I want a copy of the Pegula NDA just like I want a copy of the Massey pre-nup. Edited July 19, 2023 by Eleven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying your most recent language to your first edit, we have this (new language bolded): "We would like to thank Ron for his many years OF hard work and FOR HIS dedication TO the Bills and PSE," Terry Pegula said.

PASabreFan Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Can you wish someone luck with their past endeavors? I'd drop the future endeavor part. (Already done, I see.)

WhenWillItEnd66 Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Wow, just saw an ESPN article that everyone did not pick the Bills to win the division. Have we honestly been overtaken that quickly? This could be a long season for us. Horrible schedule, and same defensive first kind of plan. I hope a lot of the games are not televised in Jersey!! I cannot afford to destroy more cell phones! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Tim Graham has a tweet out there that Raccuia is selling AdPro Sports to Legends (the company that will handle concessions at the new stadium), which certainly would explain his departure from PSE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I Googled it. It was widely and unequivocally reported that the Pegulas had acquired a majority take in AdPro back in 2017. Strange.

Well, it is possible that Raccuia did sell a majority stake to the Pegulas, that he stayed the managing partner/owner and that now it is getting sold to Jones' Legends. (All part of the scratching of each other's backs by the boys (and girls) in the club. And like Carlin said "it's a big club, and you aren't in it.")

No way the entity gets sold without the majority owners’ approval though. As I think about it: It seems like this sale may be a product of — necessitated by — the two sides “parting ways.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not impossible that RR retained the right to cause a sale at a given price or under a given set of circumstances, that he exercised that right and that TP wasn't happy about it. Or maybe RR is getting an employment or consulting deal with the buyer as part of the deal, and TP isn't happy about that. Either way, and I hate to add fuel to the raging TP fire in @PASabreFan's loins, it has to be said: TP sure chews through a lot of senior executives, innit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have a lot to prove this season. I do think the Jets have the potential to be truly fearsome if Rodgers regains his magic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 The only issue with the Jets is their coach makes horrid decisions in the moment and is 11-23. Now Rodgers will make him great.

Today's report is that the Pegulas sold AdPro to Legends. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/pegula-family-sells-adpro-sports-to-legends/article_8d618b94-27f7-11ee-b530-b3fb90df22f3.html#tracking-source=home-top-story Graham tweeted yesterday about how - whenever he reported that PSE owned AdPro - Raccuia would send him a stern text about how Raccuia still owned it. Today's report makes Raccuia's reported behaviour even weirder. I dunno. I'm sensing something off about that guy or perhaps just that relationship. Oh, and the report makes clear that Raccuia's not going to Legends either. ADPRO was founded by Ron Raccuia, who was also the Bills' executive vice president and chief operating officer until parting ways with the team Wednesday. Raccuia sold a majority share of ADPRO to Kim Pegula and her three children, Jessica, Kelly and Matthew, in 2017. He remained a minority shareholder and president of the company, and with the acquisition by Legends, is leaving ADPRO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
