Feels like the millionth time this will be posted in the Bills thread, but here goes.
Pegula can own an NFL team in Buffalo. Same market = no problem at all.
Jeremy Jacobs cannot own an NFL team in Buffalo, because he owns the Bruins and they reside in a different NFL market (Boston aka New England). If he sells the Bruins (or writes them in someone else's name), then he becomes eligible to buy the Bills.
The owner of the Columbus Blue Jackets could buy the Bills, because his team does not reside in an NFL market.

I get that but what I don't get is....why is it a problem. Thats what I wanna know.
I really wish they'd kill Bills in Toronto series and have one special game a year like London as neutral site game The Bills suck and will never be embraced by Toronto. This is coming from hard core Sabres fan/Leafs hater.
Kind of mad about the win today. I wish the Bills could learn to really bottom out when they're already tanking so we could at least pick in the top 5 for once.

London??? The NFL in London every year is a joke, let alone have a team have one their annually every year on top of it.

A joke based on what? Revenue -- it's bringing in revenue. That revenue sharing is keeping small market teams afloat. Bills grabbed Toronto to protect their territory. Even with half hearted support and crowds in the 40,000, the Toronto games pulled in more money than any Bills home game ever could.
Wilson was pretty smart moving game to Toronto. He made sure he controlled the market and stopped any expansion into city which would hit Bills hard.
He may be old but Ralphie is no stooge.

Because theres these dumb assumptions that Globalization is good. It's good for nobody but stooges like Roger Goodell. The players already hate playing overseas. If you have ever gone over there you would know it takes a huge toll on you with the jet leg and time adjustment.

Revenue is what they want. Face it. And, yes, I've been to Europe a dozen times, London a couple. It's a five-hour time adjustment from east, the west coast is three. Have you ever done the overnight flight to London and had meetings in the morning? It's done all the time. Poor babies, jet lag. I'd be more scared of getting hit by an NFL linebacker than jet lag. LOL.
Oh yes, the players could remove the game in contract talks. Oh wait, they love money too.
I want to keep Nix and let Gailey and Fitzpatrick go. Sadly, we will likely get stuck with Fitzpatrick because no quarterback in the draft is ready to step into a starting role. I don't want to draft a Barkley who has never played in a cold weather environment and let him loose as the starter from day 1. We have seen how that works out. I don't see anyone splurging on an FA after the Fitzpatrick contract either so for better or worse we are stuck with him.
Gailey is an incompetent coach. Someone who teased us at first because he was the anti-Dick Jauron. The problem is that his potential is far outweighed by his loser persona and mind boggling play calling. He will go, that much I am sure of.
Nix really doesnt have a terrible track record. He brought in Mario who ended up being a solid pickup even if the price is rough (small market disadvantage), he drafted Gilmore and Dareus, two big pieces of our defense, and he locked up Stevie rather than let him go. I don't have an issue with Nix. He was dealt a terrible hand and did the best he could.
We just have to go WR or LB at the 8 spot and look into drafting a developmental QB in the rounds afterwards. This team is not that bad, their is a lot of talent on the roster and half of the problem could be blamed on poor coaching. Fitzpatrick will never be more than average but with the quality of our line and our RB's he will have to do.
