  1. Do have the Knicks and Mets
  2. He can put together an O-line...
  3. 1. we all know/knew who his Canadian partners were. EVERYBODY was speculating that they might move the team north (because they are from Canada!). That's why Trump made this move. 2. any bidder was going to squeeze the public for a new stadium at the end of the Ralph lease. That's not even worth mentioning. There was no canadian stadium waiting. Likewise, any bidder would know they had a better chance of getting a heavily subsidized stadium that would be far cheaper for them than a relocation fee and kicking in for a new stadium somewhere else (as you pointed out). Moving would have been incredibly expensive. That group didn't have that cash money for all this. 3. "The NRA"?? they were in on this too?? wow!! 4. reports were that Bon Jovi group had 1.3 billion offer on the table. 5. The "Trump story" obviously wasn't told by Trump--in fact, his involvement was kept secret throughout. The entire scheme was cooked up because Trump could not get his lender to sign off a statement verifying his net worth....because he constantly lies about it. Plus he didn't want to bid over 1 billion (which he was only putting up 20% in cash). So he had Caputo cook up this scheme to trash the JBG group. It's not "mythology". Once Trump made his bid, he "disassociated" with the group---but it went to the next level with Caputo. 6. the scheme didn't consist of "distributing some fliers' by "Caputo" (lol): "With Trump having removed himself from the picture, Caputo took the gloves off. "We immediately made it far more aggressive and anti-Toronto than the president ever envisioned, mostly because we didn't have to worry about getting him crossways with the NFL," he said. The group gathered thousands of signatures for a petition demanding the team remain in Buffalo and started a "Ban Bon Jovi" movement to rid upstate New York of the New Jersey rocker's music. A local radio station, Jack FM, started playing a version of "Livin' on a Prayer" with new lyrics that went, "Johnny used to get played on Jack / Now he wants our Bills / But Buffalo just won't take that / He's wack." It generated so much noise and color that Texas A&M, which has trademarked the phrase "12th man" took notice and sent a cease-and-desist letter to the group over its use of the phrase." there's more detail in this article:https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-shady-scheme-to-buy-nfl-buffalo-bills 7. "double what they are currently worth" would place them at 7.4 billion--that would make them the 2nd most valuable team in the NFL. There is zero chance that moving the Bills to out of the country would make them the 2nd most valuable team in the league. That's laughable.
  4. yes those articles detail who the guy’s Canadian partners are. That was the “public knowledge”. Partners from Canada naturally raise the question of might the team move. Noting in those articles details any plan to move. Soon after the second article you cited was published, Trumps plan was devised (no doubt picking up on this speculation and pumping it up as inevitable. it was no more likely to happen then Pegula moving the team if he didn’t get everything he wanted for this new stadium. you really weren’t “onto” anything, it turns out.
  5. they were never going to move. Only a few still refuse to believe that. Pine for who? As long as the team has competent, non meddling ownership, who cares who owns the Bills? Or any team, right? I’m just pointing out your continued folly of belief. You’ll by any BS that guy wants you to.
  6. he had a very bad experience...
  7. Ask Bob Kraft. He fooled everyone in your town except you. Yet this scheme cooked up by one famous swindler got you hook line and sinker. Anyway, there was a way out, but it would be very expensive until the lease ran out (when, Ironically, "the guy who saved the Bills from moving to Toronto" threatened to move the team if he wasn't gifted a new stadium! can't make THIS stuff up lol). Plus, the Bills stipulated that any bidder that mentioned or was found to be planning to move the team could not participate in the bidding process. So obviously the trust overseeing the bids didn't believe the team would be moved. The "moving to Toronto" stuff was a complete and well orchestrated fabrication, that's all. Why anyone would still believe this, in 2023, after all that became public knowledge years ago, is employing willful ignorance.
  8. A study by bidders who live in Toronto? So what? Ralph’s ghost put a poison pill in the sales contract re: moving the team. You were taken in by your boy again Do c. The “noise” (moving to Toronto) WAS the scam. It was orchestrated and worked to perfection. All involved have admitted this.
  9. He's no Jerry Jones...
  10. he's no Fendi Onabun...
  11. How many teams carry 4 true RBs? What would be the gameplan for the 4 of them?
  12. So....4 RBs? Is that the right number?
  13. again with the Colt McCoy stuff?? come on people...
  14. The Browns should be an unnamed team
  15. Still a bum
  16. If it wasn’t a business for him he would not have dissolved his sports business company and named himself president of both teams. He would sit back and pay some other people to do all of that, and simply bask in the glow of being an owner. as for Toronto, this was some time ago to have been revealed as a scheme Trump put his pal Mike Caputo up to really pump up the Bon Jovi group as the villains who were going to be moving the team. He in turn created the phony “12th Man Thunder” Bills backer group, who in turn went around doing anti Bon Jovi stunts at bars etc that got regional and national press. Trump didn’t have the money to outbid that group, so he hatched this scheme. Caputo recruited some locals who lived near the stadium. Trump as the instigator was kept secret by the groups local leader, who admitted to really cranking up the anti-Toronto angle, the the point where the media attention got so loud that Texas AM sued the leader for copywriter infringement. This went badly for A and M nationally so the leader of this group swindled 25 k out of the school—and then dialed up the “they will move the Bills to Toronto” volume to 11. after Pegula got the nod, the group actually continued as a sort of charity with free tickets. so, shockingly, it all turned out to be another shady business dirty pool scheme by the “strawberry blonde”. Go figure. this all came out years ago
  17. people still believe this...crazy
  18. almost 1000 yards, 8 TD total
  19. Damien Harris leads RBs in rushing yards
  20. The valuation wasn’t there years ago”. Obviously. He’s keeping them because he feels he’s really good at owning an NHL team? It’s an ego thing? seems a delusion
  21. makes no business sense. Why lose money on a refurb when you can cash out now and let the next guy put his money in that pit. owning an NFL team is the real cache. Adding the NFL is just a revenue drain in this case. he can still where meat his hat and jersey and stop by the locker room…
  22. Brown was a 1000 yard receiver in AZ--million year old Carson Palmer "made" him that. Beasley has never had a 1000 yard season. Diggs was "made" a 1000 yard receiver by Cousins. Josh hasn't made anyone a 1000 yards receiver yet.
