My condolences to that team.

What does "upswing" mean? It means there is a higher end, potentially. Like when they make the playoffs and people start returning to games. Terry bought the team for $189M. It doubled by 2018. A 100% ROI in 10 years is pretty good. And he could have gotten more from the group that eventually put a team in Seattle. And no, he's keeping them because he loves hockey. Again it's not a business for him. Yeah because the downtown Toronto stadium study they commissioned wasn't a huge red flag...

They were getting it regardless.

No way to criticize him for doing this.

He's looking for $12M/year.

The time to cut bait was years ago. He's not keeping the Sabres for business reasons.

Why do you think that? He was targeted 15 times but made just 6 receptions for 59 yards and a TD in the 3 pre-season games.

Maybe money to fix up that ratty arena? I don't know. Again I said it didn't make sense to sell the team, now that they're starting to get good. Selling 25% seemed like the most plausible explanation out of the "he did it to sell the team" scenarios.

I'd rather take Cunningham.

He'll get a windfall whenever he sells and he'll get to enjoy a winning team, which he's been waiting for for 12 years. He picked the right coach and GM with the Bills. And with a QB like Josh, he'll be able to get good ones in the future if need be.

Good.

Teams keep looking for the next Josh...

So one owner out of 32? You're basically making his point. Never mind that Kroenke ripped his home state's football team from it and moved it to LA purely just to make more money.

Agree on the first section. Disagree that adding RBs is the smart play.

The success with the Bills, despite the early hiccups, is the greatest entry he could have. The NFL is the premier sports league in the world. But yes, I brought up selling 25% and having the minority owner run the day-to-day stuff. Again no reason to completely sell the team now that they're finally good again.

Because they have a good, young nucleus and were 1 point away from making the playoffs last year. He also bought a team that had missed the playoffs for 14 straight years and within his 3rd full year of ownership they went back to the playoffs and keep going back. And that team is far more important of the two. So yeah, he can do what he wants.

D'oh!

"Faces lawsuit." LOL! If that doesn't tell you everything... That's worse than shooting someone on 5th Avenue, right?

Nothing. The damage has already been done.

A BIG LIE...when it's from the other side.

And if that's what's most important to people, we're ***** as a country.

Whoever barricaded the only road out of town needs to be prosecuted.

That judge is a clown.

Thurmond died in 2003. I guess that qualifies as before he died...

Hockey is Terry's first love. Why would he sell now that the team is setup for long-term success? It doesn't make any sense.
