217014170 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 In the mid-1990's Seattle was clearly a baseball town at risk of losing their NFL franchise. The entire state of Washington literally begged Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Paul Allen to step in and buy the team. Approximately 20 years later on the other side of the country.................. Let's hope the comparisons don't end there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If only NYS had literally begged someone to buy the Bills 20 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I like the comparison. Hopefully we start winning. Pegs has clearly brought some needed legitimacy to the organization (actually started with Wilson grabbing Mario) by hiring Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
217014170 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I think some of the barriers have definitely been knocked down. So you're saying buffalo is a baseball town. Got it. Actually, no. The point was the job was actually more difficult in Seattle because there is more competition for people's entertainment dollar. Now that money should not be a barrier this should be an exciting time for Buffalo residents. And, actually, the onfield win-loss record of the Bills should factor minimally in the overall impact of the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
