Don’t look now, but Jozy Altidore is a minority owner of Buffalo.

The Pegulas do have the only controlling stake, tho.

He has zero input into the organisation. Whatever absolute zero is, that's his involvement. The Pegula's own and run the Bills.

The story of what has happened to Kim Pegula is actually pretty sad. She originally had more say in the day to day running than Terry, but she had a heart attack out of nowhere and basically lost a lot of cognitive function as a result. It happened the same year as Damar Hamlin I think, so is one of the big factors behind the Bills organisation doing a lot of work promoting basic CPR skills and putting defibrillators in the local community.

The Pegula's bought the Bills when Ralph Wilson died. Pop quiz: their bid beat out another consortium - who were the 2 people at the head of the other consortium? (And trust me, for all I'm not a big fan of how the Pegula family made their billions, I'm thankful every day that the other bid didn't win).

I know the Pegulas are the only ones calling the shots, I said as much. I just thought it was funny that Jozy Altidore, of all ex-footballers, is in the group that bought the minority stake back in December.

The Pegulas seem decent as million/billionaires go.

They do, but they made their money from fracking which is pretty shit.

You don’t get that rich by being a good person I suppose.

Without googling it, and with a fxcked up memory, wasn't Jon Bon Jovi interested in owning the Bills? And I wouldn't be surprised if mango mussolini himself didn't try to get involved at some point.

Yup, a Trump/Bon Jovi consortium tried to buy them and their plan was to move the team out of Buffalo.

Moving the Bills might have gone down even more poorly than the Colts infamous midnight move out of Baltimore.
