  1. Seriously though, everyone is talking about what would happen if a "bidding war" takes place, but from my experience in tendering projects for local government, each bidder gets only one shot to get their bids right.

     

    I would expect this to go similarly to any other private property sale. If you have multiple bidders for a house on the market, a bidding war can ensue and the sale price can exceed the asking price. I suspect the Bills sale might play out relatively the same way.

  2. Cam Neely (President of the Boston Bruins) was on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston within the past hour. Neely said he has spoken to Jeremy Jacobs and that Jeremy has no interest in selling the Boston Bruins and has no interest in purchasing the Buffalo Bills.

     

    Statements came roughly between 4:25 to 4:35 PM EDT in interview on "Felger and Mazz" radio show

     

    Better yet, here's a link: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2014/04/10/cam-neely-jeremy-jacobs-wont-pursue-purchasing-bills-if-it-means-giving-up-bruins-ownership/

  3. This is absolutely good news!! The sooner the better for Buffalo's long term future. The ball has been rolling on this for quite some time IMO.

     

    But could be potentially bad for the product on the field short-term. After plunking down $1B (give or take) the new owner is going to make sure they have their own choice for president / CEO , who will choose their GM, who will choose their head coach etc. So Russ, Doug, and Doug could all be out by the end of 2014. That may be good or bad depending on your perspective, but it would certainly start the rebuilding process again.

     

    Of course the other way to look at it is all of the front office moves we have seen have been done in anticipation and/or with the blessing of a specific ownership group already.
