That's true, but over the past 6 months, there has been an awful lot of media coverage devoted to the possibility of the Bills moving. There were no news stories or rumors surrounding a potential Dolphins move because Wayne Huizenga actually still owns 5% of the team--- there was no opportunity for drama, really.

@Fred22Jackson: I also want to welcome Mr and Mrs Pegula as our new owners. I am extremely excited to play for you in BUFFALO!!!

@Fred22Jackson: I wanna take the time to thank Mr and Mrs Wilson for everything they have done for my family and me.

@TheBillsMafia: And they lived happily ever after.

This is all so overwhelming. I've had dust in my eyes since late last night.

@ByTimGraham: What a poignant call on WGR now. Man from Dominican Republic, crying at joy of getting to tell his daughter Bills are staying. Great radio.

Perhaps someone can find published references to it (I'm on my iphone at the moment) but based on what has been reported, it was definitely elation.

Luke Russert ‏@LukeRussert 1m Please God RT: @AdamSchefter: Sabres owner Terry Pegula on verge of buying #Buffalo #Bills, per sources, process is said 2 b "moving quick."

Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 1m Pegulas are very confident. League source would be "shocked" if it went any other way.

Rodak is ESPN--- Vic is coming back to the Buffalo News.

@caplannfl: Former #Jets WR Stephen Hill is working out for the #Panthers today, source confirmed.

It was reported quite awhile ago that various potential bidders were contacting Kelly--- it wouldn't be surprising in the least that Bon Jovi or Golisano had discussions with Jim at some point. Simply having conversations about a team up doesn't really say much.

I live in Virginia now, but I'd love an MLS team in Buffalo. DC United draws excellent numbers but the vastness of RFK Stadium makes it look like a small crowd. If if the League allowed for a multi sport stadium to be used, what's wrong with Coca Cola Field? Having said that, I'm not sure an MLS team in Buffalo will pull 20,000+ at the necessary price point.

Carey Bender, Marv's other Coe College RB. I also remember being excited about Yonel Jourdain.

Why would Whitner joke about the Bills moving... considering he plays for the Browns? Dude's a genius.

-A "PED suspension waiting to happen" is factual? -He did overpursue at times but it wasn't often enough to be considered epidemic. He was a rookie playing inside when his natural position is outside. Occasionally misreading gaps is understandable. -As with the majority of your subjective opinions (not facts) the burden of proof is on you to show that Alonso was "undisciplined and all over the field". I don't think anyone else that watched the Bills comes away with these conclusions. -The Bills defense was bad in a variety of ways, but they finished 9th in yds allowed and were 2nd in sacks and takeaways--- even if they were terrible against the run, the 2013 Bills defense cannot possibly be considered "monumentally horrid". -People love him because he was outstanding for a rookie LB. "2 good games"? Nonsensical hyperbole. Alonso wasn't perfect and no one claims that he was--- fans, coaches, broadcast analysts and journalists everywhere were excited to see Kiko grow his sophomore season in his natural position and surrounded by an improved defensive cast. You chose to go a different route for no other reason than so everyone would notice you. Congratulations on your success. Now we can go back to ignoring you.

NFL teams can no longer use a physically different 2nd helmet--- in the Bills' case, both their throwback and modern helmets are white, so when they wear the throwbacks they just change the decal from charging blue buffalo to the standing red buffalo. In other words, the Bills cannot wear both a white and a separate red helmet during the same season.

There is a reason: to drive up the bid as much as possible--- which is totally fair. If 10 groups bid and 5 want to move the team, the 5 local bidders won't know it thanks to the non-disclosure agreement. It could be the difference between $900,000 and $1.3B.

NY Post Page 6 isn't exactly "reputable", but I'm not sure I doubt this is true. Then again, considering he's friends with Jerry Jones and has substantial financial backing it's no surprise that Bongiovi could get a meeting with Goodell.

In your opinion, would a quicker sale favor any particular bidders that have been named--- or perhaps, any type of bidder (ie, individual vs. group; bidders with greater liquidity; etc)?
