The Dean Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 @JohnKryk: I'm told binding #Bills bids due on Sept 9, #NFL finance comm meets Sept 17. So barring sale shortcuts, the trust will have just 1 week ... @JohnKryk: ... to choose a preferred bidder, negotiate a price and hammer out a purchase agreement. Oct approval dicey: http://t.co/blQ3QdpRoR #Bills @JohnKryk: But some of that could be done in advance to expedite, if trust intent on having new owner approved at Oct 7/8 owners meeting. Otherwise Dec Interesting. There has been some talk suggesting the December meeting wasn't an option. If it is, I suppose there is less pressure to make it happen ASAP. Still it seems like they will likely try to make the deadline for an Oct meeting. And for our sake and sanity, I hope that is the case.

And for our sake and sanity, I hope that is the case. I know it's been spoken of before but the "death" tax will probably hit before the December meeting. Not sure though. Don't know the December meeting date. Edited August 23, 2014 by The Wiz

Kelly the Dog Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Good stats but, um, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, and Justin Beiber don't really tweet their own tweets in all likelihood. They have people that do it for them. Or most of the tweets anyway. Katy Perry maybe.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Say it ain't so, Kelly. Next you'll tell me professional wrestling is fake. All my illusions shattered! It's so. I'm a nobody and my assistant posts most of my posts here, including 100% of the lousy ones and ones where there are mistakes.

The Dean Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Dogs have assistants? And they post here? I must be a real schmuck if I don't have an assistant. (No option to embed video anymore? Probably a good thing.) And with that, I wish you a good evening.

thebandit27 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I'm just wondering aloud here... Why are folks giving so much credibility to this Forbes report? I mean, a guy not connected to the sale cites two sources not connected to the sale that supposedly have the exact numbers? That just seems...odd.

I mean, a guy not connected to the sale cites two sources not connected to the sale that supposedly have the exact numbers? That just seems...odd. The problem is non of the reports should be considered credible. This has been a 2 horse race from the start, Pegula and Golisano. The lack of options the next owner will have outside of Erie County made this a 2 horse race.

The lack of options the next owner will have outside of Erie County made this a 2 horse race. I half agree with that--nobody ever had a shot at movin this team. It didn't really become a 2 horse race until the Pritzker family dropped out, as they were very closely involved from the beginning and definitely had the finances to compete. That said, I'm not wholly convinced its even a 2 horse race at this point. It's El Pegual and then everyone else.
GA BILLS FAN Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Not sure what to believe on the initial non-binding bids anymore, Kryk has been most reliable, if he's right, Pegula v. Golisano with an early knockout for Pegs in round 3, right around September 13th.
