Too bad.... I wonder how this affects the Bills future in WNY? I did meet him about 20 years ago and he struck me as a man that cared deeply for all of western NY, and not just Buffalo. It would have been nice for him to see a winner just once since the "Music City Miracle." No playoffs and many coaches and quarterbacks.

He was the only thing keeping Buffalo in wny. The area is in straight panic mode especially with Jim Kelly battling cancer again... Jim was our only real Hope to keep Buffalo here

What's with the push to move from Buffalo? They seem to have a strong enough fan base, don't they?

His kids inherit the team and they have no desire run It... Widely published here that Ralph has tried to get investors lined up who wanted to keep the team local prior to this day happening. Also the league keeps pushing International/LA/Vegas and with Toronto being so close/Current deal with Buffalo games, and all 3 are larger markets, it just seems inevitable

We have A great fan base and regularly sell out but now were in limbo
