WildCard Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Did the ESPN report include the amounts? I know Pegula bid over $1B; it's whether or not the bid is $1.3B that I'm looking for confirmation on. Not that I saw; it was only a 15 second cameo the Bills were allowed in between Manziel reports. There's nothing on their site either. I guess I chose a great day to go see their camp today :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dEnnis the Menace Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 There's been multiple reports out there all quoting the same source for the $1.3B bid. Nobody is reporting anything for the other two bids. seems odd to me. I'd really like to know where TP stands in relation to NJ rat's bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Just saw it reported on espn. Three bids entered: Bon Jovi, Pegula, and Trump. According to their sources Trump won't get into a bidding war because he's only in it to turn a profit, and because Pegula is so liked and Jovi isn't, the general consensus is that Pegula is the front-runner so far. If Pegula buys the Bills and keeps them here, I think it's safe to say the Trial of Terry Pegula is over with You'd think so, innit? And yet something tells me certain people will continue to grind the paranoid, fear-and-loathing-of-the-wealthy axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wow. To me, that is TP saying "I'm buying this team, so the rest of you can BTFO." Zero F---s Given. They ain't goin' anywhere.

nfreeman Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 yes you're right every time you say this everyone just hates rich people because they have money and we don't mhmmmm there's no other reason than that and no straw man at all Not everyone feels this way, but some people do. And I don't know the reason, nor have I speculated about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Not everyone feels this way, but some people do. And I don't know the reason, nor have I speculated about it. I guess I just have never met any of them, and I don't want to be rude I just think it sounds extremely condescending and doesn't accurately represent the anger against "the 1%" that I have heard people debate for years, and I deleted the post because it also doesn't belong in this thread and I'm sorry for that!

Randall Flagg Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 So I had heard something about Bon Jovi's group looking around Toronto for stadium sites, which would eliminate him from contention due to lease requirements?

Is there anything to that? I don't think it would eliminate him, it would just cost them a huge penalty for breaking the lease. I forgot the actual sum, but I think it's $400 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything to that? It certainly doesn't help them. They were doing site studies, however this can likely be explained away since it was the Roger's Group that was doing the studies and was prior to them being a part of the group that included Bon Jovi and Tannenbaum.

IKnowPhysics Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Recap: Buffalo Bills franchise auction transcript: Bon Jovi: ###### Buffalo, I'll move the team to Toronto. I bid $1.2 Billion. Andre Reed: "Man, ###### Bon Jovi." (actual quote) Terry Pegula: Yeah, ###### Bon Jovi! I bid $1.3 Billion! Donald Trump: ###### this, I was only in it for the profit.

I forgot the actual sum, but I think it's $400 million There is no "get-out-of-Buffalo" fee. The lease is the lease. Even the NFL signed off on it. The $400MM fee comes in only if a court rules that the lease can be broken. And the court would be in Erie County. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastPommerFan Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 $1B+ isn't that surprising. Forbes had them at #30 with a value of $840M last year. Add the potential move to a huge-ass market premium and you get over a billion easily. Pegula is adding the ZFG premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson's Flow Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I am surmising that the lack of bids in terms of quantity is an indication that Pegula means business and has the wealth, liquidity and the hometown interests that will make it very difficult for another owner to make a winning bid without seriously overpaying. This may have scared off some of the other potential bidders that may want an NFL team but decided to wait it out until the next team is on the market.

wjag Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) 1.3B.. Egad.. Terry does remember that his kids were infants the last time this team was even remotely fun to watch? If Buffalo sells for 1.3B, then the Cowboys must be worth double that. Edited July 30, 2014 by wjag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buffalo sells for 1.3B, then the Cowboys must be worth double that. How many NFL teams have been up for sale in the last 10 years? Its a supply and demand thing more than anything else. You want an NFL team as a billionaire you better not miss the opportunity that is presented when one is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
