Terry with the Early Lead

[DraftBoy]

The THREAT is ENOUGH. It will give the NFL pause.

Yea I don't quite think so, and that has more to do with the political climate in Washington then anything to do with Schumer.

[BertSquirtgum]

This made my night better. Pegula for the win and a huge party downtown with businesses everywhere and I will be staying in a hotel every home game. **** Orchard park.

Yeah, because Schumer has nothing to do with that.

Schumer knows people. If it came down to it I think he could put a lot of pressure on the NFL to make sure a move of the Bills is not allowed.

That pressure is just one more headache the NFL would have to deal with.

We shall see, in the end I don't think Pegula is getting outbid so it doesn't really matter.

We are in agreement about that.

If Terry wins bid and owns both Sabres & Bills it would be very cool to build a Sport Complex near Lake or in Downtown. Both stadiums can be next to each other or heck, share kinda like ice bowl.

[BillsImpossible]

Well that's honestly closer then I thought it would be.

$1.2 billion vs. $1.3 billion sounds close, but one man in Terry Pegula outbid the Toronto group by $100 million.

[BillsImpossible]

Some have been wondering if other people can still bid on the team.

No. If they wanted to make a bid, the deadline was yesterday at 5:00 pm.

The window is now closed. The players have shown their cards.

The sale of the Bills will now come down to a bidding contest between Terry Pegula and the Toronto group.

Will Jon Bon & Co. raise up the ante, or admit defeat and give in to the fact that nobody in WNY wants them?

Actually, there is nothing to say the trust won't accept more bids. But hopefully they've closed it down and hopefully they've already selected Pegs.

That would be completely unfair and highly unethical to invite a player to the table and allow them in to the game after everyone has shown their cards.

[Luisito23]

After all this is done and Pegula gets the team, I don't ever want to hear that POS JBJ's name ever again.

[BillsImpossible]

And Schumer has already made it known he will do everything in his power to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

You mean, Chucky?

[OpIv37]

And Schumer has already made it known he will do everything in his power to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

It's amazing how some of you are enamored by anyone who says they'll do anything in their power to keep the Bills in Buffalo regardless of the reality that the people saying it don't actually have the power to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

[k-oneputt]

The anti-trust exemption is a huge issue. Schumer can be a real pain in the ass for Goodell and the NFL, and they don't want any part of that.

It's Pegula.

[Meathead]

Speculation is that Pegula is willing to spend up to $1.55 billion to buy the #Bills. He wants this and is fully committed.

Its neither unfair or unethical. Its entirely up to the trust if they want to reopen the process.

I hate Schumer, but he has the power to c*ck block anyone who would move the team.

Good analogy!

It's amazing how people that don't live in New York don't realize how much power Chuck Schumer really has.

[Turf]

Why would Golisano jump in now to bid against a Buffalonian who has more money while his intent would be to run a tight shoe string operation like he did when owned the Sabres? The team is staying here, and Pegulas' the guy. One day there will be a statue of him downtown.
