If the Isles had a Jack Eichel maybe you’d win a cup.

Could be a nice change of pace from shredding your hog through a cheese grader over making an ECF

This isn't news unless "fans" make it news. All part of negotiations.

Never said that.

You are saying that if you don’t talk about it it doesn’t exist.

If we as fans stop talking about Eichel, does that also no longer become news. After all those are just negotiation tactics by them.

What I'm saying is, fans shouldn't sit here and worry for the next year that the owners are going to move them. It's the first salvo in negotiations. We're going to sit here and bash the owners (news flash, we already know they're sh!tty people) for something that may not ever happen? Ralph used to do this crap all the time. And they never moved. People need to get a grip.

I have a hard time believing Goodell would allow his hometown team to be relocated under his watch unless the team wasn't viable.

Let's face it Buffalo besides Green Bay is the smallest market team in the NFL. The owners (not just the Pegulas) want max money which comes from TV deals and corporate suites. This could get ugly though if the Pegulas insist on a 100% tax pay funded stadium.

How about instead of taxing us, we put our money together and buy the Bills ourselves? Then the NFL would really have an issue on their hands wouldn't they? If every resident of Erie county put up 2,000 dollars each, they could purchase the Bills for 1.5 Billion dollars.

Our city our team gets a whole new meaning.

And there's millions of people who no longer live in WNY who would chip in, too but you get my point.

It depends on the nature of "publicly funded" is it muni bonds? Hotel taxes? Or is it from property/income/sales tax?

Oakland had a very solid fan base. I live about 20 miles from there. They remind me a lot of the Bills Fans. Blue collar rabid fan base. They also have a lot of fans, just because of the colors of their jerseys. If they let the Raiders move, they will definitely let The Bills move without even thinking twice.

Never happen
In fact, there’s a rule now against a “community” owning a team

Textbook negotiations. We want the stadium fully funded or we walk. Fans are up in arms. State and county negotiates to pay for 75% of the deal. Sold! Shooters shoot and despite the yacht jokes on here the Pegula’s are smart business people and they didn’t get there by not using the system.
