He loves the Sabres. He is a huge fan... he had seasons in the Aud! He grew up a Sabres fan in Scranton.
I've challenged these notions (the last one was easy to disprove as Terry himself said he became a Sabres fan when he moved to Olean after college in 1975).
I came to the conclusion he is a fluid fan who has liked other teams (Pens are a no brainer). He was interested in the Sabres until he wasn't (he admitted he didn't know the Sabres were for sale after the Rigas crisis; tell me what kind of fan didn't know this was happening).
I also came to the conclusion he bought the Sabres to grease the skids on a Bills bid.
If there's any doubt left... how can you say you're a fan, that you love the team, and not admit you have destroyed it and someone else should step in?
Only arrogance explains it.
