Say it ain't so jimbo

Say it ain't so jimbo

"The Kellys have not met with Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula and his wife, Kim."

Why not?

This is getting weird.

[BertSquirtgum]

Who cares?

[BillsImpossible]

Who cares?

Most Bills fans care.

Can you imagine what kind of a freaking #hit storm would ensue if Kelly teams up with Jon Bon and the Trust says yes?!!!

[BillsImpossible]

Adam Benigni just reported that Kelly has met with Tom Golisano too.

Is Kelly meeting with all of these other groups because he knows Terry Pegula does not want any minority share of ownership?

Or...

Is Kelly meeting with all of these other groups because he's secretly working for Pegula?

0012.

[Night Train]

JBJ contacted Kelly in desperation. Chances are next to zero.

[YardRat]

Sounds like maybe the other groups that don't have the hard cash Pegula does might be looking to add a little flash to help them in the process. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm OK with the JBJ group if they end up with the team. I'm not any more sold on Pegula than them, and I don't want Golisano, Gundlach, etc anywhere near the team.

"but I'm OK with the JBJ group if they end up with the team."

YardRat is jumping ship.

I'm not okay with the JBJ.

WGR Text...Jim Kelly takes to twitter to say that Tim Grahm's report about Jim Kelly and Bon Jovi group is not accurate.

[BillsImpossible]

Per Howard Simon, Tim Graham says he has 7 sources on this.

Jill Kelly, not Jim.

Tim Graham blows.

[SpikedLemonade]

Two sources familiar with the sales process told The News the Kellys have made lofty partnership demands: 2 percent equity in the team, lifetime jobs for Jim and Dan, an up-front cash payment for their services and final say on all football decisions.


Dream Jimbo dream!

So how long before the homers turn on Jimbo and start referring to him as Chemo Kelly?

Jim Kelly clearly wants a stake in the team.

Why he's not trying to partner with Terry Pegula is baffling.

Whoever called him, "Chemo Kelly," just ate a dish full of bad karma.

I'm not okay with the JBJ.

Jumping what ship? I've maintained the opinion from the beginning that they wouldn't move the team.

[trapezeus]

Not baffling. Pegula has a solo bid and doesn't need a partner or want a partner. Why share something when it can be 100% his.

Jim will be part of the bills regardless of who gets it. If it's pegula, he won't have an ownership stake.

You're delusional if you truly believe that.

"The Kellys have not met with Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula and his wife, Kim."

Why not?

This is getting weird.

He has not met with the Pegulas because the Pegulas are the only bidders who are abiding by the rules set down by the estate.

Jim is, technically, and employee of the Bills. A "Goodwill Ambassador" of sorts.

Pegula has not had any discussions, nor made any public comments, unlike Bon Douchebag or Trump.

JK is having discussions with numerous parties, all of whom apparently see the rules as "guidelines." But Terry isn't taking any chances.

Once the sale is complete, there's zero doubt that JK would be involved in some capacity, but now is not the time for that.

Bon Jovi is said (according to Tim Graham) to be desperate and "throwing hail Mary passes" at this point.

[Skooby]

Everyone looking for their piece.

[better days]

Jill Kelly on twitter: "To think that anyone would think for a minute that Jim would ever link up with ownership that would move our BELOVED BILLS is ludicrous."

[Cleve]

Well, Tim Graham clearly blew that one. No wonder Sabres' GM Tim Murray so frequently sarcastically mocks the Buffalo media - LOL

[Cleve]

7 sources except the only two that really matter - Jim and Jill Kelly - lmao!!!!!

[better days]

I think Bon Jovi reached out to Kelly, but I don't think Kelly considered it for a minute.

Bon Jovi: " Jim we would like you to join our group & be our ambassador to Bills fans in Buffalo. And if you have a few extra dollars you could pitch in that would be great because we are a little short."

Kelly: "LMAO"

Timmy Graham has been all over this sales process and has been spot on. Therefore I have no reason to not believe him. The only person thus far to contradict this report is the wife of the guy that's flirting with the villian, as expected.

I always will love Jim Kelly, but in no way, shape, or form would I be ok with him having any control over player personal.

Looks like Kelly shot him down because he thinks he is a fraud and will move the team even if he says he won't:

So much for foresight in even talking with him.
