aristocrat Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 tom benson who owns the saints also owns the pelicans. so when does he have to give up the pelicans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 tom benson who owns the saints also owns the pelicans. so when does he have to give up the pelicans? Due to hurricane Katrina, the NFL grandfathered the Saints' previous status and they were exempted from the new population qualifiers put in place. GO BILLS!!!

DC Tom Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 That's just it though. It was brought up incessantly in those threads and actually became a meme in the process; a joke every time somebody worried about co-ownership of two sports franchises. It was a challenge to come up with new ways to mess with posters who weren't familiar with NFL bylaws. In that regard, the tie-in to population is actually pretty funny. GO BILLS!!! Yeah, this was actually a pretty good one. Crayonz-worthy, bordering on hogboy territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Kachy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Good point on this story. One problem would be the sale of the Sabres as a owner can't own two sports teams in different locations. That came up with the Bruins owner a possibility to buy the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I heard they are building another Los Angeles in New Mexico, and maybe a second one in Montana. So now we gotta worry about this schitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yeah, this was actually a pretty good one. Crayonz-worthy, bordering on hogboy territory. High praise, indeed. I still miss hogboy. His character development was very good; professional comedian good. Lenny from Sloan was a masterpiece. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Kim is from WNY.. The Bills aren't going anywhere. Nuff said. She's actually from Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) She's actually from Korea.Isn't that just east of Clarence? ("Just" being a relative term.) Edited January 8, 2016 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Isn't that just be east of Clarence? ("Just" being a relative term.) Southeast. But pretty far southeast. Like about 6,735 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It goes by population. For example, if the Paul Allen, owner of the Seahawks wanted to buy the Mariners, he could do it, because Seattle is a large market. I think it goes by population of the NFL teams TV market, but I'm not sure. However, a smaller city like Buffalo, the NFL considerers it akin to a monopoly. Thankfully the city's population is rising, so hopefully by that point it won't be an issue.This worries me. If they have to sell one I hope they move the Sabres to Syracuse (out of the Buffalo geographic area) then they are still technically a WNY team. I'm pissed now.

Augie Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Southeast. But pretty far southeast. Like about 6,735 miles. I wouldn't have guessed a mile over 6,700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't have guessed a mile over 6,700. Google is awesome. I just typed how far south korea from buffalo new york and first thing up was "6,735 miles." Edited January 8, 2016 by Kelly the Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Google is awesome. I just typed how far south korea from buffalo new york and first thing up was "6,735 miles." Yeah, but I think that might be west, not east. Or north, now that I think of it. Edited January 8, 2016 by DC Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yeah, but I think that might be west, not east. Or north, now that I think of it. True. It's closer going west. It's hard for me to imagine that S Korea is north of Buffalo but it may be. Some of those halfway around the world things baffle me as far as north south goes.

Some of those halfway around the world things baffle me as far as north south goes. Either way, she's from just outside the immediate neighborhood. And a blessing!

Some of those halfway around the world things baffle me as far as north south goes. Generally, the shortest distance from North America to Asia is over the pole...I'm not sure if that's considered "north," "south," or "north, then continue south." Doesn't matter, though. I think league regulations would prohibit Pegula going both north and south at the same time, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I've read sources that say he has to get rid of the Sabres by 2019 if he wants to keep the Bills. League by-laws. Oh no. You didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I have a question: Does anybody think that the riots had any effect on the owner wanting to get away from St. Louis? I have zero idea if the riots did or did not impact the decision but the possibility has crossed my mind several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
