  1. Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 14m I'm told a Toronto-based group interested in buying the Bills is reconsidering because moving might be too difficult.
  2. Joe Buscaglia ‏@JoeBuscaglia 35s That's a big one. MT @judybattista Told by someone with very good knowledge of Bills sale "Whoever buys it has to be prepared to stay there"
  3. Good point. We also have not had a formal announcement from Jacobs, Pegula or another dark horse candidate with local ties on what their plans are either. The serious candidates are probably waiting until the investment bank is in place to make their intentions known.
  4. Out of respect for Jerry Jones , once a New Bills Stadium is built in WNY, the inaugural event at the stadium should be a Jon Bovi Concert.
  5. One thing is for sure, Whaley and Monos are much cooler than the old regime.
  6. Nice pick up. Love that they were trying to be even more aggressive and get back into the second round.
  7. Kiper gave the Seahawks a C- for their 2012 draft as well. He said this Russell Wilson is a great test case for shorter QBs, because he has everything else, but did they need him in the third round after grabbing Matt Flynn to come in and likely start? And the Bleacher Report had this to say about the same draft As if the day wasn’t bad enough, Seattle selecting Russell Wilson, a QB that doesn’t fit their offense at all, was by far the worst move of the draft. Gave them a F. Hopefully the Bills have the same results in 2 years!!
  8. Mike Loyko ‏@NEPD_Loyko 1m Colt Lyerla not getting much attention from NFL teams. Nothing on the horizon as of this minute
  9. LB Louisville.
  10. Sorry to see him go, but at least he gets to play in his hometown.
  11. With Erie County being one of the three parties involved in the new stadium feasibility study, I cannot see them allowing a stadium to be built in Niagara Falls, but I suppose anything is possible. Is it possible the new stadium is built around The First Niagara Center, with relocation of the Perry Housing Projects?
  12. Jay Skurski from the Buffalo News is reporting that Goodell states the Bills will need a new stadium to remain viable in WNY This explains why things are moving fast on a new stadium front
  13. Nice job, a lot of Bills Fans have the same feelings going to the games.
  14. With states moving towards legalizing it, the NFL is going to have revisit the issue soon.
  15. Buffalo itself is a small market, hence the regionalization of the franchise to Southern Ontario and Rochester Regions. New York State will be the largest contributor to funding of a new stadium, thereby not limiting it strictly to Erie County Taxpayers. A domed stadium in combination with a new convention center that could be used year round, is one possible way to make a new complex more economically feasible. In terms of the PSLs, I believe this is where the Buffalo Fan Alliance comes into play. The BFA would be able to loan the new owners money towards the building of a new stadium, that would offset the need for PSLs or at least make the amount charged much less.
  16. The Buffalo News is reporting NY State hired a California Firm to study sites for a New Bills Stadium. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/state-hires-california-firm-to-study-sites-for-new-bills-stadium-20140506
  17. The price would be higher since the Bills would have face him twice a a season.
  18. This is what King had to say about the Bills in his column after the Bills drafted EJ. I doubt too much has changed this year in terms of true information getting out. The Bills said the same thing about Tavon Austin last year as well to generate trade interest for the eighth pick.
  19. Any mock draft that has the Bills getting Evans or Watkins is a home run in my book..
  20. Plus there is this from 2011 shortly after Pegula bought the Sabres http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/7325044/buffalo-sabres-owner-terry-pegula-buys-nfl-player-agent-company
  21. Not sure if these have been posted. Jerry Zremski, one of the authors of the article was on NFL Sirius Radio with some interesting tidbits These are from Mike Watkins Twitter Acct: Mike Watkins ‏@Merk256 Jerry Zremski on Sirius: things look good for the Bills staying in Buffalo...multiple people in the area will makes bid Jerry Zremski on Sirius: Jacobs is emerging as the leader to buy the #Bills...One of Jacobs sons would relinquish his rights to the bruins Jerry Zremski on Sirius: Need to be a Billionaire... Trump, Casino not a concern to the NFL, they are publicly traded entity Jerry Zremski on Sirius: Stadium Situation, Ralph 2nd oldest and outdated, there is interest in a new stadium, group working to build a new Jerry Zremski on Sirius: Governor and Shumer are very invested in keeping the #Bills in Buffalo. Governor very invested in Buffalo Jerry Zremski on Sirius: Economic turn has started in Buffalo, politicians recognize this and #Bills leaving would hurt/stunt growth Jerry Zremski on Sirius: Pegula has been key, waterfront redevelopment has been key, private sector showing interest in the area Jerry Zremski on Sirius:building a stadium in Buffalo will be priority over Niagara Falls. Type of stadium up to debate retractable/open air
  22. Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 5m Bills source tells me Titans called to gauge interest in Chris Johnson, but Bills weren't interested. (1/2) Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 4m Bills source thinks Titans floated Bills as possible trade partner for Chris Johnson to make it seem like they didn't just cut him. (2/2)
  23. This was a nice way to wake up on a Sunday Morning. Stan Kroenke has set the precedent by owning the St Louis Rams as well as the Colorado Avs and Denver Nuggets. I believe he transferred ownership of the Avs and the Nuggets to his son to comply with NFL Ownership Rules.
