todd Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) That would be horrible. He's an idiot birther egomaniac narcissistic buffoon who for some reason feels the need to be in the spotlight all the time. He's a walking distraction. He's worse than Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder rolled into one. He's a greedy d-bag who would move the team if it made him money. He's exactly what you don't want in an owner. Not only that, he's probably only saying it to get publicity. Edited April 2, 2014 by todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Be nice if a young billionaire like Zuckerburg (29) , born in NY would be interested. He's worth about $28 B , he could even afford to build his own stadium. http://en.wikipedia....Mark_Zuckerberg Edited April 2, 2014 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 the biggest thing, like has been mentioned, is he is claiming someone has approached him gauging his interest, and by the way the conversation went, it is likely a local interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Cain Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Famous last words; "Buffalo....You're Fired!" Be nice if a young billionaire like Zuckerburg (29) , born in NY would be interested. He's worth about $28 B , he could even afford to build his own stadium. http://en.wikipedia....Mark_Zuckerberg Nice, however unlikely. I read somewhere Zuckerberg's liquid cash wealth to be in the hundreds of millions. In other words he would need to liquidate some FB stock to buy a team.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Merely seeking more publicity, Trump thrives on it. The reality is he doesn't have enough money to buy the Bills. No matter how much money he wants you to think he has. Trump must have an entire P.R. firm pushing this nonsense to the press, which gladly, breathlessly, regurgitates it to the public. This is a total non-story. They might as well report that Trump had a BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd finance the team and owning 400 million shares worth 25 billion is some pretty decent collateral. I don't think he'd get into this space but banks will bend over backwards to finance an nfl team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably want to move the team there and can afford the $400 mil penalty. Plus I have never seen any interest from him in sports teams. But yeah a Zuckerberg type that lives in WNY. Anyone know any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungmack Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I have been a Bills fan since the day the franchise was created, through thick and (mostly) thin. Sometimes it's been embarrassing to be a Bills fan. But at least it's never been humiliating. Were Trump to become the owner it would be beyond humiliating, it would be a joke, a clown show. The city of Buffalo and greater Western New York are often and unfairly the butt of national jokes. If Trump becomes associated with the Bills, that would be the nail in the coffin. The Bills, and the area, deserve better than this egomaniacal freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Duck Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) http://sports.yahoo....27213.html?vp=1 He told WBEN radio (via ESPN.com) he has been contacted by a group looking to buy the Bills, asking if he would be interested in being an investor, and Trump said he would "look at it." He said he would want to keep the Bills in Buffalo. Bills owner Ralph Wilson died on March 25. Edited April 2, 2014 by dog14787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pills -N- Bills Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Trump would be perfect man. He has the money and smarts. He could get us a new stadium and with his connections we go from playing one game a year in Toronto to develop that fan base...to playing a game in Yankee stadium every year and trying to develop that one !
