Jon Bon Jovi interested in purchasing the Buffalo Bills

[Terry]

Meh.
As long as Jon Bon Jovi gets up there, wiggles his tushy and makes the audience of aging, widening soccer moms remember how he once made their ginies tingle when they were teens, nobody's gonna give 2 shits if Sombrero is playing guitar or not.

I read somewhere, Bon Jovi was paying him $3 million a month.

Sticking up for the guitarist here - Sambora co-wrote most if not all the BJ set list, is pretty vital on the backing vocals and is worth $65 million which is good 'fuck you' money but Jon BJ is worth $300 million. That's going to bug you a bit.

Imagine Roth had ended up 5 times richer than Eddie VH...

Yeah, but if Sambora went out on tour with a band billed as Bon Jovi and Jon Bon Jovi wasn't the lead singer, it wouldn't exactly be filling arenas.

However, as long as Jon Bon Jovi is fronting the group, by and large I think people would still show up regardless of Sambora participating.

(Jesus, why in the fuck am I speculating on the future of a Sambora-less Bon Jovi? I didn't put this much thought into the band when they were at their peak in the late 1980s. Clearly, I am a pink slipper wearing pickle puffer).

Clearly.

I think I read the same thing. Three million bucks a month and he can't stay straight for 90 minutes a couple nites a week. What a fucking idiot.

If you had to play Bon Jovi's music, you'd get fucking shitfaced by mid-morning too!

Buffalo Bills' Owner Ralph Wilson has died at 95

The owner of the Buffalo Bills, Ralph Wilson Jr. is dead at the age of 95.

And ex-Bills' QB Jim Kelly's mouth cancer has returned after a period or remission and is "aggressively spreading." What a shitty local sports week...

[Nickdfresh]

Oh shit! They might be available now...

Well, it would figure that a Jon BonJovi business plan would be similar to his music - bland and effortless.

If you're going to pursue a football team.... target the one whose owner is in his 90s. He's bound to die sooner or later. (And now he has).

Jon's from Jersey, so he should logically be trying to buy the Giants.... but the Bills are probably an easier acquisition, all things considered.

[Nickdfresh]

I think they're a bargain, for him. There are a lot of jitters here today about the team moving. Wilson's daughter's don't want the team (rumor has it) because the death tax would hinder profits and they're not that interested. But the team is profitable in Buffalo, very profitable with almost no overhead. It might change with a new ownership group that will go into debt in all likelihood...

[Sensible Shoes]

This is going to put the town on it's ear. I'm glad I'm not working in news right now.

[Nickdfresh]

The WGRZ broadcast was just a giant "in memoriam" for ol' Ralph. It's just a shame that this happens and Kelly's cancer has returned. Just very demoralizing at 1 Bills Dr. I suspect Mr. Wilson's health has been failing for some weeks now. It's interesting how these stories are never broken locally - but always come out on ESPN or something...

Two zillionaire NFL owners that lived a mile apart in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan pass away within a couple of weeks of each other. Crazy.

Wilson bought the Bills for $25,000 and now they're worth $900 MILLION!! Nice investment!

Now Bon Jovi can buy those shitty Bills, and move them to Toronto!

They might hit .500 in the CFL. Should bundle them with the Girls.

At least they'd make the playoffs then, unlike Detroit...
