Coach Tuesday Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 From what I understand that is indeed the case. Sounds like we have similar "understandings"
BigBuff423 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I am elated at the news and almost as happy about the endless driveling debate about the possibility of the team moving being dead...killed...executed with no hope of revival. I am one of the fans who thinks Pegula has done and is doing a hell of a job with the Sabres, and while he gave Regir a little too long to prove his ineptness I do think it was in hopes of being fair and in trying to ferret out the true culprit of under-achieving with the hockey side of the operations. That said, I hope Pegula maintains a well-balanced and reasoned approach to the BILLS and before simply setting the team on fire to burn it all to the ground, he takes stock of its value and assesses the real issues and allows a thorough evaluation of the team and its operations before doing too much just for the sake of change. However, Mr. Pegula, thank you and welcome to one of the best fan bases in all of sports and this makes today a banner day....I'm sure RW is looking down with his own sense of relief and hope for the future while knowing his BILLS are now being transferred to a good steward who will work and allocate resources to win and bring a championship to Buffalo. Excellent day to be a BILLS fan, hopefully, just the second (the first was Sunday) of many more to come this year and for many years to follow....
Kelly the Dog Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Kirby expressed it in the Sale thread but IMO it requires repeating here: I do appreciate the sentiments (and I think I speak for Kirby, Kelly, and a few others when I say they do as well). This was always about the team, the area, and the fans. It's a privilege being able to share some insights that could keep heads above water in a difficult time, but the most important part of this whole process is three-fold: 1) The team will be in Buffalo 2) The team will have dedicated, committed ownership for the next several decades 3) Ralph Wilson can now receive the accolades he deserves for ensuring that our Bills will never leave Thanks for that. 3) cannot be underestimated. Ralph may deserve to be criticized for some of the team decisions he made over 50 years, and even for some of the monetary decisions he made over that time, although today is surely not the day to dwell on them. But way too many wrongly thought of him as only about money, and not caring about Buffalo, and were simply ill-informed or cynical about what made him tick. I hope this cements the fact that he did truly care about the city and the people. Edited September 9, 2014 by Kelly the Dog
Doc Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I for one and sooooooooo glad this came just after a big emotional win for the team, too, for several reasons, not the least of which is fans that should be deliriously happy feeling, thinking and posting "Awesome but we still suck and EJ sucks." There is just such a wealth of optimism flitting through the air and the interwebs. Even if we lose to the dolphins and the pessimists (somewhat rightfully) come out again like 80,000 people in the 1973 preseason home opener said "Great stadium but the team still sucks" after Herb Mul-Key took the inaugural opening kickoff back for a TD for the Redskins... Enjoy these few days. Be happy. Be hopeful. The Bills being sold to Pegs made this season a success for me, regardless of what happened on the field. That being said, Bills fans going to the game better be screaming your lungs out when the Dols/opposing teams have the ball!

yall Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I'm working remotely, and while I am getting stuff done, admittedly I've had more productive days.
GunnerBill Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I'm at work but only have this site up. Have done zero work today CBF Haha likewise. And for the guy who said he was in Kansas City and nobody else would care or understand..... I'm in a Government building in London in the UK and the only other bloke who has a clue what I'm on about is my aforementioned Bears supporting boss and I don't know if he is still speaking to me......
YoloinOhio Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 @LaurenBrill4: Per source more than one bidder topped a billion.
Storm Front Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 This is fantastic news, which because I am a skeptical bastard honestly did not think would happen. I just hope it doesn't turn out like a Bills game from the past where they have the lead with under a minute left in the game and blow it. How soon do the owners vote?

Owner's meeting is Oct. 8, at which time they'll unanimously approve Terry & Kim Pegula.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I wonder if the Bills will see tons of custom Pegula jersey requests CBF
