    It’s fitting, we suppose, that at a time the Bills reportedly are trying to extend the window for selling beer at Ralph Wilson Stadium, the latest potential buyer of the franchise owns a brewery.

    According to Tim Graham of the Buffalo News, Pabst Brewing Company owner C. Dean Metropoulos could make a run at buying the team.

    “The Metropoulos family has a continued interest in acquiring an NFL franchise and expects to review any such opportunity,” a spokesman said.

    Metropoulos tried to buy the Jaguars in 2008. Three years later, Wayne Weaver sold the team to Shad Khan. Last year, Metropoulos revived the Twinkie, purchasing the snack cake division of Hostess through the bankruptcy process.

    Several potential buyers of the Bills have been identified via reports, and through their own public comments. The process could move quickly, with the overriding concern of the fan base being that the new owner won’t move the team.

              He lives in Connecticut, I'm sure he's not moving the team there. If he stays in CT then the closest he'll get is WNY. Then again, these guys and their private planes make a one hour trip from Rochester to OP seem like a 6-hour drive to NYC.

It's a protection mechanism.

              You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

              Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

              The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

              "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

              "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

              "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

              Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

              "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

                Pabst is for sale. They have been on a roll for a decade, sales are way up. Maybe buying the Bills is what Metropoulus is hoping to use the 1B he's going to get from a sale of the brewery. The one note of concern- Pabst is brewed in LA, don't know if Metropoulus has ties to that area.

                      It would probably be Löwenbräu, LOL.

                        Terry Pegula literally made more than this guys net worth just yesterday after selling land holdings for $1.75 BIL.

                        It doesn't increase Pegula's net worth (still $3.3 BIL) but it frees up $1.75 BIL in cash.

                        I still think/hope Terry's the guy.

                          I love PBR. I love The Bills. I get made fun of for liking both. Match made in heaven.
                          True fans want wins, not draft picks.

                            How Pabst Blue Ribbon became a billion-dollar beer
                            http://qz.com/184372/how-pabst-blue-ribbon-became-a-billion-dollar-beer/
                            Pabst Brewing Co., the 170-year-old brewery that makes Pabst Blue Ribbon—known as “PBR” to the mustachioed cognoscenti—is for sale, Reuters reported over the weekend. And the expectation is that the company will fetch as much as $1 billion.
