SF Bills Fan

Very good point there. But, with our luck, they will build in Niagara Falls on another Indian burial ground.

After the news of Kiko, i know we are truly cursed. I'm not worried about any outside groups wanting to buy the team. Why would they want this cursed team? It is like buying a very expensive and very haunted house.

Wow turned into real crap day

Tasker was a great player and a leader and and part of the core of a team loaded with HOF talent. He was usefull in so many ways but I definitely feel he changed what special teams was all about. I recall that Parcells held special drill prior to the super bowl that were called "Tasker Drill" specially designed to marginalized him. That speaks volumes about how highly valuable he was and respected. He was succesful despite the odds against a guy of that stature excelling. Tenacity drove him. He made other guys better. He made plays that would break open games. He will always be in the list of my favorite Bills. The HOF will not come calling, put if they ever put a special teamers wing in Cantin he woukd be the main exhibit.

Thick skin

I'm thinking 8-8 or 9-7. 3-13 is silly

This thing will be leakier than the Titanic after the iceberg strike. I am certain we will know exactly how it is going. If it is looking bad, watch the politicians start making threats. If you hear them start that, it is time to worry.

The only logical thing to do would be to sell the Sabres to someone in Hamilton so he can buy the Bills. but if we build a stadium in Hamilton, then what? Same market again!

I think the Goo Goo Dolls should buy the Argos and move them to Cheektowaga. See how Toronto likes the threat of losing their team to singers.

Agreed, he can put up the cash to outbid, if need be. I think that lease, political power players and the extremely wealthy people willing to put up the money will prevent anyone from the outside from even trying. I think my confidence level in the Bills staying is now at 99.9999% with a small margin in reserve in case an asteroid hits the city.

I have a hunch that this means a new stadium will be downtown in the stretch near the casino and a stone's throw from his new hotel and part of a large entertainment complex.

This is tremendous news. Unless there is some group that comes out of nowhere and wildly overbids (like Ballmer), he will be the owner.

Not enough cash. Golisano and Trump could outbid him. No threat. So we have the Twinkie King of the Midwest and a Twinkie rocker as threats. We are safe.

I'm still not certain he would be involved unless things were extremely dire. I think he is willing to let Golisano take a crack at it.

No. Game over man. (it's more effective if you picture that being said like Bill Paxton in Aliens)

Very blurry... I don't see distinct shapes... no spaceships or robots....I'm out.

Too bad we can't get him to come back as GM. He was the architect of the golden era.

The scary thing is, there could be a guy like Ballmer that is willing to way over bid for the Bills and not be worried about the 400 million buy out or a new stadium. They can justify it by reasoning that an NFL team in LA will be a 2 billion value in less than a decade. I think it unlikely, but this type of move makes one think. This talk of Sergei Brin may not be too far fetched.

I'd be seriously worried about relocation if he bought them.

Yeah- I saw his son is chairman. Easy transition.

I wonder what their succession plan is? I don't think they will be in play for sale.

Cannibal Corpse guys. Uniforms would be awesome.

I view this as positive. I have a friend that is pretty close with Golisano so I knew he had interest. The bills are very safe with Golisano as the owner. His intent is to prevent them from leaving. He had offers to sell the Sabres to out-of-towners and refused. People forget that as owner of the Sabres they were a few defensemen away from getting to and likely winning the Stanley Cup. They had very competitive teams when he owned them. There were some botched player transactions later in his ownership but you can't fault him completely. I think we would be good with him as owner.

I hate to say it, but Buffalo would never get a Super Bowl. we probably would not want it anyway. There would be too much scorn too much negative press.

70's probably. The league had matured after the merger and was starting to take off in popularity on TV and with Monday Night Football. It was still very affordable and blue collar and not that corporate. The players made less than many fans. I was a little kid but remember going to games at Rich Stadium. The Bills were not great that decade, but the league was getting great.
