Bon Jovi Tries To Clear The Air About The Bills, Goodell Almost Comments

((HT: WGRZ-TV))

The three groups that are chasing the Buffalo Bills ownership are getting to the next stage.

The Terry Pegula and Donald Trump groups are ready for Round 2 vetting and the group that is causing the most concern is the group that includes Jon Bon Jovi and the two Toronto backers- Rogers Communications and Larry Tanenbaum of MLSE.

Bon Jovi took to the Buffalo News to try and dispel the notion that, if his group gets the winning bid, they will exercise the lone option year buyout in 2020 to move the franchise to the T-Dot. Part of the deal to buy includes not moving the team during the tenure of its lease agreement and the Trust not being able to negotiate with a group whose intent is to move the franchise.

The open letter to the paper included:

“My family and I are prepared to make this life-changing commitment to be part of the Bills. This is not a hobby or an acquisition. Building a winner on and off the field will be job one and I intend to spend as much time on the ground in Buffalo as needed to accomplish that goal.”

Naturally, a lot of fans are skeptical as are some of the Bills ex-players.

Here's a long live shot from Adam Benigni where the Commissioner addressed the issue, but didn't...

The local Bills fans making a push to exclude the Bob Jovi group are quick to point out that nowhere in the letter did the rocker mention his two very rich partners in his "plan" for the future.

Hernandez Search Day 5: No Gun, But More Accusations

((HT: MyFoxBoston)) On day five of searching Pine Lake in Bristol, Connecticut local authorities still haven't found the gun that supposedly killed Odin Lloyd, but new court records released by the Attleboro (MA) District Court maintain that one of Aaron Hernandez's alleged accomplices saw the former Pats tight end put guns in a box in his basement after returning from the industrial park where Odin Lloyd was killed. Carlos Ortiz told investigators Hernandez put firearms in a black box after Odin Lloyd was killed- one, a small gun Ortiz handed Hernandez after they returned to Hernandez's home. The other Ortiz called a "large handgun." Here's your wrap on Day Five ((HT: WFSB-TV)) WFSB 3 Connecticut Admittedly, the HQ would have made fun of the letter that TMZSports got where Hernandez said not to put the letter that he wrote to a fan on social media and that everyone will eventually find out his innocence. But, really, it's too easy... Enjoy it anyway...
