duey Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Anyone think that Ralph may discuss his plans to initiate the sale of the team prior to his demise? I know it sounds cold, but why wouldn't he want to be the one who decides who buys his team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it sounds cold, but why wouldn't he want to be the one who decides who buys his team? 655288[/snapback] Because he doesn't care *that* much about what happens to his business once he dies, because once he sells the team he will have to pay huge capital gains taxes, and because if he sells the team, what's he going to do with the rest of his life?

If Joel is involved, The Bills ARE DOOMED! wgr550.com wben.com buffalobills.com 655268[/snapback] I agree to some extent but do any of us really think it is Erie County's responsibility to be the main "money squeeze" for the Bills? I am not sure what Ralph expects from meeting with Joel or anyone else in Erie County. The money to keep the Bills in Buffalo needs to come from: 1.) The STATE 2.) The Private sector and maybe with help from the NFL (although many of us are suspicious that the NFL prefers the Bils be elsewhere say......like LA?) I plan to buy that magamillions ticket tonight. Some I am chipping in. you betcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dundy249 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Uh, why exactly should Long Island taxpayers have to pay one cent towards keeping the Bills in Buffalo? JDG 655382[/snapback] For the same reason Erie county tax payers pay the taxes they do to support Long Island. New York is a Back Asswards state.

Like A Mofo Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Uh, why exactly should Long Island taxpayers have to pay one cent towards keeping the Bills in Buffalo? JDG 655382[/snapback] Would'nt WNY'ers have to help pay for a new West Side stadium in New York City? If that would have went through, I doubt New Yorkers would care less that Western new Yorkers, already taxed too much, would have to pay for their stadium... I could be wrong about the West Side thing though, dont remember all the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
