mitchmurraydowntown Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Pittsford, N.Y. - It hasn't been a good week for Jon Bon Jovi. After Jim Kelly decided not to partner with Bon Jovi and his group out of fear that they would move the team to Buffalo, a group of Bills fans delivered 13,000 letters to training camp on Friday, one for every person who signed a petition against Bon Jovi being the next owner of the franchise. http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2014/08/buffalo_bills_sale_fan_group_d.html Edited August 20, 2014 by Just Jack Removed most of article, added link to full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Look at the first paragraph after the introductory sentence...why would people send 13,000 letters against BonJovi moving the team to Buffalo?? If you're gonna have a cause, at least send out Press releases that support your position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillnutinHouston Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 My amusement at reading about this is trumped by my astonishment at the poor coordination that is behind this effort. I wonder why I, a hardcore follower of the team, am just reading about this for the first time today after the letters are delivered? There should EASILY be 10X the number of mailbags sitting there. I suppose it's a moot point and kudos to those who got off their couch and did SOMETHING but is it that hard to publicize and organize a movement that literally has the sympathy and emotional support of a million plus people?

Mr. WEO Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 How did they find 13,000 people who actually think the Bills will be sold to JBJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 So who wrote it ? BFT or OP I assume it's a news item with the Pittsford, NY tag line. It's a Syracuse Post Standard article. I've added the link to the full article in the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 How did they find 13,000 people who actually think the Bills will be sold to JBJ? We still have half the posters here, who are constantly updated on a daily basis thinking that. Finding 13,000 people who don't follow the story closely would be easy.
