Quote:"I'm going to give it a heavy shot," Trump told The Buffalo News on Monday. "I would love to do it, and if I can do it I'm keeping it in Buffalo." Im pretty sure "The Donald" could give Paul Allen and Jerry Jones a run as the richest owner in the league if this happened.

I can't see the other owners letting him into the big boys club!
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???

He could buy them out and still have billions left over.

Touche' sir, Touche'.

I saw this on a headline a week or so ago but didn't bother to click the link. I'll read this one but haven't yet.
Would league owners approve of Donald Trump? Quote:I saw this on a headline a week or so ago but didn't bother to click the link. I'll read this one but haven't yet. I don't see why not. He has the loot to support the team. As long as he doesn't come in and try to start running things he'll get the nod. The last part might be hard for him though.

Quote:I don't see why not. He has the loot to support the team. As long as he doesn't come in and try to start running things he'll get the nod. He has a bad history with the NFL. Quote:He has a bad history with the NFL. Educate me. I really don't know.

Quote:I don't see why not. He has the loot to support the team. As long as he doesn't come in and try to start running things he'll get the nod. That's what I mean...Donald isn't good at just footing the bill and walking away. He strikes me as a Jerry Jones type of owner. Donald as GM? Lord help the Bills. Quote:Educate me. I really don't know. Apparently he was an owner of a USFL team when they sued the NFL back in the day. I don't know a lot of details and only read up on it briefly. Something about him winning...$3.76 in the lawsuit when all said and done.
Trump's issues with the NFL are ancient history, and really, it was the USFL that filed an anti trust suit against the NFL. Not Trump.
He'd actually be a pretty entertaining owner. If he kept it in Buffalo, I can see him creating a show atmosphere similar to what Khan is doing here. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I've read so many differing accounts of Trump's wealth I don't know what to believe. I've read he's ultra-rich, and I've read he's got a lot of debts as to negate a lot of his so-called riches.
No doubt he'd be entertaining. He'd make sure you knew who owned the team, that's for sure. Goodell would probably wince a lot if Trump owned a team, but it would be entertaining. I doubt Trump actually does anything about becoming an owner. He seems to enjoy seeing his name attached to speculation, but rarely does anything come about.
The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
Trump has the resources to buy the team, but in the end, I think this is just another ploy to get media attention.
There's probably another season of Celebrity Apprentice coming up. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
The only people that would benefit from Trump owning the Bills are Dan Snyder and Jim Irsay.

Plenty of current NFL owners would have been around in some capacity when Trump led the charge to essentially forfeit the USFL in order to sue the NFL. Somehow I doubt they'll speak positively of him when asked.
Quote:Plenty of current NFL owners would have been around in some capacity when Trump led the charge to essentially forfeit the USFL in order to sue the NFL. Somehow I doubt they'll speak positively of him when asked. It happened 30 years ago when they were trying to break the monopoly the NFL had on TV rights. Trump wanted to take the USFL to the fall to go head to head with the NFL. They won the lawsuit, but it killed the league. There are a few owners still around, but the majority won't care. Can he bring more money to the league? That's all that matters. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Quote:The only people that would benefit from Trump owning the Bills are Dan Snyder and Jim Irsay. If he can find a way to generate more income, the entire league will benefit. He'll make Jerry Jones look humble. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
