The head of the National Football League will meet later this week with Sen. Charles Schumer to discuss concerns about the financial future of the Buffalo Bills under a new labor pact with the players.
Outgoing NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue will meet Thursday morning with Schumer and TV newsman Tim Russert, host of NBC's Sunday morning Meet the Press program, and an avid Bills fan.
"I'm looking forward to this meeting because keeping the Bills in Buffalo is vital to western New York," Schumer said in a statement. "This is going to be the first step of a long process to do everything we can to help the Bills and small-market teams."
