  1. thx .... seems u had it first ....i can change ....
  2. Exactly; the FO created this mess, hopefully they continue to fix it. No harm bringing in Pryor for a look.
  3. Excerpt from NBC sports article this morning: "Those numbers aren’t final, and the Forbes report suggested they’re so low that the league might want to scuttle the sale process and start over. But it does point to what has been reported previously, that Pegula was the front-runner to buy the team." The league can't do that, correct?
  4. Not to get entirely off topic, however, why has the stadium group not reported their findings yet? Does this have any connection with the bidding process or does it remain independent? Thx
  5. Per PFT : Hope I did this correctly - if not, see yahoo news Bills buyers have until July 29 to indicate interest | ProFootballTalk.html
  6. If this has been addressed, pardon me. How does the bidding process work? Does a perspective owner have the opportunity to increase his bid or is it one and done? Does the highest bid have to be taken or does the trust have options? Thanks. PS..... El Pegul appears to be the best choice for the team, fans, city and region!
  7. ..... Double thanks to both of you!... Sorry, meant to add this post : As a Canadian and a die hard Bills fan, I will not support a team outside of Buffalo or Western NY I The majority of Canadians I believe wouldn't want this to happen too. First Toronto isn't even close to being the Entire face of Canada. In fact the majority of Canadians don't support Toronto Teams. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs (Cough Ack yuck) have quite a few fans outside of Toronto. Other teams are not followed by a high population, especially out west, where we all Hate everything Toronto. So there would not be a whole country cheering for them. look at Toronto baseball games for example.. people travel (once again no accounting for some tastes) from all over the country to see the Maple Leafs because they have a huge fan base as an original 6 team. Nobody lines up for Jay games.. I won't support any team from Toronto doesn't matter what sport, and plenty of Canadians not just football fans think like that. Plus nobody mentions we have this thing called the Canadian Football League up north, sure it only makes around a 150 million annually in Canada which is chump change, compared to the NFL. You stick a NFL Team in Toronto and it would kill Toronto's CFL team, which would end up hurting the CFL . The NFL won't let that happen, the CFL is too important to the NFL to let that happen. Around 15 years ago the Canadian Football needed help staying out of debt. The NFL gave a huge cash donation for that because they recognized the value of having a place where football players could develop. Yes the ration on teams has to be I think around 50-55% Canadian but there has been quite a few NFL athletes that got there start in the CFL Cameron Wake, Jeff Garcia Doug Flutie Warren Moon. I love the Bills but I certainly wound't cheer for them in Canada and I wouldn't even support the NFL in Canada . Don't get me wrong folks I love the NFL, and I love the Bills. I learned to have the best of both Worlds. as I was raised by Americans ( Cherry Creek NY) who immigrated to Canada. Every time we visited my grandfather I would watch Bill games with him and I Became unlike most Canadians I like the rest of my family became a football fan first hockey fan second. Not every Canadian is a Leaf or Habs fan, my first NHL game was a Sabre game, where I got to see Gretzky break a record its how I became an Oilers fan Just like Not every Canadian wants the Bills or the NFL here The NFL though belongs in the USA, and the CFL in Canada, it' just how it should be
  8. Hopefully they find a full-time gig for Sal before he is recognized by a bigger market and leaves for greener pastures ..... as for the others, you folks have said it all.
  9. reading for years .... post hardly ever ....So, its draft day, new ownership around the corner (all billionaires), governor is in on keeping them in WNY, the community rallying around JK, 140 million in renovations at the Ralph ....and you are depressed?!?!? Come on .... stop, just stop ..... there's a lot to be positive about ... and its not just the Bills ....
