I'm pretty sure I love Mary Wilson:

 

"This is a very important day in the history of the Buffalo Bills franchise," said current Bills controlling owner Mary Wilson. "Ralph brought professional football to Buffalo in 1959 and it was his life's passion. He loved his team and he cherished the fans and his legacy will remain for all-time. Ralph would have been pleased with the sale of the team to the Terry Pegula family, who has been so committed to Buffalo and the Western New York region"

 

"I sincerely wish Terry and Kim Pegula all the best with the Buffalo Bills and I'm happy for all Bills fans. Our hope is that this great franchise brings them as much excitement and joy as it did for Ralph and that they bring home a Super Bowl championship for Bills fans everywhere. Go Bills!"

So JBJ signed a waiver saying he wouldnt move the team?

 

Interesting that this was only made public now

Most fans would still wonder and be concerned waiver or no waiver We know MLSE/Tannebaun's heart was in Toronto, it's nice to know with Pegs that he never had an interest in moving the team. Better situation all around.

Pegula's Statement

 

http://bills.buffalonews.com/2014/09/09/pegulas-announce-buffalo-bills-stay/

 

Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula has issued a statement about buying the Buffalo Bills:

"Kim and I are humbled and honored that the Wilson family has chosen us to be the second owner of the Buffalo Bills. Pending the NFL approval process, being the next owner of the Buffalo Bills would be a great privilege for our family. Ralph Wilson left an indelible mark on our community, and we will strive every day to honor his legacy.

"Our interest in owning the Bills has everything to do with the people of Western New York and our passion for football. We have knowledgeable, dedicated fans here and along with our ownership of the Buffalo Sabres, it is gratifying to reassure these great fans that two franchises so important to our region are both here to stay.

"We are grateful to Sen. Chuck Schumer and Gov. Andrew Cuomo for their support and desire to keep our Bills in Western New York where they belong and to our team of professional advisers at Allen & Company and Sherrard, German & Kelly. We would also like to thank the staffs of the NFL and the Bills for helping to guide us through the sale process. We now look ahead to the NFL review process in accordance with league policy. If awarded final approval, we will be driven to achieve a singular goal: To win a Super Bowl for our fans.

"Out of respect for the continuing sale process, until league approval is attained we will have no further comment."

Zero amount of work getting done today. Probably tomorrow too.

 

I'm glad it's not just me!

 

The Ray Rice timing kind of blows though. That's all anyone can talk about. Even the ESPN2 crowd had to finish the Bills talk saying Pegula owns a sports agency representing players, including Ray Rice. Oh well, they can't spoil my mood!

I just haven't stopped smiling all day. This just feels right. Future generations will have the opportunity to share in something that means so much to us and the WNY community. I was raised on Bills football and I look forward to raising my children the same way. What and amazing day!!

 

Amen, buddy. Amen.
