    Golisano to bid for Dodgers

    Not directly Bills related, but since Golisano's name has been floated as a potential owner for the Bills, I thought this was pretty interesting: http://belowthefalls.com/home/story/...ers-la-dodgers

    The source tells me that Golisano, who also purchased the Buffalo Sabres of the NHL when they were in bankruptcy in 2003, will submit a formal application for the Dodgers, a team reportedly worth between $800 million and 1.2 billion dollars.
    Interesting to note that, even if Golisano buys the Dodgers, he could still buy the Bills, as currently, there is no NFL team in Los Angeles.

    Pay attention to how he runs the Dodgers. Terry Pegula he ain't.

      he's becoming a repo man on sports franchises. he gets them cheap, rehabilitates them asset wise, and leaves a richer man.

        well people have speculated that he didnt have the $$ to buy the bills.... the dodgers are worth more than the bills.... not saying he'll get them, but if he has enough to bid on them, he definately has enough to buy the bills

          If he has the winning bid for the Dodgers, then he's automatically out of the competition for buying the Bills. League rules forbid an NFL owner from owning a different major sports franchise outside the market area of the NFL team in question. I didn't think he was considered a serious threat to buy the Bills in any case.
          I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

          I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

            You are incorrect. TG can own the Dodgers and the Bills because there is no NFL team in L.A. Paul Allen owns the NFL Seahawks and the NBA Trailblazers.
