thewildrabbit Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Can you imagine the complete clusterf***k if, after all this, the trust decided to sell to JBJ? JBJ a finalist now! wow, this really sucks. all bids were supposedly under one billion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) As I had heard earlier, the Pritzker family was originally interested in perhaps buying the Bills but are no longer interested. Another one bites the dust, and one of the only real threats to El Pegual, if only because of their war chest. http://www.chicagotr...0811-story.html I assume that their partner would be Sinatra, who reached out to them. This is more good news for us of course. Edited August 12, 2014 by Kelly the Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I hope that the Trust is only keeping the JBJ/Toronto group around to increase the bids. Still makes me nervous. Pegula needs to win this, and until then and because I am a paranoid Bills fan, I will have a bad feeling that somehow the JBJ/Toronto group will end up with the winning bid.

KevinL Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Out of the bidders we know, who is left. Pegula, Trump, Golisano and JBJ. Who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Out of the bidders we know, who is left. Pegula, Trump, Golisano and JBJ. Who else? No one else we know for sure of. Tim Graham said as many as 8. Let's say 4 are the ones you listed. The Pritzkers could easily be 5. Kelly/Gundlach are probably 6 although they are not an official bid. The PBR guy, Metropolous or whatever is probably 7. It's possible that Jacobs family is 8 (although they said they were out, and maybe interested in just the stadium), or that Danny Wegman whom I had heard rumored is 8, or there could be another outsider. Chris Sacha (?) is another guy who was rumored to maybe bid but didn't. Edited August 12, 2014 by Kelly the Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I look at it as the saying goes "possesion is 9/10 the law". JBJ or any other group can say what you want to hear but once they have ownership, who knows. I guess the obvious exception to that would be Pegula or maybe even Golisano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY reason it's even a 1% chance is because, "It's the Bills." Which means it could happen. But there is no logical way it could happen. There are dozens of reasons why it won't, and no really good one that it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, way off topic.With the passing of Robin Williams today maybe say a quick prayer for him and his family. Very,very talented man gone way to soon.

BRAWNDO Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Tim Graham did a podcast with Buffalo Rumblings tonight. Mentioned there is a lot more that he knows, but cannot divulge at present. Still thinks Pegula is frontrunner and that the JBJ Group is still around to drive interest. Speculates JBJ maybe in line for the next team which becomes available. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2014/8/11/5990563/buffalo-rumblings-live-buffalo-bills-bid-process-tim-graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 Josh Allen Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Time to start believing in conspiracy theories I've been saying this all along. Last week I started the thread about how there is 8 groups moving to round 2 who actually get to meet with the Bills trust and see all the books. The rules seem change As this thing moves along. Most of the known groups were vetted in the media and by Fans and it made a difference. These groups Were also vetted by Morgan Stanley. We were told only 2 moved forward to Round 2 Pegula and Trump the 3rd group Bonjovi was told to resubmit there bid. Then all of a sudden we were told there are now 8 going to round 2 WTF. This is a cluster in the greatest sense. I don't trust anyone to do the right thing at this point. Bottom line is a franchise in Toronto Or Los Angeles is what the NFL wants and needs. Don't ever forget that, if they can allow The colts and Browns to move don't think for A second they care about little old Buffalo. It just makes all the other teams in the NFL more valuable with Teams in the bigger market like Toronto or LA. So for those who say oh don't worry it's in the bag Terry Pegula's got this. I almost half expect some article will come out tieing him to something Seedy or ilegal so he can't be approved as a NFL Owner. I don't Trust The NFL commissioner Or the other owners or even the Trust. We better stay Vigilant and Erie County better Start protecting this asset. We only get one shot at this. I believe there are forces at work here that don't want us to keep our team in Buffalo and they will do everything in there power to make That happen.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I thought JBJ's letter in the Buffalo News showed incompetence. Instead of talking about spending as much time on the ground as needed, he should have said that he is looking forward to becoming a part of the community. But yet following that letter look who's allowed back into the process. All calculated my friend. Don't believe for a second a team of attorneys didn't craft the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
