Revenue Sharing Now Part Of The N-F-L
WGR Newsroom - Monday, March 26, 2007 - 4:38 PM
By a vote of 30 to 2, revenue sharing has been approved by the National Football League owners meeting in Arizona today. It should be financial stability for the Bills and keep them in Western New York according to Senator Charles Schumer.
"The National Football League owners just voted 30 to 2 to provide revenue sharing for the small market teams,"said Schumer. "And the great news for us is that means the Bills will stay in Buffalo."
The plan calls for the top 15 revenue producing clubs to provide financial help to the smaller market clubs. It's beem almost a year since the new CBA was agreed upon.
Gotta love typing it "N-F-L". Video here from News 4 WIVB.
I hope Senator Schumer is right. I hope we can remember this as a great day for Bills fans and NFL fans in general.
If the details of the deal bear out the above statement about the Bills staying in Buffalo, I tip my hat to Ralph, the Senator, and Roger Goodell - and hell, even the other owners - for each playing a role and getting this done.

Text message reaction is instantaneous and very mixed:
From Dusty: "Nice trade birds"
From P: "I approve"
From Nash: "I don't know how I feel about that one"
From Dusk: "Takeo damn whos gonna do the tacobell commersh now"
Hahaaaaa man I love the offseason. And I like the move.
Best of luck to ol' Torpedo Head - I hope you do it big for the Birds here in Philly.
