    Bills Likely To Stay In Buffalo

    By a vote of 30 to 2, revenue sharing has been approved by the National Football League owners meeting in Arizona today. It should be financial stability for the Bills and keep them in Western New York according to Senator Charles Schumer.
    "The National Football League owners just voted 30 to 2 to provide revenue sharing for the small market teams,"said Schumer. "And the great news for us is that means the Bills will stay in Buffalo."
    The plan calls for the top 15 revenue producing clubs to provide financial help to the smaller market clubs. It's beem almost a year since the new CBA was agreed upon.

        i don't think ralph and bengals would disaprove. They were the ones who brought the deal to the owners to vote. I think it was the big revenue owners such as the redskins and cowboys.. anything to stop the lower revenue teams from having their money.

          The Bengals and Jaguars.

          Both wanted a plan that gave money to any team that spends more than 65% of their revenue on player salaries. They didn't want any other qualifiers. The Bengals are one of the most profitable teams in the NFL, and they were looking for another handout. I'm not sure what the Jaguars were thinking.

          Wilson approved the plan.

                  I know. I was kidding. They were the two to vote against the new CBA last year (which I know didn't help them)

                    But it also makes the franchise more attractive to new local ownership when Ralph passes, so it at least increases the chances of the Bills' staying.
                    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                      And it is only until 2009 which we need to go thru the whole issue again in three or less years.

                          Person(s),I'd be guessing. We'll see if his daughters keep it or not. The inheritence tax is negotiable, in the grand scheme of politics and big business.

                          There is currently ZERO cities in North America looking for an NFL football team. Los Angeles wasn't even on the owners agenda this week. No stadium plan or buyers.

                            Not sure. Perhaps a consortium. Just saying it's not a forgone conclusion that the Bills will leave, and the new revenue sharing plan is a positive.

                            Many naysayers had the Sabres leaving a few years ago, and now they're one of the top success stories in all of sports.

                            I'm just too old to believe that anything except death and taxes - including the Bills' moving - is inevitable.

                              Personally I now believe that the Bills have as good a shot as any team to stay in their respective city.

                              A owner passing away does mean change but not necessary the team to move (I.E. bucs).
