That's my point. Until we know what exactly is in the trust none of us know. But my suspicion is that it will be weighted in our favor.

I do. I believe the trust group has marching orders to try to keep the team in Buffalo. There is a mans legacy involved in this. Do you not lend any credence to that? I've said this before but half of the trust would accept the hedge fund manager type you speak of. The other half wont. Part of the other half owns the team and can accept a billion dollars and call it a day.

Well here that dome thing again. Let me just say if they build a dome, it is one of the dome's with a retractable roof!

TJ sucks and I bet Mike Williams runs routes around him. Williams and Sammy are your top two and Woods is third then Goodwin. Marcus Easley may stand a better chance of being the next guy and then there's TJ. Maybe I'm wrong and you're right but I'm guessing the staff has more faith in developing Easley who performed on ST and they may elevate him for that reason alone. Just my take. Wait, is this about TJ, EJ or SJ? What a mess you've made here!

Sadly I doubt it is. They would be getting national tv dollars in Canada. That group is the elephant in the room. That said I believe there's something in the trust orders that gives preference to a hometown buyer. And while the two bean counters in the trust might push for the Canadian bid, the other two will offset them and remind that while Ralph was largely about money, he was also ALL against relocating teams. They take El Peguals money and call it a day. Viva El Pegual!

I don't always own two sports teams. But when I do they will both be located downtown Buffalo. El Pagual

Yes I love this!!!!

Very nice thought Cowgirls fan. Miss Tim and Big Russ

Very true about the Sabres for customer service but it really matters who you end up dealing with for them. Nice to see you and I on the same about something. Oh look, an asteroid! LOL

Great recap and thanks! Matt Patrone and Pat Mathews are both excellent guys. They go the extra mile for ticket holders and I can attest to that. The organization needs to win for employees like them as well as us fans. They are so deserving of some success. I'm not a smoker but after watching The Belmont and seeing so many people smoking in the crowd I wondered how that's possible thinking it's a NY State facility. They need to find a way to make a designated smoking area again cause it's pretty sad to get ejected for that or even cause any friction with the cops over that. They have real issues to deal with on game days. Thanks again.

I sure use the sunroof in my car a lot. Of course, I really miss the convertible I had.

Doesn't sound like the Pegula way to me. Maybe to save money if someone other than El Pegual wins the bid but I think Pegula pays for the premium trim version. Just like his cars have fog lights where they should be instead of plastic inserts. Oh and premium leather too. I don't think you know what you are saying unless you believe someone other than Pegula gets the team. Well actually I don't think you know what you are saying. Have a nice day.

Me too. This thread should be closed and someone should give the Men in Black light us all so we never knew what we know.

Well since you said WNY I'll give mention to Palladino's joint in the Falls. The Giacamo but appears sold out this Saturday. Try the mansion on Delaware. It's your money so it's no object to me.

Well said? I'm very confused by what he said. Golisano's Sabres were never near the bottom in spending. They we're competitive, won a President's cup, made conference finals and increased season tickets. He wants Pegula to come and get a football man in place. He's not accepting the fact that Pegula came in and allowed Darcy to remain in place which seriously impacted the team. So his history is that he will leave the people in place for a few years before deciding if a change is necessary. He states that he sure Pegula learned form hockey and would get a guy in there like Tim Murray and then says leaving Whaley is the way to go. All that Whaley needs is the commitment to spend. Like Darcy got? I'll give you this though that Whaley seems to be a bright guy with an upside. No offense to either of you but how the hell is any of that well said?

I laughed! Thanks

Soccer should never be considered. They would make the seats too far away from the field by adding extra room on the field. I've never seen a great football stadium with a track around a field like you with say a multi purpose Olympic type of stadium. Soccer and our Football don't mix. At least not here!

Who?

Actually, I'm not angry. Just tired of what seems like more whining than ever about the team, the stadium, the draft, the trade, the coach, the gm, the ceo, the renovations, the location of a new stadium, the new owner etc. I'm sure there more! Oh ya, the qb! Despite all that is going on around I think we have a playoff team. A playoff team. Let the good times roll again this coming season. We have had a great off season. And I want to enjoy all of what's going on. All the while respecting the passing of Ralph.

Hmm, maybe you forgot the other part of your post? "he knows how to suck fans in every year" See ya.

Ya so? Those of us that have enjoyed the upgrades into club seating have paid dearly for it compared to a regular seat. And that money if I'm not mistaken is not shared. That was all Ralph's. My seat license cost more than the ticket in the Van. Are you going to step up in the new stadium??????

Why are the likes of you guys saying anything about a positive for the team? Can there never be anything positive to you? I'm a pessimistic person by nature but why the hell do knock this story? As a Bills fan I want to say piss off and never enjoy this team again. Good Bye.

All good man. In this instance anyways

When you say Bills press conferences it reminds me how bad they are and reminds of at least half a dozen reasons Scott Berchtold needs to be fired.

For the record, I can't stand Promo. I do like Russ and think he has the heart of Bills fans and Ralph in mind always. Don't blame him that he was put in roles he was not qualified for like GM. But give the man his due respect because he has done some FANTASTIC things for us Bills fans in the past and appears to be doing so again because he is in the right role within the organization. Cheers Russ. You are making a difference in my team! Thank you. Again for the record I don't like PromoTheRobot and find him tedious at best. But really, to call him a dumb, dim witted retard? Well I hope you get banned for that! See ya. PTR I don't agree with most of what you post but I do love diversity, discourse and disagreement. But their are boundries and WTF aren't we ALL Bills fans? Cheers man. (This time only) Lol Edit: The scar thing to me is Golisano would keep Littman, Overdorf and Berchtold and those three guys are the bad karma in the organization that need to be removed like a bad stain!
