    Having Trump as owner would be very entertaining; " 6-10, Your Fired"

    I know some fans dislike the loud Mark Cuban/Jerry Jones type owners but I enjoy their commitment to winning championships.

    Those guys make it about winning games instead of winning at the box office.

    I'm vacillating between Putin and Madonna.

    Maybe Richard Branson.

    ESPN just covered Jerry Jones about a week ago... Doesn't sound like he cares much about winning, as long as his team is tops in the TV ratings: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10...las-popularity

    Just listen to what Jones said the other day in Las Vegas:

    "As you know, the Cowboys have not gone to the playoffs in several years. We have not gone. Yet we're the most popular TV show there is on television. We lead all teams in TV ratings. We lead, 24 out of the last top 25 shows were NFL games, and any time your Cowboys play, they're up there at the top and leading."

    That's the standard now. Television ratings.
    I also don't think it's a coincidence that both owners you mentioned (Cuban and Jones) are in the same market - Dallas. More of that "Everything's bigger in Texas" schtick...

    Bigger (or louder) doesn't always mean better.

    -Bill

    Trump can divest his holdings in a New York minute being Public Holdings and is worth over 3.5 billion. He wants to keep the Bills in Buffalo and is willing to spend monies to
    build the Bills and it's stadium to that of someone like Jerry Jones, on a somewhat smaller scale of course!
    11-5 in 2020 and deep into the Playoffs!

    Robert Rich Jr got my vote but that's only because that is who I hope buys the team.

    Re: So, who ends up buying the team?

    I voted other. It's going to be a mix of the above and any of them could be the majority owner with options to buy out the others. I'd guess 3 of them with strong percentages and a group with minority percentage to round it out. It spreads the possible expense and maximizes return to whichever stands up to be eventual Warbucks depending on business trend.

    I half think the face of it will be someone pleasant to people in Buffalo, like Bob Rich though he may be largest stakeholder in the minority group, and they'll all assume someone like Pegula will advance to Warbucks level and take controlling interest.
