SF Bills Fan Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 you mean on a toxic waste dump Ladies and gentleman- welcome to Love Canal Stadium- home of the Buffalo Bills. We remind you to please refrain from drinking out of the water fountains more than once per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 That's certainly a big league hire. But another hint to Timma, stick to twit wars, and don't pretend to understand the business page. What the heck does this mean, "Even if they were to be released today or Thursday, billionaires generally aren't in their offices right up until a holiday weekend anyway." Well the Canadian bidders might be since yesterday was their holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 With Kiko out for the season 2 bidders have already dropped out and the others have dropped their bids by an average of 27.8% according to my sources. #wemissyouKiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough observation, but didn't he break the story, and if so shouldn't he get credit? Regardless of whether or not he broke the story, I do think that TG added to the story with his observation that Greenberg's decision to take Pegula on as a client is significant in that it signals that Greenberg sizes Pegula up to be a likely front runner. Not a TG fan by any means, but let's give props where they're due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a TG fan by any means, but let's give props where they're due. Haven't taken anything away from Timmy's scooping the story. If anything this is emblematic of his reporting style. I think he's a very good beat writer. But it's his penchant to go off the reservation and interject an opinion into a news story that drives me nuts, because very often that opinion is juvenile and wrong.

SF Bills Fan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I will be shocked if its not pegula I agree- all signs point to him. When you take into account the prohibitive structure of the lease, the cash needed- I see no other real serious bidder. I think it is his for the taking.

I'd guess the Buffalo guys that could be in the mix that aren't really talked about are Gundlach, Barry Snyder, and Chris Koch (New Era). Or is it someone that has no Buffalo connection?

CBF Nah, you put it in the right place. Do you have an idea who that might be? I'd guess the Buffalo guys that could be in the mix that aren't really talked about are Gundlach, Barry Snyder, and Chris Koch (New Era). Or is it someone that has no Buffalo connection? I've heard a few whispers that I'm sure--if true--will make their way out eventually. It's such a sensitive process that information is much, much tighter than I've ever experienced since my AP days. What I do know is that there are prospective bidders that both have and do not have Buffalo connections...what I believe is that we can all feel pretty confident about the team staying here. What I hope is that we'll know for sure soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) My only concern is some deep pocket LA group wildly overbidding. There will be no LA bidders. teams going to LA are one or 2 of St Louis, Oakland, and San Diego. The Bills will be in either WNY or Southern Ontario forever.

More likely one of the other franchises that you mentioned moving and botching up their plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rams are really looking ripe for the move right now...I agree that L.A. seems very far-fetched at this point. Then again, Toronto doesn't look so formidable either.
