He is old, but unless you have a contract out on him, I do not know any businessman who will lay aside $700 Mill (a business magazine of the Bills value) or even worse will secure a loan from some bank based on the theory of when some person of the health status of Ralph is going to kick the bucket. It probably has been said in the media, but truth is a sidelight of their job of publishing column inches so they can sell ads around them. Unless you have some deadlock certain showing of the imimnent death of Ralph and even then further insight into how he has configured his will, there is no financial deal similar to th one you theorize about.

Arkady Renko Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I meant where they got this information to begin with. They are citing the DandC, but I see no such story on that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Saints aint movin. Benson and the league would get killed if they bailed on NO now. 659310[/snapback] As opposed to Buffalo, who no one would care if we lost our team. Yes, by all means, keep the NFL in a decimated city that is this far from being wiped off the map by the next hurricane! Meanwhile Jacksonville has to cover up seats in the Gator Bowl so they look sold out. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR 659372[/snapback] i wonder whats up with jacksonville??? i thought i heard last season that jacksonville dosnt have to sell their stadium out to avoid the blackout rules for tv...........................basically something on the lines of all these empty seats are not up for sale so they do not count....which is a total sham..jacksonville to me has no great fan base being that they are one of the newer teams in football they consistantly do not sell out.so move those guys to L.A............it seems everybody wants a team in L.A except the fans in L.A.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Vic Carucci said that the Bills will ALWAYS be mentioned on the "short list" of teams moving to L.A., but won't ever move. The sooner it gets filled, the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCBongo Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I understand LA is a huge TV market, but two teams have all ready failed their. The LA market apparently does not care about football. And what was on the D&C is Tom Golisano is hinting he would do what he could to keep the Bills in Buffalo. Considering the guy is a Billionaire, he could probably do plenty!
