mrags Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 No. You can not take a regulated 501©(3) children's disease charity and use it as an investment to purchase a football franchise as an investment. but could Ralph gift it to the charity?

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Maybe it is Trump didnt he own a USFL team and we eventual got Kelly and Thurman from USFL??? Edited December 31, 2012 by bills_fan_in_raleigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Pegula since the NHL strike may not settle he feels a need to run a team in a real league not just NHL i put him low on the list because I personally think he's just a huge Sabres fan vs a Buffalo fan.

section122 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Jacobs, Richs, Galisano, The guy in NF, Pegula, Trump. There's plenty of others too I'm sure. T. Boone Pickens as well which would be great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Jacobs, Richs, Galisano, The guy in NF, Pegula, Trump. There's plenty of others too I'm sure. For sure. Definitely exciting to think who it might be. If I had to rank em, Pegula would top the list. Something tells me though, that Ralph might be most comfortable with Jacobs. Just a hunch.

Coach Tuesday Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 but could Ralph gift it to the charity? It's not going to involve Hunter's Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playman Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 he should have been fired on christmas eve. but better late than never. maybe someone can throw eggs at him while he is loading the truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBeane Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 but could Ralph gift it to the charity? I'm not sure if that's allowed or not, but I'm fairly certain that he would never do that and take away ~800 million from his family. In other words, no way Ralph gives Jim a nearly billion dollar present at the expense of his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Maybe it is Trump didnt he own the Generals that gave us Kelly and Thurman??? He didn't give us either. Kelly was on the Generals when when the USFL folded. He then had no other option but to play in Buffalo. Thurman was drafted by the Bills and played no where else. But yes, I firmly believe Trump is in the mix. He has Kelly ties for sure and would love to get another team IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Arrrgh. Why wait until Monday? Ralph must be sleeping already. Just do it now and get it over with. How hard is it to pick up a phone and tell Brandon to tell Chan, Buddy and whomever else to hit the bricks? It takes a minute tops. I'll do it. What's the number? Pretty customary in the NFL to wait till Monday. It's called "Black Monday" for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 you know what I meant. I hate Donald Trump. He's a self important pompous jerk!!! He'll never be approved by the NFL as an owner after he tried to force a merger with the USFL by going up against the NFL in the Fall and subsequently brought an antitrust suit.

bowery4 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Trump will never get past the owners if he is the backer (and he is a giant dipshit) but that is just reality, so yeah this being the Bills it is probably him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Peter king just said that Chan's definitely gone monday on football night in America!! Thought it should be of some interest. Of course, this isn't official, so who knows. :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 If King does have a source why wouldnt he also break the story about a sale???? Maybe because there is no story? When the sale happens, I suspect there will be no advance word (other than the usual generic rumors) until a presser is announced. The players involved are likely too seasoned to risk jeopardizing the sale by leaking anything ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
