K-9 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) You're on your own Marcell. That was funny when Terry told him that. And once again, I refuse to add a caption for Kim's hand gesticulation. GO BILLS!!! Edited October 10, 2014 by K-9
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 We couldnt have asked for a better owner!!! CBF
Peter Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 You're on your own Marcell. Great job posting the photos. Much appreciated. Are they on the Bills site?

Kelly the Dog Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) The best parts of the press conference to me were that he wants to meet Jr. from Dominican Republic and that Kim can tackle! Edited October 10, 2014 by Kelly the Dog
Dirtbag Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 was i the only one who thought it odd that kim wasn't on the stage today? i sorta expected it considering she was always described in the lead up (and by terry in the presser) as a co-owner. would have been nice to finally hear from her.

Bucky would have written that she was meddling.

Just a "co-owner" in case it becomes a problem for him to run TWO teams.
3putt Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I honestly don't know how someone could be a true Buffalo Bills fan and not hate the Dolphins, really, really dislike the Jets, and absolutely detest the Patriots. The Jets really haven't ever been the threat of the other two teams, and have been a mostly a joke for a long time. From what I heard he was a Detroit Lions fan, and his children still are. He may be but his wife is true blue WNY. As for Detroit, Deluca may also be referring to the fact that he covets the success of the Red Wings and wants that to be the model for the Sabres. He is a hockey guy first and foremost. I think the Kraft references are along a similar vein. If you to be the best that is a good model to follow.

Like they said, they dont even know what her role is going to be. Most likely, it was done 50/50 because she is so much younger, to avoid the hassle of what happens to the team if/when Terry passes (far, far into the future).

I don't know this but my impression is that she is uncomfortable in the public spotlight, and talking in that situation. I know several people, who are very comfortable in meetings and in pressure situations but completely uncomfortable in front of cameras or large groups. She probably just doesn't like it. For his part, Terry said at least once, that she was "part" owner instead of co-owner as in 50%, as well as said it was a private matter what that percentage was. I'm thinking, but do not know, that if it were 50-50 he would have said that. Edited October 10, 2014 by Kelly the Dog
26CornerBlitz Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 I cannot FN wait until Sunday at 1 PM!!!
Kelly the Dog Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Just a "co-owner" in case it becomes a problem for him to run TWO teams. At least once he said "part owner" not "co-owner." It could have been nothing but I didn't think so. Also he has said several times "I" bought the team, or "my" team, which makes me believe it is not 50-50.
Dirtbag Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 At least once he said "part owner" not "co-owner." It could have been nothing but I didn't think so. ah. i somehow missed that distinction.

I get the impression that Kim is the real power of the two, and she didn't want to upstage her husband. I also gotta think they she is the one the FO needs to worry about.

I got a different impression as Terry stated his wife would be sitting in with him at owners meetings. Not sure how often that happens with other owners, I'm thinking not often, if never.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 @WGR550 If you missed it, you really should listen to Terry Pegula's entire #Bills press conference right here: http://media.wgr550....pegula …

I'm thinking, but do not know, that if it were 50-50 he would have said that. The ownership is for estate planning reasons. Marital property with right of survivorship passes to the spouse without estate tax penalty. Kim was a PR specialist, she is very comfortable in most situations and from friends that worked with her she is very, very bright. The Dragon Lady is one to reckon with.
