Arkady Renko Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) NFL Commish tells fans about a possible plan for the Bills after Ralph.

Arkady Renko Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Works for me. Sorry... search for @paulpeck4. Actual quote isn't as promising in my opinion: NFL Commissioner expressed confidence in the future of the franchise in a conversation with select fans at Ralph Wilson Stadium, according to WKBW-TV. Goodell: "(Owner Ralph Wilson, Jr.) has what he thinks are the right steps for the team. We will obviously work with him and the team to fulfill his wishes. I know he will do, and we are confident we will do, what is in the best interest of this community and the NFL ... I think that's being taken care of." http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/post/15710878 http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/2011/10/goodell-stresses-rws-upgrades.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2Fbuffalonews%2Fbillboard+%28BillBoard%29 Additional quotes. Good thing: Goodell doesn't seem to think that a new stadium is a requirement anymore. Before, he has indicated to the contrary.

Doc Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Did Sir Roger say anything about this succession plan (I thought Ralph didn't have one?) involving "selling the team to the highest bidder?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I wonder if the timing is related to Al Davis' passing, putting the spotlight on Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I wonder if the timing is related to Al Davis' passing, putting the spotlight on Ralph chad kelly tweeted earlier this week that something regarding the bills was going down this weekend. i think this was in the work's before Al's passing.

Pirate Angel Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Although Buffalo has been declining, the revenue for the Bills is still there it doesn't make sense that they would be first on the list to relocate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) @papa, True,. Sounds like the news is Ralph is agreeing to a new long term lease at the Ralph without any mods. But maybe Goodell is here figuring he needs to stay on top of things realizing these old owners could go at any minute post Davis Edited October 9, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 If Pegula were to buy the Bills, I think we need to offer him a blood sacrifice. Or at least a few virgins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I doubt Pegula is the primary player in the purchase of the Bills. I think Golisano would be more likely. I could see Pegula playing a secondary role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Although Buffalo has been declining, the revenue for the Bills is still there it doesn't make sense that they would be first on the list to relocate We just brought 400 works back to the Ford stamping plant . They actually said they were doing reverse outsourcing (odd way to say it) but didn't say why, Maybe cheap labor isn't cracked up to whay it is supposed to be.
