This is interesting in that Ralph Wilson's daughters have now inherited the franchise and unlike the Hunts/McClaskeys/Davises, have no intention to keep the team. I highly doubt the NFL has any interest in keeping a presence in Western New York, which is bleeding people and money, and will massage the sale process to put them someplace else -- probably Toronto, maybe even London.

EDIT: the gears are already turning on moving the Rams back to Los Angeles, with their owner buying a football stadium-sized plot of land in Inglewood. I suppose this would open up St. Louis for the Bills, but that might actually be a downgrade.

Looks like he got plastic surgery around 1933.

Looks like Bob Griese with some age-progression editing going on.

No idea, but relatively speaking can't be much, seeing as how they're in Buffalo

At least a billion, you'd have to think. Not sure where that money is in Buffalo, other than the guy who sold the Sabres to the fracking guy, or the fracking guy himself.

The TV money alone has to make it worth close to a billion.

The NFL is sitting out there waiting to give you their money.

Are you gonna take it?

Are you man enough to take it?

According to Forbes, they were worth $792 million in 2012.

Kids will sell the team, and move it to Toronto. The team will be rebranded as the Ontario Bills. The Bills haven't been the same since Bill Polian went and started the Panthers roster.

Two problems here: the Toronto games heretofore have been dismal failures, and the Skydome is being remodeled into a natural-grass, baseball-only facility, evicting the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. If Rogers buys the Bills -- and God knows they have the money -- surely they'd cancel the renovation, but it seems like they're really committing to the Blue Jays.
