Kelly the Dog Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 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. She's a part owner. She sits in on big meetings with the Sabres. She's his partner in many definitions of the word. But it's impossible for me to believe the way he talks, and the way he often thinks before he talks, that she would be the one making the decisions like that when he say "I" and "my" so often. I think she is probably deeply involved in every major decision that he makes concerning the sports teams. He even referenced, or I thought he referenced, her being involved in big decisions in his East Resources business. 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. I agree with all that. I'm just saying a lot of people in high positions, and highly intelligent, are not comfortable talking in front of live TV cameras, even if they are PR and marketing people. I know a lot of them.
Peter Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 FWIW, the letter is signed by both Kim and Terry. Kim also was in the owners meeting.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Also, FWIW, Murph introduced Russ Brandon as "President of the Buffalo Bills" and Terry as "Owner and CEO," so Russ already relinquished his CEO title to Terry.
Jerry Jabber Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Great press conference today! Thank you again to Terry & Kim Pegula for saving the team. I'm really looking forward to this Sunday and kicking off the Pegula era. I am glad to hear the Pegula’s say they will plan for a new stadium. Today, the NHL announced that the NHL draft will be coming to Buffalo in 2016. I can imagine that once a new stadium is built, the Pegula’s will try to get the NFL draft, scouting combine, and Superbowl to come to Buffalo as well. For all the years we’ve complained about our sports owners being cheap, we’ve finally been rewarded with two people that truly care about our sports teams and us as fans.
LeGOATski Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Just so I'm clear, Terry and Kim Pegula are owners of the Buffalo Bills?
26CornerBlitz Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 Just so I'm clear, Terry and Kim Pegula are owners of the Buffalo Bills? @PegulaSE Terry Pegula: Kim and I are both owners of the Buffalo Bills.
K-9 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 After viewing all the photos of Kim Pegula, I would just like to join poojer in saying, "yes." GO BILLS!!!

After listening to Terry Pegula I gotta love him as the new owner of the Buffalo Bills, as he is so humbled by what Ralph Wilson accomplished in his 50+ year reign. Then at the same time I have to think the wife is the real driving force for his success. I dunno, maybe its just me.

The Wiz Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Guess which kid got Kim's genes... The one in the 1 jersey.
YoloinOhio Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 We couldnt have asked for a better owner!!! CBF He had shed tears over the Bills. He is now one of us.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I can't believe this press conference happened. I figured it would be the usual empty podium, buzzing sound. Great job, IT!!
YoloinOhio Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 So, um... Let me guess which one will be wining and dining the FAs at Tempo...
