  1. That wish came true back In the 2008 opening game, as Brady took a hit from the Chiefs D, and suffered a knee injury knocked him out for the season.

    Which then prompted the NFL to make another room Brady rule.

  2.  

    Of note, in the linked article is the following:

    And I want to retire when I'm 40. Brady can want all he wants but history shows most qbs don't last that long. New or old NFL. You make it to your upper 30s and you're an exception to the rule. Kind of like fj.

  3. The unknown is what haunts me regarding the sale process and the trustee's obligations --- when I heard the two Mary's were on the 4-member trust, I thought it was a done deal that they would sell to a buyer who wanted to keep team in Buffalo --- as more time passed, I'm puzzled that theory wasn't validated with any factual knowledge of the trust itself. The fact that NDA's were sent to Toronto based groups suggest there is no local obligation and that it might simply be an open bid, if that's the case I have fear that the Toronto groups will come high and hard with a substantial offer. If Tannebaum can't do it, Rogers can. It would be a sad ending to Ralph's legacy if his wife sells team to a group that moves it, but, it's possible. I still hope the Mary's have Buffalo in their hearts and take the highest bid from amongst the groups wanting to keep it hear. I can't imagine the backlash if it's announced they sold it to Rogers. It would get ugly very quickly.

    It would get ugly quick but I would assume that anyone with the right amount of money would have been contacted that has show interest/intent. Whether the portfolio follows their intentions or not is another question. Rogers could through "stupid money" but the trustees are Ralph's widow, Ralph's niece, Ralph's confidant and Ralph's lawyer. I get the feeling that at least 2 out of 4 are going to be committed to him and his legacy. Littman is a toss up and we all know how lawyers are ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$).

  4. I wonder if the Bills move to Toronto, will they play one game a season in Buffalo to "regionalize" the franchise??????

     

    Will the "Torontonians" HATE the idea of giving up a home game????

     

     

     

    jus sayin' ..... :bag:

    Then we can all become dolphin's fans and go to TO for the game and get drunk and talk with weird accents and not say EH? after everything. This will be my destiny if the team ever moves to Toronto. The sweet revenge.

  5. I get that Goodell would "take a meeting" with JBJ if requested -- but tell me the value for Goodell to have that meeting in public ? what's he to gain, in my mind, that's poor judgment on the commish's part ---

    The fact that they met publicly makes me feel more comfortable than knowing or not knowing they had a closed door meeting.

  6. is that USD or YEN?

    Deutsch marks

     

    is that USD or YEN?

     

    PLEASE someone OUTBID The Donald.

     

    I saw a bit where plastered his name on a new building in Chicago.

     

    Imagine seeing that on every trip to the Ralph!! :sick: :sick:

    You really think the don would spend money to have his name on the stadium and not roll someone over for every dime they had for naming rights?

  7. This thing will be leakier than the Titanic after the iceberg strike. I am certain we will know exactly how it is going. If it is looking bad, watch the politicians start making threats. If you hear them start that, it is time to worry.

    I'd normally agree, but in this case, since the bids are NDI, it wouldn't really be in the bidders and/or politicians best interested to start running their mouths if someone non-favorable was out in front. If the news came from a media outlet and then they started to make threats, then I could support that.

     

    But yes, I think information is going to be getting dropped quite a bit come the next few weeks.

  8. John Wawrow@john_wawrow now

    UPDATE: AP sources: #Sabress owner Terry Pegula among prospective #Bills buyers contacted by Wilson's estate. http://pro32.ap.org/article/ap-source-bills-prospective-buyers-contacted …

     

    Both TPegs and the Don have received their NDI agreements.

    So I'm curious, just because jbj and the Toronto group have the money to buy the team, is there a reason, other than them shelling out a ton of money, the trust has to contact them with bidding info?

  9. Will the bids be sealed? I don't mean to the general public (I assume we will never know what the losing bids look like), but will the competing bidders have access to what is submitted and be able to adjust accordingly? Can you adjust your bid at all?

    I would say all of this is in the wording of the bidding process that the trustees are privy to and probably only them and potential bidders.
