BRAWNDO Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 This is so reminiscent of when Pat Moran kept sending out teasers re: the falsely reported border bust. "Hey Bills fans, I'm about to post something that's going to be HUGE to the Buffalo Bills! Get ready!!" Bush League. I doubt that Graham will bet his daughter's life on it though...

eball Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Seems like the Pritzker folks would be keeping the team here, given their investment in Buffalo real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod's Tailor Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 John Kryk @JohnKryk 34s A spokesman for reported #Bills suitor Jeffrey Gundlach's DoubleLine Capital just told me: "The only thing I can say is, 'Go #Bills!'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm rooting for Pegula as much as anyone, but wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if someone else with Buffalo ties won the bid. If Pegula owns the Bills, Sabres, and perhaps a new Bills stadium, that's a lot of eggs in one basket as far as the WNY region is involved. God forbid something happened to him, or there is some kind of Rigas or Haslam situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm hoping it is him (but somehow I doubt it). The multiple ownership rules could easily be bypassed because he has family who could take over the Bruins, or technically own the Bills. Jauronimo's head will explode if Jacobs owns the Bruins and Pegula owns Sabres and we don't know if either can own the Bills. Oh well, there's always Hamilton Ontario.

jimmy10 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 What's funny is everyone has been in love with Pegula as owner. If a Gundlach/Kelly/ potentially Golisano group steps up will everyone be disappointed? Will people start rooting against Jim Kelly? Or if Pegula gets it - are people upset he took the team away from Kelly? I'm happy either way - just keep away from JBJ. At the end of the day, all I really care about are that the Bills stay in WNY for decades to come so that my young children can grow up rooting for them like I did. Whoever ends up the owner really won't make a substantive difference in my life (unless we end up with PSLs/outrageous ticket prices as part of their new stadium plans I guess).

zonabb Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Well in TG's carefully crafted prior news, he stated "up to" 8 possible bidders. Now he circles back and say "see who signed the NDA" so as to complete the full circle to support "up to 8." So now he's on record, I believe of meeting his self-imposed "up to 8" with the known 4 (T-money, Golisano, Bongiovi, Trump) plus Grunlach, Mr. PBR, the Canucks owners, and the Pritzkers. So now he can meet his own self-fulfilling prophecy and say "see, there could be up to 8 because I have some names now." Waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffHead Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Know it's been assumed but adam begnini confirms it is Gundlach that Kelly is partnered with @ByTimGraham: Another in-the-know source today echoed what I tweeted last week: The reported $1.3 billion Pegula bid waaaaaaay off. Actual bid much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Know it's been assumed but adam begnini confirms it is Gundlach that Kelly is partnered with I just don't understand the purpose of their bid when Pegula is the owner that we all want. Unless they are trying to join up with Pegula then I don't understand the purpose of trying to fight it out with a billionaire who has more cash in his wallet than either of those guys will ever see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
