joe banner to buy bills????

[FreeKeyChain]

I think Jimbo has the Bills future secure, no matter what.

[RideTheLightning95]

On one side I scoff at this and think of it as just another bogus group of investors setting their eyes on vulnerable franchises in the league. Hell I even remember Magic Johnson having some group of people with billions of dollars ready to move a team to LA and then he just bought the Dodgers. On the other side though it just worries the hell out of me and makes me absolutely nauseous just thinking about losing my football team.

Still though I think they want one AFC and one NFC team in LA. NFC has to be St. Louis. AFC it's either Oakland or San Diego, probably San Diego since what I heard about that new stadium the Niners are getting is that it may be a deal like Metlife is with the Jets/Giants.

Sounds like a guy that would move the team. Don't think he would be a front runner if that were his intentions.

kelly and his backers will be getting the bills or he will look like a complete fool.

he has said for the last 5 years @ least that he has the financing in place to anyone who would listen and done so in front of the national media.

the most compelling think IMO is that kelly is like Ralphs son and i dont think Ralph is going to screw Jimbo. IMO there is already a deal in place involving Jim and his backers and RW.

[UpstateRules]

Funny, PFT reported earlier that he was let go in Philly and responsibilities were dished out to Reid and the GM. Also, they hired Donahoe two weeks ago!!

I think he is dillusional!!

Fiction can be fun....

Based on what? Blind faith?

How reassuring.

[majinmaddog]

The point being yes the Bills RIGHT NOW are NOT for sale. But it doesnt mean own owner is going to live forever! Geese people think ahead here! He is showing interest because they CAN be for sale once Ralph Wilson passes. Then the Bills will go to the highest bidder then. He would be setting up for that.

[HiddenInLight]

I wish Ralph would come out and say whether or not he has a plan in place after he passes away....would make all our lives easier......

You're such a positive poster. I said I think, I didn't say he does have the team secure. I'll take his word for it, since that's all we have to go on, that he does indeed have the Bills future secure. You need to go out more, you post so miserably on the forums these days.

Joe Banner should be looking into buying hair for the top of his head.

[superbowl]

Bruce Banner's brother?

Mr banners son?

He died 19yrs ago and so did alot of True fans

Based on Kelly. If he cant do it it will not go over well. Kelly basically says he has everyone in place.

Been saying it for like 5 years and has not backed off once.

[billsrule]

Joe Banner needs a hair, boy is he bald....

[Squirrel]

I don't buy the Kelly crap. he couldn't even run a downtown pub.

I'm not sure I like this Banner guy either. My favorite would Be Jeremy Jacobs.

Not so sure about Pegula. Need to see more from the Sabres first.

He made fantastic improvements to the locker room... lol

[superbowl]

just put out on twitter. this guy is an actual reporter but he is hearing that banner stepped aside b/c he's looking to possibly buy the bills. I know its early but always an interesting story. more info to come apparently.

Aaaaaaa NO JUnior

[STUCKINSTEELERCOUNTRY]

Aaaaaaa NO JUnior

This guy is from Philly and works for WIP 610 and this tool never gets anything right for the Flyers. In one ear and out the other with this clown.

[thebillster12]

I know who Howard Eskin is. I lived around the Philly area for three years or so. This guy is a very arrogant sports talk radio host for 610am WIP, and he is practically the "Mike Francessa" of the Philadelphia area. Joe Banner I believed also was the capologist for the eagles when the nfl had the salary cap.

I'm not saying he is a bad fit, but for one who treats his clientel (fans and players) as commodities, then I don't want him here.

[thebillster12]

Yeah, I'm heearing that his children have no interest in keeping the team. I also heard that from the Steinbrenner family also 'The Boss' passed away last year.
