Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia 35s
That's a big one. MT @judybattista Told by someone with very good knowledge of Bills sale "Whoever buys it has to be prepared to stay there"
-
I haven't seen it mentioned in any article yet. If they are going to have a bank soon to do the vetting process, then they must already know who is and is not going to bid for the team. Toronto being so quiet makes me nervous.
Good point. We also have not had a formal announcement from Jacobs, Pegula or another dark horse candidate with local ties on what their plans are either. The serious candidates are probably waiting until the investment bank is in place to make their intentions known.

Out of respect for Jerry Jones , once a New Bills Stadium is built in WNY, the inaugural event at the stadium should be a Jon Bovi Concert.

Yup I found last year's:
One thing is for sure, Whaley and Monos are much cooler than the old regime.

On the section about Cyrus K - they showed a screen grab of a web page. That web page was to the web-base software of Intelemage, called inteleGRID® Secure Medical Image Exchange.
I'm not sure this means anything other than the status of Cyrus' knees was a matter of deep concern and they had scans of his knees to look at.
Nice pick up.
Love that they were trying to be even more aggressive and get back into the second round.

Kiper gave the Seahawks a C- for their 2012 draft as well.
He said this
Russell Wilson is a great test case for shorter QBs, because he has everything else, but did they need him in the third round after grabbing Matt Flynn to come in and likely start?
And the Bleacher Report had this to say about the same draft
As if the day wasn’t bad enough, Seattle selecting Russell Wilson, a QB that doesn’t fit their offense at all, was by far the worst move of the draft.
Gave them a F.
Hopefully the Bills have the same results in 2 years!!

Colt Lyerla not getting much attention from NFL teams. Nothing on the horizon as of this minute

LB Louisville.

Sorry to see him go, but at least he gets to play in his hometown.

Fortune favors the bold

With Erie County being one of the three parties involved in the new stadium feasibility study, I cannot see them allowing a stadium to be built in Niagara Falls, but I suppose anything is possible. Is it possible the new stadium is built around The First Niagara Center, with relocation of the Perry Housing Projects?
-
Jay Skurski from the Buffalo News is reporting that Goodell states the Bills will need a new stadium to remain viable in WNY
This explains why things are moving fast on a new stadium front
-
Nice job, a lot of Bills Fans have the same feelings going to the games.
-
Yeah, that stuff is crap. But a ton of players smoke pot. It's self medicating. Given their profession, I think it joke to even drug test them for it. It's better than them popping a ton of pills.
With states moving towards legalizing it, the NFL is going to have revisit the issue soon.

Ok help me here. All I have heard since 1983' is Buffalo is a small market. The market can't support the Bills. Fans whine and B word every time ticket costs go up even though they are consistently the lowest or near lowest in the NFL. Can't sell all the Luxury suites and what we do sell has to be much less than other stadiums.
So how the hell is the County and fans going to afford a new stadium? What do you guys think the seats will cost for this? And if the county and state have it so bad, how the hell are they going to finance this stadium without sticking hard to the tax payers? What about PSL's? I can't imagine fans being able to afford those and that has been one of the main ways to fund stadiums since Carolina built theirs.
Its all good to talk about but the reality says It can't and even more so, shouldn't happen.
Buffalo itself is a small market, hence the regionalization of the franchise to Southern Ontario and Rochester Regions.
New York State will be the largest contributor to funding of a new stadium, thereby not limiting it strictly to Erie County Taxpayers.
A domed stadium in combination with a new convention center that could be used year round, is one possible way to make a new complex more economically feasible.
In terms of the PSLs, I believe this is where the Buffalo Fan Alliance comes into play. The BFA would be able to loan the new owners money towards the building of a new stadium, that would offset the need for PSLs or at least make the amount charged much less.

Gotta love the irony of an L.A. based company doing the research on new stadium sights.
GO BILLS!!!
Well played sir....

The Buffalo News is reporting NY State hired a California Firm to study sites for a New Bills Stadium.

This is what King had to say about the Bills in his column after the Bills drafted EJ.
I think the Bills could be CIA agents. E.J. Manuel over Matt Barkley and Ryan Nassib? If you had that one, you are either Doug Marrone's wife or Buddy Nix's mantra-keeper. But Manuel is the kind of versatile quarterback -- the guy Jon Gruden firmly believes is the best all-around quarterback and team leader in the draft -- who should have a long career in the league. Great career? No one knows, and God knows the Bills have had their failures since Jim Kelly retired.I doubt too much has changed this year in terms of true information getting out.
The Bills said the same thing about Tavon Austin last year as well to generate trade interest for the eighth pick.
-
Any mock draft that has the Bills getting Evans or Watkins is a home run in my book..
-
Terry may be a bigger fan than you know. Plus, his wife has been a Bills fan all her life. And then there's LaConfora's reports of Pegula's name being tossed around at the league meetings in March. Hmm. Granted, it's all speculation, but still.

GO BILLS!!!
Plus there is this from 2011 shortly after Pegula bought the Sabres
"This was an easy decision for us," Pegula said in a release issued by both the Sabres and the firm. "We did extensive research to find the perfect fit. All of my resources had nothing but praise for Todd. His reputation among the elite NFL executives was phenomenal." -

Bills source tells me Titans called to gauge interest in Chris Johnson, but Bills weren't interested. (1/2)
Bills source thinks Titans floated Bills as possible trade partner for Chris Johnson to make it seem like they didn't just cut him. (2/2)

This was a nice way to wake up on a Sunday Morning.
Stan Kroenke has set the precedent by owning the St Louis Rams as well as the Colorado Avs and Denver Nuggets. I believe he transferred ownership of the Avs and the Nuggets to his son to comply with NFL Ownership Rules.

I'm told a Toronto-based group interested in buying the Bills is reconsidering because moving might be too difficult.
