don't know. I'm not even sure it will happen during the season or later in the off season.
Every time the Bills lose this season I will have a smile on my face. And so should you.
Completely agree with the post. Except I dont have a smile on my face when they lose. I do want them to lose until something happens but deep down I still like watching a win. Thats whats so hard about this decision. You have to love the team a ton to want them to lose just so that our future might bring better days under new management.
I also feel that after a few more loses Dick might actually resign. I know that would be rediculous to think someone would actually do that when they are making millions of dollars. I just feel he is so high on character that he might be disgusted with himself.
Heres to going to the game on Sunday with a paper bag over my head
At least tailgating is still really fun 
Oh wait, with the way this team is playing its more like-
-
Isn't that the definition of a rumor? I think you mean to say I couldn't care less. Just saying.
Ill say it again. I never posted this to spread rumors. I understand this is a rumor, and most likely a bulls&$t one at that. If you got back to my original post I even said I thought it was BS. I was stating this information in case someone else wanted to know or maybe someone else heard the same thing and could verify. In fact there were posters that contacted me personally that wanted to know more information and wanted to try and verify this as well.
I am now done with this post. Im not going to come back to this post again. It didnt happen at least not that everyone here on TBD is aware of at this time, so I will shut my mouth admit that it was complete BS (like I thought in the first place) and go back to work.
Thank you all for pointing out things that I was already aware of and admitted in my very first post. You are all genius's and should be proud of yourselves.
-
I heard a rumor too. I heard that if when this crap turns out to be some bull you're spreading around to gain attention, that you'll be going on vacation.
Now I'm not saying it's true, just something I heard. And like you, I take no responsibility for anything that just happens to come out of my mouth. It was somebody else's fault.......
I never posted this to spread a rumor. Just wanted to give everyone some insight on what I heard. Never did it for attention either. I could really care less about what most of the people on this board think of me. I thought maybe someone would want to know. My mistake.
Everyone can go back to complaining about Trance Checkwards, Dick Juron, Marshawn Lynch, TO, Lee Evans, Poz, Aaron Schobel, Chris Kelsey, Ralph Wilson, Russ Brandon right after they read this post. Oh and dont forget to stir up old crap about how you thought Flutie was better than Johnson, JP was better than Trent, Collins was killed by the coaching staff and how you heard from somewhere that Kelly is secretly involved with Galisano, Jacobs, Rich, Buffett, Trump and working out specifics on how they are going to buy the team.
More than half of the crap on this board is rumors. Dont shoot the messenger. My opinion is if someone doesnt like it they dont have to read it, or respond.
-
And no Im not SKOOBY. Ive been here since before he left and have been making jokes about what kind of cars the informant drives just like the rest of you. If you all want to know I drive an Oldsmobile Alero, my friend drives a Ford Edge, and I would guess the limo driver drives...well, a limo.
-
I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. This fully qualifies me to announce that:
Jon Gruden is INDEED the new Bills head coach, to be announced just before the coin toss on Sunday. He will be joined by Tony Dungy, Bill Cowher and Mike Shanahan, all new assistant coaches. And Jesus Himself is going to be VP Personnel/Operations. We can't lose.
Teddy Bruschi is coming to Buffalo to be the VP of Personnel/Operations?
Sweet, we cant lose now!!!
-
All I did was post what I heard. I told you all to believe what you wanted. If you didnt want to read it then dont read it. I said myself I didnt believe it. Just stating something I heard from a friend.
-
OK, Im not going to go on record and say I think this is true, or is going to happen. I am simply stating information that I received from a freind. If its false I take absolutely no responsibility for spreading lies, however if its true I want everyone to bow down to me.
LOL. really, its just what I heard. take what you want from it. Like I said I didnt believe it either I just wanted to point it out and see if anyone else has heard anything.(incoming text)
-A work buddys freind drives a limo and says hes picking up Gruden tomorrow and taking him to One Bills Drive
(reply)
-All lies. How come it's always a freind of a freind? It's BS, dont believe it
(incoming text)
-The limo company needs to know who they are picking up. He could also be coming her to do some kind of story
(reply)
-Tell your buddy to tell his freind to get pics and then people will beleive him. Tell him to prove it by facts
Thats it, call it what you want. Im simply reporting rumors at this point.
Bills move to LA??

From previous peoples posts on this board they are saying it would cost over 2.5 times the worth of the team to move the team. So my question to you would be who in their right mind would pay over $2Billion for a team nowdays? $1Billion is a freaking lot of cake and you think someone will pay more than double that just to move the team to a new market like LA that has failed time and time again? Or a city like SA where no one has any idea if a team would be successful in a market that has never had an NFL team. Didnt they do that with the Jaguars? How has that worked out so far?
My point is that there are businessmen that can, or at one point in time wanted a piece of an NFL franchise. Again, going back to previous posts the NFL, Owners, and even the city and government would have a say where this team should end up regardless of who is the highest bidder when Ralph passes.
For you to think you are 100% sure the team will be moving when everything goes down is just as rediculous to think that we will defenately stay. No one knows. My guess is that its going to be a major fight on both sides but who at this point can pony up $2+Billion for new team/stadium in their city with the way the economy is right now?
