All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Sooooooo, who do you want as the Bills' new owner?
Sooooooo, who do you want as the Bills' new owner?
My pick would be Jim Kelly. He already has investors to buy the team and you know he's
hungry to make this team competitive again and bring home that elusive Super Bowl trophy!
Who's your pick?
Re: Sooooooo, who do you want as the Bills' new owner?
So why is Jim talking about how he has all these people whose interested in buying the team and he's going to be the owner? I guess he'll be a minority owner and consultant in football operations instead, like John Elway.
Re: Sooooooo, who do you want as the Bills' new owner?
Kelly as owner I wish...forget about it though.

Re: Sooooooo, who do you want as the Bills' new owner?
I've thought a lot about this in recent years and while this isn't necessarily who I'd WANT as the Bills' owners, there's a lot that makes sense about the duo I'm about to mention...
Donald Trump and Vince McMahon.
Before dismissing this entirely, think a bit about it...
Both are multi-millionires, with Trump being a multi-billionaire. Vince is worth around half a billion, last I knew
Both have been involved in pro football before (Trump in the USFL and Vince with the XFL).
Both have a "soft spot" for the state of New York and while the "soft spot" is more for NYC, I think both would love to advertise the Bills as "The only team in NY."
Both are damn good at selling their product.
Both would do whatever it takes to win (at least financially).
They have ties to each other professionally.
Trump has ties to Jim Kelly, who could very well be a big part of Kelly's group.
Not saying it would be my ultimate choice, but it's completely plausible and I think they would be extremely likley to keep the Bills in WNY.

You're right, Vince and Donald hates to lose and will win at any cost. I think Trump may be one of the investors of the team Kelly is putting together, but as far as Trump being the majority owner, I can't see that and that goes for Vince, he's way too tied up in the WWE to give full attention to an NFL franchise.
Re: Sooooooo, who do you want as the Bills' new owner?
Trump will never own an NFL team. They wouldn't sell to him in the 80' s so he went all in with the USFL then drove them into the ground. Guaranteed, you'll never see the combover in the NFL.

I think a good part of that was due to him being heavily involved with his casinos at the time... I don't think he's nearly as involved with those now, but I could be wrong.
I'm not saying that either of them will, or even would be the "primary" owner. Either or would likley be part of a group.
While Vince is still the Chairman of WWE, he's not nearly as involved as he was in the past. His daughter and son-in-law are running a pretty good part of WWE now.
I also figured with everyone stating obvious names constantly, a couple names that nobody had even thought of, that would be potentially realistic, would open the discussion a bit more than the circles that constantly are talked around when this subject comes up.
