nucci Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The NFL does not allow it. The Packers were grandfathered in after the league changed the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that, can you imagine the Bills owned by its fans?? Riots in the streets over JP or Trent. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The NFL does not allow it. The Packers were grandfathered in after the league changed the law. To that point, I wonder if that rule violates their anti-trust status? Are there any lawyers on the board that can comment. If that is the case, we should start the proceedings now. Green Bay should not be the only small market allowed to keep its franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you arent from upstate NY. My guess is you are either French, metro, or gay. Maybe a combination of the 3. When was your last manicure?

If that is the case, we should start the proceedings now. Green Bay should not be the only small market allowed to keep its franchise. I agree with you. The time to start grassroots movement is now. I wish someone would have the time and motivation to start this. People can work table at events in and around Buffalo, set up a web site, etc. You can take names and addresses of pledges who would buy X number of shares at X dollars. You can make a goal, some kind of rough balance sheets, a general company constitution, etc. I think that the local media would prop this movement up big time and I would be confident it could grab the attention of all the players who would like the Bills to be committed to Buffalo (schumer, Kelly, kemp, thomas, golisano, etc). The time is now to act. Forces are mobilizing to take the team away. We can do something to make it more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Good luck beating the NFL in court. Hey, the USFL beat the NFL in court. Too bad the league collected only like $1.50 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was your last manicure? No I am from western NY, south towns area. And the french eat those vinegary duff wings, drink wimpy pale ales like labatts and the redneck version do zuba swaps with their partners. Real WNYers eat real wings cooked by the mob connections, drink dark /hearty beer and know how to dress in the blizzards that come off the lake.
