Brandon: Bills are NOT for sale

[DraftBoy]

Just came across my phone as an ESPN alert.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Following a report Sunday from CBS Sports that rock star Jon Bon Jovi is interested in buying the Buffalo Bills, CEO Russ Brandon said Wednesday that the team is not for sale.

"No," Brandon told WGR 550 in Buffalo. "Mr. [Ralph] Wilson is the owner of this franchise. We expect him to be the owner for many, many years."

Death watch continues...

Re: Brandon: Bills are NOT for sale

So basically, there is no news?

Everyone knows the Bills are not and will not be for sale as long as RW is alive.

The people that are serious about buying this team have had a plan in place for years now and will deny any interest out of respect to RW and the organization. Then when he passes, those who denied or stayed quiet will line up and get things going.

'many, many years'

Russ does know Wilson is 95 right?

Re: Brandon: Bills are NOT for sale

The only way to guarantee the Bills stay here is for the city and state deciding to stop wasting money upgrading the Ralph, and get serious about building a viable stadium downtown or elsewhere to lock them in for good, and kiss Toronto good bye. I don't really see where we need that money from Toronto to be profitable. And we certainly aren't generating a fan base up there.

Re: Brandon: Bills are NOT for sale

Yes, Russ, we know the team is not for sale.

We also know that the team will go up for sale the second Ralph dies, and we also know Ralph is 94 and in declining health. So, stop treating us like morons.

Re: Brandon: Bills are NOT for sale

Just say the team is not for sale. To add the many many years comment really makes him look like an idiot.

so if he says, "he could go any minute now", he'd also be saying "my job as a CEO could go any minute now"

The key for russ' self interest is to have some minority stake deeded to him (because clearly Ralph looks after russ like a son) and russ works the sale process and gets a finders fee. Then hopefully the douche has enough money to never have to be part of football ever again.

Re: Brandon: Bills are NOT for sale

When you're 95 you have to convert years into days. But saying "many many days" although a lot funnier would be considered rude to his boss

Let's just say Ralph buys his ice cream by the pint these days

Hey Russ... **** you.

Re: Brandon: Bills are NOT for sale

Yes, Russ, we know the team is not for sale.

We also know that the team will go up for sale the second Ralph dies, and we also know Ralph is 94 and in declining health. So, stop treating us like morons.

Lets see a link about Ralph being in declining health.

This is the second time you posted that, but everything I have heard & read says Ralph is in good health for his age.
