coltrane34 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I hope this is not true but I was emailed this info from a reliable source. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but it's interesting reading..... At a meeting Tom Golisano dropped a bombshell about the nefarious Ralph Wilson. Golisano claims that Wilson's intentions all along have been to move the Bills to Toronto. Stay with me on this......there are businessmen in Toronto that are ready to plunk down mega-millions for the Bills and move them there. Wilson already let the NFL know of this (Apparently they can't stop him either). Golisano & the people from Rich Products offered Wilson a similar financial package but Wilson demurred....when they offered him more, he demurred again...& said he wouldn't sell the team to them no matter how much they offered; it's not about money. Wilson wants it to be his legacy that he be the first person to bring international play to the NFL. Still with me..? There's more.... Not to be dismayed, TG went to the NFL & has an agreement that when the Bills move, they cannot take their name with them, ala Baltimore Colts/Ravens. After the move to TO, Buffalo will be granted an expansion franchise with the promise that they build a new stadium & sell it out for 5 consecutive years. (the NFL wants a franchise in Buffalo because it's one of the original teams & has history in the league) TG agreed to do this & will build a DOMED stadium on the waterfront in Buffalo with a capacity of 60,000. In addition, Buffalo will be granted a Super Bowl in the future. The caveat to this is that Buffalo will be without a football team for 3-4 years. The wheels are already in motion & no one can stop it. TG says that RW is playing the game right now..ie: crying the blues about money, saying enjoy the team while it's here, not signing/keeping star players, etc. Next year or possibly the year after the BIlls will be gone. Willis McGahee may have let the cat out of the bag with his recent TO talk in Penthouse. Star players don't want to come to B-lo because they know RW is a tight ass. TG also said that if he ran the team he will not be such a cheapskate & would turn things around in a hurry like he did with the Sabres.
coltrane34 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Again I hope this is Bull, but it falls in line with wilson's mentality. It would be nice to see a new stadium and possible Superbowls in Buffalo, but not at the expense of losing the team for 4 years. Ralph you had better get you s** together or there are going to be many Bills fans waiting for you when you enter the gates of HELL.
udonkey Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Isn't this the 3rd time that YOU have posted this same thing? Christ dude...yes, the Bills are moving to Toronto. Get over it.

Why are you replying to your own post?
coltrane34 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Why are you replying to your own post? I didnt want to interject my own feelings into the post until after. I wanted the story to speak for itself.
coltrane34 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Isn't this the 3rd time that YOU have posted this same thing? Christ dude...yes, the Bills are moving to Toronto. Get over it. I have never posted this. In fact I never believed there would be a chance of a move until now.
rastabillz Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I have never posted this. In fact I never believed there would be a chance of a move until now. The Bills are not moving to Toronto, they are moving to Sloan.
smokinandjokin Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I hope this is not true but I was emailed this info from a reliable source. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but it's interesting reading..... A reliable source tells me that you're not very bright...
Fan in Chicago Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I didnt want to interject my own feelings into the post until after. I wanted the story to speak for itself. Story ? It was an e-mail dude - I could cook something up like that and circulate it. Bet it will circulate like a chain letter among Bills fans. And this is just me, but any reference to a 'reliable source' immediately reduces the credibility of that 'news'.

dave mcbride Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Wilson wants it to be his legacy that he be the first person to bring international play to the NFL. This is, on its face, one of the more laughable surmises I've seen in awhile. An 87-year old man wants his eternal legacy to be ... moving the team 30 miles as the crow flies to the 51st state???
NavyBillsFan Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I hear the team is moving to Kabul unless the Kenya deal falls through.

By the way- have you been in the ICU at the hospital lately? Or did you just get back from a cruise? Have you recently been released from prison? Or did you just crawl out from under a rock?

Must be a chain letter promising millions if you pass it on to 10 people.
Lurker Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Not Any way a spam filter could be added to TSW....
coltrane34 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Wow, Just thought that it was an interesting scenero. I didn't think that there was some need for journalistic integrity here. I was just passing a long what an actual friend sent to me. If it was a chain or posted before I apologize. So suck it.
slothrop Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 LOL! I was the last SOB who posted this story - maybe it should just be pinned.
