Two Bills Drive? nope - but I used to be a regular poster on the Bills Usenet newsgroup back in the day. I listen to WGR sports radio online alot.
The Bills are being held hostage by an increasingly feeble minded 91 year old man - pretty hopeless situation, similar to Al Davis in Oakland. Ralph has always meddled, always been cheap - he uses the excuse that other owners of NFL teams make so much more money than him. All I know is that he bought the Bills for 60 measly thousand dollars and the franchise is now worth close to a billion dollars. Dumb old man, he can't take that money to the grave. And the Bills still make a profit, I think about 40 million a year.
He's a dick - he's torturing the people of Western New York. All he would have to do is say as long as there are local buyers for the Bills when he dies at something close to market value he will put it in his will that the Bills will be sold to local buyers. But he has refused to do that. Toronto doesn't even want the Bills, most hardcore NFL fans in Ontario want the Bills to stay in Buffalo.
Maybe for once the Bills will get lucky and Bill Cowher will fall in their lap. He's not any saviour but at least the Bills would be relevant again with Cowher.
