    Jim Kelly on 97 Rock

    I missed part of it, but he talked about the Bills staying in WNY.

    The short version is that he and Jack Kemp have investors lined up to buy the team and keep them in WNY. He also talked about a waterfront stadium.

    He has talked to Ralph about this plan. He understands (and respects) Ralph's wishes and pointed out that if Ralph was only interested in money he would have sold the team long ago.

    Basically he sounded confidant that he and Kemp can buy the team when necessary.

        Guys, you are dreaming if you think Kelly and Kemp and their investors are ending up with this team.

        It may stay in Buffalo but it won't be with either one of these two in the purchase agreement.

        Just so you know the NFL would most likely not approve a group buying this team. So unless Kelly has an extra billion laying around it aint happening.

          Then Ralph can pretend to leave it to them in his will.

                Why wouldn't they approve?? Do you have inside info? Are you a NFL exec?

                  there aren't any group ownership arrangements in the NFL?

                      why? There are plenty of group ownership arrangements around the NFL.

                      Plus, when you're talking about billion-dollar franchises, there are only a handful of people who have that kind of money and an interest in owning a team. The NFL further limits itself by not wanting owners who own teams in the other major sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL). Something has to give eventually or else the NFL is going to run out of potential owners.

                      The way it typically works is someone is majority owner and acts as the owner at NFL meetings and such, while the team is run by all the owners jointly, similar to a corporate board of directors with the majority owner as CEO.

                      I think it would be in the NFL's interest to have a former player who knows the league and the city as well as a congressman on the ownership team.

                        The NFL has clamped down some on team ownerships, yes. For example, no one is allowed to do what the Packers did (sell it to 'the public') any more.
                        "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

                          NFL approves Raiders minority ownership deal

                          ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The NFL gave approval Wednesday to allow the Oakland Raiders to sell a 20 percent minority interest in the team to a small group of investors.
                          The deal gives the group no control of the franchise now or in the future. Owner Al Davis and his family remain in charge of the Raiders as they have for more than four decades.
                          The deal to sell the minority interest in the team was unanimously approved without debate at the NFL owners meeting in Philadelphia, league spokesman Joe Browne said.

                          As MikeInRoch said, the public option is pretty much ruled out but here's an article on how GB does it...

                          Ownership makes Packers best in NFL

                          Green Bay is very unique in that the team is owned by its fans. According to their official web site, 112,015 different people all own stock in the Packers. This group of people stays large and diverse because there is a cap as to how much stock each person can own to ensure that no one person or group will attain too much power. All of these stockholders entirely fund the Packers, and because dividends are not paid out, all the money generated by the team is put back into the team.

                          All stockholders also have a say in team affairs. It works much like our own American government. Every year in July, stockholders arrive at Lambeau Field to elect a board of directors.

                            The day Jim Kelly is part of the ownership of the team is the day I immediately buy season tickets for the rest of my life.

                              The packers public ownership can't happen again...ever. NFL has stated as such.

                              A group can buy the Bills, true, but someone has to be a majority owner. Kemp and Jimbo putting their money together at best would be like a 10% share of the team. I think I'm high on the percentage though, either way, not likely to happen.

                              The thought is cool though and gives some people hope.
