Re: Jim Kelly is aligned with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach
You are speculating it is with Jeff G, but I will tell you what any bidder with Jim Kelly may have my vote. Jim as a minority owner would at least have a say in hiring the right people and holding people accountable. -

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

Re: Jim Kelly is aligned with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach
I dont really care who the principle is if Jim Kelly is involved I know someone that played the game and knows the game will at least be in the interview process and will be able to hold people accountable and also not make rash decisions that the franchise will regret Cough Polian CoughOriginally posted by MitchMurrayDowntown View PostComment

What's your guess? I'll say this is the 5th year Kelly's name has been drug through the ownership mud.Originally posted by MitchMurrayDowntown View PostFiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.Comment

JG doesn't have Pegs' money. I was previously all for Kelly joining a group and going with that one, but now I want Pegs and no one else, Kelly or not.Comment

Re: Jim Kelly is aligned with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach
I really like Jim Kelly. But I doubt his personell assessment. He loved every one of our QBs during the last 10 years. Ok, he got paid to say this. But still I am not sold on him taking any decision. Lovable tough Buffalo guy, yes, but I dont want him to make any decisions.Comment

Re: Jim Kelly is aligned with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach
I love Jim Kelly and he is about Buffalo and the Bills, but as owner of the Buffalo Sabres and with the development of the HarborCenter, you can believe that Terry Pegula is dedicated to Buffalo also. I'm not crazy about ownership groups and it seems that the NFL isn't either. I recently heard the numbers and I believe it was only 2 of the last 14 new ownership's in the NFL have been groups. IMO in a group everyone needs to be on the same page on everything and that just seems unlikely to happen all the time. In Pegula's case he has nobody to answer to (other than Kim). Pegula also has the pockets to give the Bills the best they need and as he has shown with the Sabres, he's not afraid to invest heavily. Now if Kelly would somehow align himself with Pegula (not as part owner), that would be a great team to own the Bills.Originally posted by Goobylal View PostComment

Re: Jim Kelly is aligned with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach
kelly is a politician. he's got charm, knows how to work a room, knows what he's supposed to say and say it convincingly. that's his strengths. he is an ambassador to the team and clearly wants the best for the team. there is also little to be gained from old athletes bad mouthing new ones. that rarely goes over well.
that being said, he was crazy big fan of tebow. so that alone makes me a little nervous about his ability to scout and evaluate a team properly.
i think he's got a gig as ambassador at worst given whatever ownership gets involved. and that's a good thing.Comment

Re: Jim Kelly is aligned with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach
Just for good measure:
I have relative with an indirect relationship that's a close friend of his, not my usual contact and obviously outside OBD.The Buffalo News has learned Kelly and bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach met with the Bills' trust Thursday in the Detroit area, where Ralph Wilson Enterprises is located.Last edited by Skooby; 08-08-2014, 02:20 PM.Comment

I think it's more like Gundlach aligned himself with Kelly to gain a shot at minority owner percentage.Comment

Re: Jim Kelly is aligned with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach
Who will be the major partner then because Kelly doesn't even have $100M. He stopped playing in 97 before the big money and his business acumen sucked.Originally posted by Mace View PostComment
