HOLY **** A TD!!!

Sabres down 1-0, game over
Bills down 7-0, game over
Fortunately for the Sabres the goal may be to draft 1st or 2nd Overall.
Bills not so much

I didn't read the link, but from the tweet I'd say he's right on target.
Things are lining up right on schedule.
It was a good article. Of course the obligatory sentence that it would make more financial sense for the team and the NFL for the Bills to move the Toronto was included.

Coach Sumlin, this is Terry Pegula I was wondering if could speak with you about a coaching opportunity for next season...
-
And somebody seriously has to do the bronze statue thing for Ralph.
Outside a new stadium, in the center of Founders Plaza.

Google is your friend: "Pegula lives in Boca Raton, Florida along with his wife, Kim Pegula, a graduate of Houghton College. They have five children: Michael, Laura, Jessica (Jessie), Kelly and Matthew."
Pegula has said that the teams he owns will stay in his family and get passed down to his children. If he buys the Bills then they will be in Buffalo forever
Actually Michael and Laura are children from Terry Pegula's First Marriage.
Michael lives in So. Cal. He is a former Marine and has a daughter. His twitter profile picture is him wearing a Thurman Jersey and this was posted long before the Pegula's interest in buying the team was known.
Laura is married and works for her Dad at East Resources.

Unless you have kids. Who may also have kids someday.
As painful as it has been to be a Bills fan, I think it's cool to pass on the legacy of Bills football to the next generation.
Well said

Two sources in Bills sales process believe Bon Jovi group totally falling apart. They think Tanenbaum/Rogers remaining viable unlikely.
-
Source clarifies it's a one-year deal with a one-year player option for Kyle Orton. But anticipation is it's a two-year relationship.
In other words, the Bills likely are paying Orton a nice salary in that second year, too much to walk away from.
-
Bills reportedly have made a deal with Kyle Orton. Great move for them, Orton will take over for Manuel before the season is 4 games old
Umm what?
-
Most likely will happen next year.
This has to be right.

Defense!!

Chandler slipped on that one

Joe is going to be live tweeting the game from the press box. They announced it a couple of weeks back. I think Pergament had a column about it in the News a couple weeks ago as well.
He's really good. The Pergament column seemed to indicate the team was moving away from the sideline reporter all together, because with all the commercial interruptions it was tough to get them into the broadcast
Thanks. I missed that.

Haven't seen this posted, but it appears that Sal Capaccio will be taking over as the Bills Radio Network Sideline Reporter.
https://twitter.com/SalSports/status/502960531276562432
He had been doing the Bills Postgame Show.
Anyone know what happen to Joe Buscaglia? Hopefully he remains as the WGR Bills Beat Reporter.

Will find out the Bills real worth in about 2 weeks.....
1.3 Billon. Pegula sets the record for most paid for a NFL Franchise and curries favor with the other NFL Owners by increasing the value of their franchises

In line with your approach to financing a stadium there are a number of ways that it can be done, not necessarily totally privately financed but significantly so. There have been very preliminary explorations by Jacobs that he would we willing to finance a new facility. It would be done with his company getting the concession contract. There is no doubt that if a facility is built the naming rights to it will be sold. That is another small slice of revenue that can go to the financing of the facility. The league offers low cost loans for new stadiums. That certainly is an attractive offer that can be utilized.
I use to favor a full restoration of the Ralph similar to what was done in KC. Not now. The problem with the Ralph is that the concourse is too narrow and thus not amenable to a required upgrade. There comes a point that fixing an antiquated facility is simply not cost effective. However, the money spent for the Ralph's upgrade is not squandered money. It has allowed everyone the time to work on a reasonable stadium project. As others have stated it is not going to be a Jerry's World Gold Plated facility. It will be a functional building that is prudently priced and serves our needs.
This.
Delaware North contributed money to finance the building of First Niagara Center (CrossRoads Arena) in exchange for a long term concessions contract so the they have already set a precedent.
A new stadium could also be home to the UB Football as well to increase the number of events at the stadium and give a reason to justify more state funding. Although there was an article in the TBN today detailing how difficult it would be for UB to make the jump into a Mega Conference.
Another random thought, it would not surprise me to see Penn State playing UB at RWS in the near future, given how Terry Pegula is a major contributor to the school.

Great article. He grew up in a suburb of Buffalo and offers an unique national perspective on the region's future.

Source close to Jim Kelly and Jeffrey Gundlach tell me JK met w/Bon Jovi face-to-face in Buffalo last wk to discuss teaming up, but no deal.
Source: "Kelly and Gundlach do not feel confident that their aspirations for keeping the Bills in Buffalo long-term are aligned ..." (1/2)
"... with the interests of the Toronto group." Story coming soon. (2/2)
-
Jim wants in. Pretty simple. However, he lacks the wherewithal to be a major player in any group as we all know.
And it sounds like JBJ is desperate to get in as well. If the Kelly's Conditions to join a group are accurate, Pegula and Golisano would both find that unacceptable.
BTW welcome back 26, we have missed you on the Aud Club as well.

That was a nice play
