    End of the line for Toronto's NFL hopes. The Bills will be sold to Terry Pegula.

    John Kryk has been the most consistently accurate reporter throughout the Bills' sale process. This article is basically a five finger death punch to the other bidders, and provides a healthy dose of STFU to those who think that money alone would determine whose bid will be accepted by the trust.



    If you need a reason beyond his acres of cash why Terry Pegula has a significant edge over his rival bidders in the Buffalo Bills sale, consider this.

    Sun Media has learned that the highest bidder is not necessarily going to get the team.

    Binding, definitive offers in the NFL club’s sale were due Monday at 5 p.m. EDT. At least three came in.

    Two critical factors beyond money — both long speculated as playing a role — indeed are among the Ralph Wilson trust’s expressed selection criteria. Sun Media has confirmed that “certainty of NFL approval” is one, and the ability to close the deal immediately is the other.

    According to a source in the position to know, Morgan Stanley — the Wilson trust’s investment bank conducting the sale — in early July informed prospective bidders who’d signed a non-disclosure agreement that, in selecting finalists, the Wilson trust would place “great weight” on the above two factors.

    Those factors remain critical in the selection of a winning bidder, according to two informed sources.

    Unlike with his two known rival bidders — Donald Trump and Jon Bon Jovi’s Toronto group — neither factor is believed to be an issue for Pegula.

    "!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Then "!!!!!!!!!!!"

    Right after following Buffalo Bills on Twitter.

    Rumors are flying that Terry P has already been chosen by the trust.

      Speculation on the local news that a new owner could be named by end of week, possibly even as early as Wednesday.

        This, to me, will be bigger than winning a Super Bowl.

            You do such a good job of sucking your own. Keep up the good work.

            I don't think that anyone thinks that anyone but Pegula will win this. I'm not going to believe it though until the news officially hits. We've seen so much errant reporting that nothing is definite until it's been formally reported.

            The next step will be cleaning house in the front office. If Pegula keeps the current FO like some other reports have said he will, that won't be good news.

              Yeah, that sounds about right and figures.

              For me winning a Super Bowl would be immeasurably better. I realize that your standards are down in the dirt though, so it's OK. Keep sucking yourself. You should get sleepy soon.

                  You can't win a Super Bowl if you don't have a team.

                  Just ask your homeboys in Toronto.

                  You lose, *****.

                      Who cares what you want.

                      Most of us want to win and realize that the front office is a part of the problem.

                      This just in, but we have no 1st round pick next season. Or 4th for that matter. For what, a WR that's shown absolutely nothing so far.

                      Once again, glad to see such high standards for a Bills fan.

                          Really? Really?

                          I try to be nice to you

                          Then you throw something like out there.

                          BTW - before you say something - I will respond to you tomorrow. Not that I already did not address many of the points.

                          but can you admit acting like Watkins is a bust or something after one game is stupid beyond belief?

                            It's really humorous how angry you are after a win. Watching you melt down all over the boards after the first game of the season has become priceless.

                              Yeah this is at least the fifth time we've heard that the Toronto group was dead, only to find out a day or two later that they are still involved. So I'll believe it when I see it.
