I'm sure all kinds of people believe it. Particularly hard core football fans. Just no GMs, at least in my opinion. If they are disseminating false information, why would they believe others?

I don't think anyone is actually leaking info. I understand the theory of a smokescreen and what it would hope to accomplish. But no GM in their right mind is going to believe any of the supposed leaks they hear in the media. They (meaning all the GMs) know that none of their colleagues are going to believe any of it either, which makes the entire smokescreen process pointless. In my opinion (and obviously that's all it is), there is no smokescreen. There is simply no point to it.

I actually find it hard to believe that any GM listens to what the media is saying they have "on good authority" about what the other GMs are going to do. And feeling this way I'm sure they know that all the other GMs feel the same way so there is no point to creating a "smokescreen". It is all best guess stuff from the media who has to write something for people on fan boards to discuss and to collect a paycheck until there is something real to write about. Just ask yourself, if you were a team drafting at 10 or 11, would you base your decision to move up and leapfrog the Bills on something you read in the media?

Fixed. And might I add, hell no!

Yes I believe you just summed up all Bills related "news" in all outlets both amateur and professional for the past few months. But you forgot the Jills feminine hygiene.

A politician, self-serving .... naaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The way I read it the NFL did not have to sign off. But the Bills decided they wouldn't do it without the NFLs approval.

I did not know this, thanks!

You are implying that the NFL had a say when the Bills entered into the current lease. Are you sure of this? If they did that speaks volumes as to the desire of not just Mr. Wilson, but the entire NFL to keep the Bills in Buffalo. But to the best of my knowledge, that agreement was just between the Bills and the county.

That's what I was saying in the thread about the schedule. It is brilliant for maximizing ticket sales for the season.

I'm surprised they made the Browns a bronze. They have a non-trivial local following, plus their fans travel well. But it is late November I suppose.

For me it sure would be, and you would think it would be a big deterrent to anyone. But it would be a biz decision as to how quickly they could make that up in a more lucrative market than Buffalo. Only time will tell.

If any new ownership decides to break the lease, I'm sure the county would make it anything but easy or cheap for them to do so. If for no other reason than it would be political suicide for any county politician to roll over and play dead on this issue. As to the bolded, this is a very good example. But say you are this person, you would certainly pay a penalty for breaking the lease. But after paying the penalty, where would you be living , in the original apartment or someplace else? That is, do you think the court would force you to stay in the original apartment?

I have my doubts as to how effective any of the things you mentioned would be. My thought is they are dealing with a billion dollar business and the new owners as well as the NFL will do what they feel is in the best interests or their business. Show me the money! But I agree with you in that there certainly is no harm in trying.

I'm curious, what role do you think "we" play in selecting a new owner?

The bottom line is, go or stay, in 2020, or earlier, or later, or stay in Buffalo forever, none of us have any control over that. Simply enjoy having the team in Buffalo for however long it is here. Carpe diem!

This apparently is the entire Jills document. http://www.scribd.com/doc/220066268/Jills-Glamour-Etiquette-Hygiene-Rules

He is a good looking, wholesome kid with a big following from his college days so that is probably a really good job for him.

Could be. But apparently they were on "The Today Show" (nationally televised talk show) this morning so it might take more than a couple days now.

Yes I am very pro nightcrawlers unless Bon Jovi likes them. In which case they should all rot in hell!

You are hilarious. I am pro Bon Jovi because I mentioned he had enough money to assume someone liked what he produced? And you say there is not enough "public scorn" for him because he wants to own a team and doesn't care if it stays in Buffalo NY or not? Please leave me out of your nonsensical rantings, ok? Thanks.

"A new sheriff in town" I recall a similar, if not the exact, thread title when Nix and Gailey took over. Nothing wrong with some guarded optimism, but a little early to be declaring greatness.

Cheerleaders sexually objectified? Their bodies evaluated??? How could this be?????? Look, if they were underpaid then they should sue the hell out of whoever was responsible. But being evaluated on your looks etc. is part of the gig. Anyone would have to be a moron not to know that was going to happen going in.

You mean if you are a season ticket holder they won't sell you tickets for your kids at the reduced price? If that's true I'm shocked. But pick up a couple on stubhub for even cheaper than the kids price. You can still sit together, particularly in the 2nd half.

That is absolutely true. I am a Bills fan. I used to be a football fan maybe 10-15 years ago but not any more.
