eball Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Until Kryk or Wawrow report it -- and then Graham retweets it -- I'm not believing anything I hear.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Last Call! @JohnKryk If you're still thinking of submitting a binding, definitive bid for the #Bills you have exactly 1 hour to do it
TheFunPolice Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 daniel kaplan @dkaplanSBJ 3m Just heard from another finance source backing up SBJ report today that there will be Bills bids today from parties not identified in press Some media members are starting to feel it. They want this team moved for the "excitement" and "novelty" (not to mention the controversy they could then write about). Soon their fantasies will be crushed. All the "Bon Jovi is going to buy the Toronto Bills" BS you get on national sports boards from other NFL fans who only vaguely follow the Bills will end.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Last Call! @JohnKryk If you're still thinking of submitting a binding, definitive bid for the #Bills you have exactly 1 hour to do it I've got $7 in my wallet. Anyone else what to pool their money?

GA BILLS FAN Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 The bid deadline has past !! All bids must be in, of course that's until the trust agrees to accept a late bid
bbb Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 The bid deadline has past !! All bids must be in, of course that's until the trust agrees to accept a late bid Exactly! The old soft deadline!
SF Bills Fan Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I would not be surprised if some kind of shenanigans are pulled. Because Buffalo.

All the "Bon Jovi is going to buy the Toronto Bills" BS you get on national sports boards from other NFL fans who only vaguely follow the Bills will end. You might be right about this, but I don't get the vibe that too many in the mainstream sports media actually WANT the Bills to move. What I think we are getting from them is the desire to have an interesting storyline. They thrive on controversy---real or otherwise. The actual story of this sale is fairly boring.
boyst Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I actually think its the boogieman and the monster under the bed that will be bidding against Pegula today. Don't worry about the monster under the bed. He will stay away from this if he knows better, that thing is terrified of me.
Jerry Jabber Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 2m Pegula bid is in. Trump bid is in. And I'm told the Bon Jovi/Toronto group is quietly confident it can pull off an upset. Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 3m Multiple bids submitted today for Bills. Trust's target price higher than $1 billion the Browns sold for in 2012 almost certainly to be met.
sodbuster Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Timmy tweeting that the JBJ group is "quietly confident it can pull the upset." I'm quietly confident they can suck it.
Realist Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 4m Pegula bid is in. Trump bid is in. And I'm told the Bon Jovi/Toronto group is quietly confident it can pull off an upset.

jahbonas Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 5m Pegula bid is in. Trump bid is in. And I'm told the Bon Jovi/Toronto group is quietly confident it can pull off an upset. How would this even be possible (selecting a JBJ Toronto group over a Pegula bid) if in fact the trust was instructed to keep them team local? This does not jive with what Bandit27 has been saying??

Just because the Toronto group is confident, doesn't mean they are going to win. It's still Pegula's to lose. Timmy tweeting that the JBJ group is "quietly confident it can pull the upset." I'm quietly confident they can suck it. :thumbsup: Tim Graham @ByTimGraham 2m Though some outlets have reported Golisano out of derby, other sources say still interested. Unsure if he bid today. Plays by his own rules.

How would this even be possible (selecting a JBJ Toronto group over a Pegula bid) if in fact the trust was instructed to keep them team local? This does not jive with what Bandit27 has been saying?? What doesn't jive? A source saying the TO group is confident? Now if the report said a reputable source said the TO group bid was likely to win---THAT would not jive with what we know. For what it's worth, if the TO group is "quietly confident" then I assume they have provided a rock solid commitment to keep the Bills in Buffalo. I still don't think they have a chance, even with that commitment.
jahbonas Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Just because the Toronto group is confident, doesn't mean they are going to win. It's still Pegula's to lose. They should not even be considered since they really cannot be trusted to keep the team in Buffalo. I dont care what they may sign. What happens if JBJ offers 1.5 and Pegula offers 1.3?
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 What happens is that the trust sells the team to the bidder to whom they want to sell the team. That's always been the case.
