boyst Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Malcom Glazer, owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team and Manchester United not football team. He just turned 85. Link Born in Rochester, New York as one of seven children, Glazer took over the family watch-parts business at age 15 following the death of his father and then continued his foray into the professional world, investing in other businesses. Glazer owned or was a substantial shareholder of a diverse portfolio of international holdings and public companies, including: First Allied, Zapata Corporation, Houlihan’s Restaurant Chain, Harley Davidson, Formica, Tonka, Specialty Equipment and Omega Protein. ]Mr. Glazer’s long established estate succession plan has assured the Buccaneers will remain with the Glazer family for generations to come. Linda Glazer, along with their five sons and daughter, will continue to own and operate the team as they have throughout the family’s ownership.[/b] #RIP Edited May 28, 2014 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Had no idea he was born in Rochester. Seemed like a good guy. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Man, the Bills get hosed in every way imaginable. Now we're not even the only team playing for their fallen founder. Ralph gets overshadowed even in death. The sport is rigged! Rigged I tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Ford died this year and I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that Bud Adams died at the end of the season. ...of the four deaths we are the only up for grabs franchise.

stony Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Always sad. Hate to say it, but a lot of Man U fans are having a pint right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Dam! He was from Rochester we could of had him buy the Bills, he was young buy our standards. ...Seriously, RIP I hope he had a plan so Bucs fans don't suffer uncertainty like us Bills fans are.

That's because none of Ralph's heirs want the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) That's because none of Ralph's heirs want the team. Yeah, I know. We've all known that for years. If they did I guarantee Ralph would have had a succession plan. It is just disappointing that it didn't workout that way...ya know, that Linda Bogden didn't pre-decease her father, or that he didn't have a couple more children who might have had an interest in in keeping the team. Hell, with Adams it looks like they have multi generations running the team. I just wish that would have been our situation.

BTW, former New York Giants owner Wellington Mara was also born in Rochester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very true. I am appreciative of the situation with Pegula. Btw, it is a minor fantasy of mine that the new Bills owner isn't just billionaire, but a serious billionaire (7 plus billion)...that would be nice weight to throw around during owners meetings when/if the Bills and Buffalo get picked on. ...wow about Mara. I did not know that, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
