SirAndrew Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I’m probably in the minority here in that I always enjoyed Bon Jovi’s music, and even went to a few shows. That said, the music is separate from the guy. I’m certainly not losing any sleep from his comments, but why be so bitter about the whole thing ? He calls not getting the Bills, “ the biggest disappointment in his life”. I get that, but grow up and get over it. There are many down to earth awesome rock stars, then you have your Bon Jovi’s who seem to think they accomplished something more than writing some hit songs, and having memorable hair. He’s just hurt that he doesn’t get to tell his friends in the Hampton’s he owns a football team. He feels insecure.

May Day 10 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) The premise that Donald Trump and Caputo were responsible for turning us on Bon Jovi, undermining his bid is such fictional nonsense. We were onto Bon Jovi and the Tanenbaum/MLSE connections LONG before Trump was in the picture (I doubt Trump's interest or financial ability to buy the team was even sincere anyway)... The motivation to relocate the Bills to Toronto was hardly a leap that we needed Trump's manipulations to make. Most Bills fans were borderline obsessed with the situation for many years, well before Wilson's passing, and we were well aware of MLSE/Bon Jovi's presence. As far as the bid goes. We knew all along the Pegulas had far deeper pockets in liquidity. They also would not have to deal with additional costs of relocation to the NFL, breaking the Non-Relocation Clause, as well as the cost of a posh new facility in Toronto (which would have needed to be built by now). We are talking like double or triple the cost. Trump didnt create that situation. Neither did the people in Buffalo or radio stations who didnt play "Wanted Dead or Alive" for a month. I dont really carry too much of a grudge for Bon Jovi, honestly. However, I do get annoyed with his ongoing lack of self-awareness and dishonesty when it comes to this issue.

Not sure why there was a decision to close it down on the main page. Anyway, i am glad it started out on the main page for at least a little while so that I could become aware of it. I sent the link to lots of friends and family and it brought joy into their lives because it’s, ahem, actually Bills-related. And thanks, @MAJBobby, for posting it here, even though I would never have seen it 🙂. Edited October 16, 2020 by dave mcbride 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
