PromoTheRobot Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) I think we're talking about two different things here. I'll try to be more clear. Isn't it true that El Pegual cannot own BOTH the Buffalo Sabres AND the Buffalo Bills simultaneously, per the NFL by laws? NFL allows owning other teams if a) said team is in the same market, or b) said team is in another market that is not home to an NFL team.

mrags Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) I think we're talking about two different things here. I'll try to be more clear. Isn't it true that El Pegual cannot own BOTH the Buffalo Sabres AND the Buffalo Bills simultaneously, per the NFL by laws? are you freaking trolling here? This has been discussed not only in this thread but to death for years. It is possible. It is only against NFL laws to own 2 different franchises in 2 different cities, and that's only of they have another franchise in that city. Which is why Jacobs can't purchase the Bills because he already owns the Bruins and the Pats are another NFL team in the city in which he owns his hockey team.

PromoTheRobot Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 "I'm sorry Mr. Pegula. We'd love to sell you the Bills but we can't since you already own the Sabres. Didn't anyone explain the rule to you? We have no choice but to sell to Bon Jovi." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Pegula already owns the Sabres and as per NFL rules you can only own 1 last place team at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I think the Goo Goo Dolls should buy the Argos and move them to Cheektowaga. See how Toronto likes the threat of losing their team to singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If you're sure it's been asked 30 times in 21 pages, wouldn't you only have to read about 1 page to see the answer? At least he didnt create a new thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Can you give me a list of these "bad trades" you speak of? Is one getting the Islanders #1 pick plus Matt Moulson for Vanek? Or how about getting a #1 from Nashville for Paul friggin' Gausted? As for TP's involvement obviously you must have been in a coma when he was flying his private jet to meet with all these crappy free agent signings and convince them to come to Buffalo and allow him to make them wealthy. Pegula had made some mistakes when he came into Buffalo like a tidal wave but what I like what he has done is recognize the FA game was NOT the way to build a hockey team and put the $ and assets into the draft. Good to see a billionaire own up to mistakes and make adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hey fellas, quick question: won't Pegula be prevented from buying the Bills since he already owns the Sabres? NO, because the Bills will be headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario where the new retractable roof stadium is being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Under NFL bylaws, you can own an NHL team in the same market, but you cannot own a lacrosse team, and Pegula reportedly refuses to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
