                No and I dont think you understand why I said this doesn't sound great.

                Re-Read the story, there is a paragraph in there that if you are a NFL fan should scare you.

                  Point of reference is the NFL & not specifially the Buffalo Bills. The NFL will probably be sloshing money over to feed the small-market teams, which helps Buffalo.

                      Cause and effect.

                      We know the power brokers amongst the owners want to move the Bills to a better market.

                      Let's say they waive the first part of Schumer's request and do not make the repayment due on sale of team to a new owner. That means the Bills will likely renovate, which is great.

                      But Im not sure they will go with the enforcement of punitive punishment for moving since that's what many of them want. If they only enforce part of Schumer's plan it could have very bad results for the Bills.

                      This is of course all speculation but there is too much relying on people who want the Bills to move being ok with helping the Bills stay for me to be comfortable with it.

                      However its far better than some ridiculous piece of federal legislation or regulation.

                          Yes of course, simply stating that there are alternative scenarios to what could happen. Certainly not saying they will or should happen.
