Snorom Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 should be 100% if any owner votes no then its an anti Buffalo agenda reason IMO
BillsFanInLA Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Jerry will probably vote no and make it known, just to keep The Cowboys and himself in the news.
Bangarang Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Unanimous approval from the other owners.
Ted William's frozen head Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Pegula needs 75% of the owners to be in favor. Which owners vote Aye, which owners vote Nay? If they voted 'nay', then, there is no one left. WHO else could they vote for???????????????????? Bon Jovi??????????????????????????????????? Trump??????????????????????????????????? The alternatives are not at all acceptable. Period.
Roger Goodell Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The NFL doesn't do 'close votes'. We've had all the necessary conversations. October 8 will be a formality. Rest easy Bills fans.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Unless there were 10 likely people to vote no, there's no point in it other than to piss off the new owner when you never down the road, you may need his vote on something. As was pointed out in other threads, you don't get to be where these guys are and do things out of spite or pettiness. Actually wouldn't even be surprised to hear that JJ and TP have had their paths cross a fair amount as both are in similar businesses.
Kirby Jackson Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I'd be happy to give anyone 10-1 odds that it will be unanimous. You name the stakes. This will be the easiest win in my life. Edited September 10, 2014 by Kirby Jackson
PromoTheRobot Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Pegula just did all 31 owners a huge favor, raising the value of their franchises by hundreds of millions of dollars. You think anyone will vote no? What Pegula did is way more valuable than adding Toronto to the NFL.
The Dean Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 As long as he gets approved, do they even release the vote by owner name? Do they even say if anyone voted against him if he is approved?
Kirby Jackson Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 As long as he gets approved, do they even release the vote by owner name? Do they even say if anyone voted against him if he is approved? Typically they do. We know that RW was 1 of 2 owners to vote against the CBA. No worries though, Pegula is the ultimate no brainer. Liquid multi billionaire with all kinds of community and political ties is the other owner's DREAM scenario. He will get every single vote without hesitation.
TheFunPolice Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I agree that it will be 100% Pegula is the NFL's dream as much as ours. Pegula and his wife buying the team and being heroes to an entire region is a great feel good story for the league right when it needs one most. In the end, the NFL wants to make boatloads of cash and to be celebrated for doing so. Check and Check!

Liquid multi billionaire with all kinds of community and political ties is the other owner's DREAM scenario. He will get every single vote without hesitation. I'm not worried, Kirby,. Sorry if I gave that impression, But in the past, when owners have been rejected, have the names of the owners voting against been released? Similarly in those of approval, do we know who voted against the owner? This is a real question, as I don't recall the answer. Did anyone vote against Shad Kahn? I don't recall anything being reported.
TheFunPolice Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Pegula is the scenario where everyone wins BIG.

bg17 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Khan, Wilf, Haslam, Snyder all approved unanimously. Those are the only sales I could think of to look up.
jimmy10 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Is the vote public or not? If public, more likely to be 100% than if private.
