And w00t!!! it is

Is there a better way to start this blog?

According to the Mayans, or the
interpretation of their calender, (above)
December 21, 2012 was to be the end
of the world

First off, as of right now, the Mayans were wrong--the world still has not ended.

Secondly, news just broke that the Buffalo Bills, Erie County and NY State have agreed to a new lease to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

The Buffalo News', Tom Precious, broke the story that the Bills and the county agreed to a new 10-year lease to keep the team in Buffalo. In addition, Precious stated that the agreement included a "hefty buyout."

Come to find out that there will be a $400M relocation penalty paid to the county should the Bills relocate.

Yes, you read that right, $400M.

In addition, $130M will go into renovations to Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Hall of Fame Owner Ralph Wilson
is "solid!" with the move to
sign a 10-year lease with the county
and the state.

So, just what on earth happened here?

The negativity directed towards Bills Owner, Ralph Wilson, has been some of the most vile ever perpetrated against anyone outside of mass murderers, genocidal dictators, and child sex offenders. Many Bills fans hate him and some have expressed their desire for the 94yr. old to kick the bucket to start a complete rebuild of the team.

But, that's just outright wrong.

You could loathe him for a variety of reasons pertaining to the running of the Bills, and you could even call him senile, lost, perplexed, apathetic, money-grubbing, etc, and you may not be too far off. Basically Wilson, in a Christmas analogy, was/is the Grinch who continually stole Christmas from the fans of Buffalo.

"...and the Grinch's heart grew
three times that day."

Is this new lease agreement, the "Grinch's" change of heart?

There are plenty of agreement details to be released and there's a press conference set for 11:00am with NY Governor Andrew Cuomo headed to Buffalo.

Right now this is good news for the diehard/loyal fans of Western New York.

And I'd like to thank the Mayans for being wrong and Ralph Wilson for doing the right thing. Because of this, I was able to kick off a new blog with some very important news and with the hope that this is the beginning of new Buffalo Bills era.
