DISCLAIMER: this is not a political post.

Reminds me of the old prophecy, "no disrespect" (someone's about to get seriously disrespected).

What a perspective...

Best that I threw in that caveat before someone decided to move that post over to TOO.

I don't believe DJT would have kept the Bills in Buffalo. He would have immediately moved the team. Or he would have flipped it.

Either way, I’m glad we never faced that piece of reality.

There's no reason to believe he wouldn't have.  The Bills weren't sold at a discounted price to flip.  Would never be worth the up front capital.

That disclaimer is required as just mentioning a certain name can get your post removed as it being political.....

I don't think anyone can really 'flip' a pro sports franchise, but relocation is always a possibility

As for Hamilton, looks like he already has a new job on TV working for Channel 2 (WGRZ) reporting on the Sabres on weekends. Looks like a promotion after getting canned.....

Of course it is but it's pure speculation to believe he would have applied for relocation.

At any rate, I know we’re all glad that TPKP had the actual money on hand to make it happen instead of going through a shady deal that could have horribly backfired for everyone involved (including the fans).

Moscow does need a team, though!

The DJT stories originated with DJT. It was a PR ploy. He had no cash on hand and had no ability to raise money. The NFL wants/requires new owners to mostly purchase their acquired franchise with cash. That's exactly how the Pegulas bought the Bills. Trump through the courts is ferociously fighting to keep his books closed to the public. He never would have allowed the NFL to scrutinize his shady books, a requirement before authorizing it to be sold. His interest in buying the Bills was a myth originated by himself. From a financial standpoint just like in the Wizard of Oz there was nothing real ($$$$) behind the curtain of deception.

You need to be open-minded. The more I post the more I will be disliked. It happens all the time. ?

Wanna play that game we always play and try to figure out who the new poster is a reincarnation of?

I will give you 3 guesses and 2 of them don't count, eh?

He's a frequent poster on TSW, not a re-tread.

What do you have against incoherence? It gives you more opportunities to be right or make the claim that the other person misinterpreted your vagueness.

I'm always right, so I don't know why I need any opportunities.

Bingo. That's exactly how the game gets played. Then he would have bragged about not wanting the team in the end for some fake reason.

Being a legend in one's own mind is like being drunk on one's own delusion. Others might look askance at one's staggering inebriation but so what as long as you are happy with one self. ?
