Buffalo Bills Sold (1 Viewer)

WTF? ESPN doesn't even have a mention of it on the front page of their site. No problem reporting the rumors of front office fighting last week but a record NFL sale and a huge development for a team and region and merits no front page mention or link. So pathetic.

Take a deep breath, lol. It's there right now, and I know it was their earlier today as well.

Yeah, no, no it's not. I'm not the only one that noticed either.

I honestly don't ever think to look at ESPN so would never notice.

I thought you meant the front of the NFL section. It's on the front page there and NFL.com as well.

Expect a respect for the past and a spare-no-expenses attitude. And – if his track record holds up – a personal interest in all the ins and outs, ups and downs of a sports team.

Terry Pegula has made a strong impression on Western New York in the 3½ years since he bought the region’s other marquee sports team, the Buffalo Sabres.

Now, as he stands on the cusp of becoming the second owner of the Buffalo Bills, his history might just be a guide to what is to come.

And that history shows several things:

• A habit of tipping his hat to our area’s athletic past, including former players who were great as well as those who were all but forgotten.

• A budget that includes luxuries such as high-priced free agents, locker room upgrades, fan amenities, new practice facilities, state-of-the-art technology, plus more scouts and tournaments.

• And, eyes narrowly focused on bringing a first-ever major league sports championship of a modern era to Buffalo.

“What you’ll find, when you’re around the Pegulas, is everything is 100 percent first class,” said longtime player Rob Ray, head of the Buffalo Sabres Alumni Association, discussing the Sabres owner a few weeks ago when he was a Bills contender. “It’s awesome.”

At the same time, Pegula has become much more reserved in the way he handles the local media and publicity about the teams.

To Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown, having Pegula own sports teams here makes this a pivotal time for Buffalo and its people.

“It is clear to me that he wants to be transformative in this community,” Brown said.

That is not only with purchase of the Sabres, Brown added, but also with the building of HarborCenter and now the Bills.

HarborCenter is a massive complex that will include skating rinks and other amenities for the public, under construction across from the arena where the Sabres play.

Brown said all are just “steppingstones” for the Pegulas for “doing more great things for the city and this region.”

“I haven’t really seen anything like this in Buffalo in recent memory where one action is unifying the community in the way that it seems to be,” Brown said.

Exactly the point.

Cliff notes reason as to why this is great news?

It means the Bills will stay in Buffalo for the foreseeable future and they have an owner with deep pockets who will be willing to spend money to build a better team and help improve the city as well.

Ahh. Wasn't thinking about the move

I was saying this about Jim Rome's TV Show. He never misses a chance to talk about anything Dallas. He didn't even mention the sale......

The only thing that might explain this is the show starts at 6pm but he may tape the show much earlier.

When you build a winning team other players will want to play for that team.

It's always been hard to get some players to want to be there in the winter. Winning would help, but ...
