Here's the best reason about having Pegula as the new owner!

[blackonyx89]

The reason is that the team will NEVER move out of Buffalo. Unlike Ralph Wilson (R.I.P.) who only had three daughters and his wife didn't want to take the burden of running the franchise, Pegula has five children, two of them being sons. So if anything happens to Terry in the future 10-20 years down the road, it's a pretty safe bet that one or both sons will take over the team and they will pass it on to the next generation.

Wonder if Kim is named as co-owner ? She wanted the team and is still in her 40's. That would cement things for many years.

Rapoport reported that Kim Pegula, Terry's wife, will be heavily involved in the executive process and the making many key decisions, according to the source.

Having a woman being this involved in owning an NFL franchise is an absolute dream scenario for the NFL right now...

That makes sense, she's part owner so if anything happens to T-Peg, she becomes the next owner ala the late St. Louis Rams owner Georgia Frontier. That would be the logical transition, I think.

Why leave the daughters out of the equation?

We have no way of knowing if they're interested in future ownership or not, only time will tell.

Actually, she got that team as part of a divorce settlement.

So she runs the Bills and he gets the Sabres. Either way its a win win for Buffalo.

You have no way of knowing if his sons are interested.

This is true Dude and only time will tell with that as well. But the odds of a having the team going into the hands of the wife or any of the Pegula "children" in the future is practically guaranteed and they will stay for a very long time.

Re: Here's the best reason about having Pegula as the new owner!

his eldest daughter is a huge sabres fan and she's a ranked tennis player. i think she might just be interested in the bills/sabres as much as any guy.
