    Golisano talks Bills ownership......

    Brenden Schooler came out of nowhere Sunday to reject a Dolphins field goal attempt. How he do it? How did the play come about?


    "Would I be interested in the Bills?" Golisano repeated when asked. "I think the key issue would be the level of concern I would have about them leaving the community, and the higher the concern, the more interest I probably would have."


    Nice to know someone with the dough has his eyes set on keeping the Bills in Buffalo.

    I wouldn't read too much into this. Besides, if people hate how cheap Ralph runs the Bills, how would TG be any different? Aren't we cheering him out the door with the Sabres?

        Well Ralph Wilson owns the Buffalo Bills and it's a non-stop *****-fest so I wonder if your point is valid.

          Of course it's valid. As much *****ing as there is over Wilson (and pretty much all of it is legit), it's better than not having a team. I guarantee you everyone here would agree.

            This was definitely the best news about the Sabres sale is knowing that the Bills will be safe here.

              I can't believe how much a small statement about the Bills has become so overblown in the media.

              This is part of what Tom said :

              "The Buffalo Bills just like the Buffalo Sabres are a very important asset to this community," Golisano said. "But the thing that always comes to light is nobody has ever said that they're for sale or going to be for sale.

              "Ralph Wilson is a very smart guy, and if he thinks he has an estate tax problem or is going to have an estate tax problem, I would have to assume he's already done something about it. Now, I know he plays his cards very close to the vest, but I don't ever know if the Buffalo Bills are going to be for sale."

              Please stop making this a "When you wish upon a star" moment.

                  Great a cheap owner that Sabre fans couldnt wait to see leave might be taking his talents to the Bills!

                    The narrative about Golisano being cheap needs to die. The Sabres spent to the salary cap at least once during his tenure and were mostly an average spender relative to other NHL teams. They were far from the bottom of the league.

                    Granted, if Golisano buys the Bills, he'll have to spend a lot more money to field a team because the NFL easily trumps in the NHL financially. The main problem with Golisano and his management team with the Sabres was that they spent big money on many of the wrong players.

                      The first step to the Bills winning the Super Bowl is to make sure there is still "the Buffalo Bills."

                      If Golisano is the money bags backer behind a group to keep them in Buffalo I'm all for it.

                        The Sabres are closer to the salary cap than a large proportion of the NHL at the moment as well. Golisano may have never been seen as a big spender, but he spent more than most.

                            Golisano would be a minority owner at best. I can't see him ponying up half a billion dollars to have majority ownership.

                            Interesting comment about the "never going to be for sale" thing. I wonder who he would say would get ownership when RW passes then.
