    Ralph Wilson's heirs have accepted a $1.4 billion offer from Sabres owner Terry Pegula. Pending league approval, the team will remain in Buffalo.

    Rejoice. Suck on it, LA and San Antonio.

    What about Toronto? Shouldn't they suck it also, or was Toronto OK, but not LA or SA?

    In 1983 Terry founded East Resources Incorporated, an independent oil and gas exploration and development company, with a $7,500 loan procured from family and friends.

    Legitimate question: How many NFL teams are worth less than the Bills?

    The Jaguars and who else?

    My point is, if the Bills are worth $1.4 Billion, I'm guessing every NFL team is worth over a billion.

    The Raiders wouldn't be worth that unless they moved to L.A.

    We have more rich people than ever. Supply and demand. Rich people like toys, and only a few of them can own an NFL team.

    Oil and gas exploration company, or a Dunkin Donuts franchise?

    Sounds like it's cheaper to get into oil and gas exploration, and it has a bigger upside. Win win.

    Actually, I wonder if L.A. being an open market pushes the values of all franchises higher, because you have a bogeyman out there.
