A Complete Waste of Space

The Associated Press reports that contrary to popular perception, Donald Trump’s attempt to buy the NFL’s Buffalo Bills is not a publicity stunt. It's the real deal. Trump is not only trying to buy the Buffalo Bills without any partners, but is also ready to buy it in cash.

Let the chips....fall....where they may...

Good bad?

I seriously doubt the Donald has anything remotely close to the cash needed.

The investors group lead by Jon Bon Jovi are the clear front runners right now.

Report: Jon Bon Jovi axed from group bidding for Buffalo Bills

Bon Jovi has been chucked from the group bidding for the Buffalo Bills reports The New York Post.

The rocker and the deep-pocketed Toronto-based sports team owners who are bidding for the Buffalo Bills have parted way, sources close to the situation said Friday.

The remaining entities in the group — Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which controls the NHL’s Maple Leafs and NBA’s Raptors, and Edward Rogers, chairman of Rogers Communications — believe they are in a stronger position to win the Bills auction without Bon Jovi, sources said.

The New Jersey rocker had led the group, a source close to the situation said. As the lead bidder, Bon Jovi would have been the principal owner and therefore, under NFL rules, would have to put up 30 percent of the purchase price.

With Bon Jovi’s net worth at roughly $300 million, according to sources, the group’s highest bid would have been capped at about $1.1 billion.

With rival bidder Terry Pegula, a fracking billionaire, said to be willing to push a bid toward $1.2 billion or higher, the Toronto group, with Bon Jovi, feared it was bound to lose, sources said.

Reportedly Morgan Stanley, the investment bank selling the Bills, has been trying to help Bon Jovi find new backers. Bon Jovi and Tanenbaum spokespeople did not return calls to the newspaper.

Bon Jovi report was denied, although I suspect the real likely owners will be the group of locals cobbled together in the past month. Bon Jovi's group contains a lot of Canadians, and no offense Res, Buffalo fans want the team to stay in Buffalo.

The last thing the Argos and Ti-Cats need is an NFL team across the street.
