Nice Support from Charger Land

[Kal-El]

Just came across this, from a columnist with a San Diego newspaper, on how the Bills remaining in Buffalo should be a priority.

I'm thinking of e-mailing this guy to tell him thanks from Bills Country.

Is it possible that the NFL will actually start to hear about the love-fest for keeping a team in Buffalo... and actually make it happen simply due to public outcry?

I think any outside paper / news entity supporting our cause should recieve a thank you of some sort...

the more people on board with keeping the Bills in western NY the better off we are IMO

I've always liked LT and those powder blue uniforms.

When we're not playing him.


EDIT: Wrong link. Anyone have the correct one?

Wow, that is a good article! The more and more I think about it, I don't see how the NFL can yank the team away from the city of Buffalo. It's too rabid and blue collar of a fan base, plus it's very spread out, all over the country. Look at the many Bills Backers and message boards for proof. I'm betting that there are several Buffalo Bills fans who are rich and will jump in the fray to buy the team and keep it in Western NY, the moment Ralph passes away. But I prefer there to be a secret deal behind the scenes with Ralph, making sure the team stays and Kelly helps run the team thru Golisano, Bob Rich, Jeremy Jacobs, Donald Trump or something else....

If Cleveland and Baltimore can lose a team, anyone can

Re: Nice Support from Charger Land

if trump can help out old Ed mcmahon, surely, he'll want to bail out the buffalo bills :-)

Thanks for fixing the link, Romes.

BTW, I think Buffalo, as a charter member of the AFL, should be given the same special status as Green Bay -- especially in regards to public ownership that will guarantee a team will remain in a community.

It's a pipe dream, I know, but Buffalo is deserving of special protectionist measures, considering how it is technically the smallest city in the NFL, behind Green Bay.

Jerry Magee is a 70 something legendary reporter, one of my all-time favorites. He's the original beat reporter of the Chargers and a great friend of retired Bills reporter Larry Felser.

Any original AFL team will get his undying support and he has always backed the Bills strongly when talk about a possible move has surfaced. He has been a regular contributor to PFW and other football publications for years. He's in the writers wing of the HOF.
