All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Mary Wilson has been announced as controlling owner of Bills.
Mike Schopp @Schopptalk Seems Mary Wilson, wife of the late Ralph Wilson, becomes controlling owner of the Bills. The trustees will commence working toward a sale.
Mike Schopp @Schopptalk17m Potential candidates to buy the Bills will be vetted in the coming months, with a sale perhaps being consummated in about a year.
Please prove to me that she plans to scorn all of the glut of people very close to Ralph (but apparently not her) publicly wanting the Bills to stay in Buffalo.
Why would she be scorning them?
Ralph could have done something to keep them in Buffalo and didn't.
I think I would rather ask the lady (any lady) behind the cash register at the AM/PM on the corner about football related things before I asked Mike Schopp. Mary Wilson now is the owner, she doesn't have to sell to anybody. She might decide she likes owning the team and hold on to it. Either way I think she is going to honor Ralph and make sure the team remains in Buffalo.
Ditto.
The lease is what it is, the Bills in Buffalo cover a sufficient tv market, the fan base is among the most loyal. The ownership is in trust with Mrs. Wilson with the say on selling.
These days, many folks can't seem to grasp that it it is possible for owners of businesses to be (very) satisfied with their lot in life, are pleased with the product their business supplies, pleased to employ people and be happy that their business provides a good livelihood for others.
Re: Mary Wilson has been announced as controlling owner of Bills.
The team has already been placed in a trust. If Mary wilson was the sole person to the decision of selling the team, why would a board of trustees be bringing in groups wanting to buy the team? I think "controlling owner" is just a title. The team is still controlled by the trustee board.
