It doesn't hurt. It's just not nexcessary for Pegula.


If some Billionaire we never heard of wanted to reassure the community we were sticking around then maybe having Kelly on board would be a good idea

I would hope Pegula would have learned from the LaFontaine debacle, and that bringing in a local folk hero to run things, just to make the fans feel better about themselves, isn't the way to put together a championship franchise.

Depends on what capacity.

LaFontaine from what it seems turned out to be a hypocrite. Said he wasn't ready to be a GM, then pouted when the big boys made decisions without him

Who said Kelly had to be in any decision making position ? You make him a special consultant . $200,000 a year should be enough to use his name. With all his medical bills . I am sure it would help him out. Not everything has to be a negative.

Read the Buff. News today. He wants to be the final decision maker, a payment up front, 2% equity in the team and permanent jobs for him and his brother. Pegula doesn't need that. Not one bit.

All depends on how the bidding process goes . Maybe if Pegula needs him to bring it home . I am not saying you give in to all his demands . Maybe you put him charge of the Jills since he married a Jill.

There's no way an outspoken guy like Jim Kelly comes on just to be a face. He's got too much of an ego for that, and always has. It's what made him a successful quarterback.

Tim Graham ‏:
Jim Kelly, Jon Bon Jovi have discussed joining forces to buy the Bills


edit

Jill Kelly ‏@HJKforever 2m
Quick update on all the Jim ownership rumors. The things that you are being told by @ByTimGraham and the media are NOT ACCURATE!

Jill Kelly ‏@HJKforever 1m
To think that anyone would think for a minute that Jim would ever link up with ownership that would move our BELOVED BILLS is ludicrous

Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 11m
Member of the Kelly family told me if I ever asked him about Jeffrey Gundlach he would deny knowing him. So this doesn't surprise me.

But what does the Buffalo Fan Alliance have to say about this?

Mock them if you may, but I'm hearing they are much more than just a rah rah group. They have a whole legal team and will be involved in raising money for a new stadium.

Is anyone else 10x more concerned with Hackett than Manuel?

It's not only on the QB that the 1st team can't punch the ball in the end zone

I agree . Hackett's play calling is way to conservative . We need to know if EJ can hack it or not . We will never know with this play calling.

i'm with you on that, brody...but...not too concerned right now...am pretty sure the playbook is very limited at this time of year

come the regular season, though, Hackett, to me, will be more important to the offense than ej alone
