Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 1 hour ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Was Donald Trump the secret force behind the seemingly grassroots 2014 campaign to block Jon Bon Jovi from buying the NFL's Buffalo Bills? That's what those involved are saying now, three years after the billionaire and the rocker were competing to buy the Bills. At the heart of the effort was the creation of a fan group called 12th Man Thunder that pushed to keep the team in Buffalo and exploited already rampant speculation Bon Jovi planned to move the franchise to Canada. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/11/was_donald_trump_behind_2014_effort_to_foil_bon_jovis_bid_to_own_buffalo_bills.html Ralph Wilson saved the Bills by virtue of the stadium lease 1

He is all about helping others If anything, I would believe that he was behind spreading rumors that the group Bon Jovi was part of would immediately move them to Toronto as a way of trying to get more support and ruin a competitor.

Kirby Jackson Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 That jackass had nothing to do with it!! He hung around and bid low enough so that people would say “he tried.” He was never going to buy them. He just wanted the publicity.

KD in CA Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 I never believed for a minute Trump had the cash to be a serious bidder, but if he helped smear a Toronto bid, that’s ok with me.

Boatdrinks Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 He had the money, but wouldn't consider the Bills regardless of cost because he actually would have kept the team in Buffalo. Only the Pegulas bid on the Bills with the intent to keep them in Buffalo even if the cost didn't make a lot of financial sense. Once the parameters for the team's future were made known to the interested parties, the bids were driven downward.
