Brandon On WGR: Russ Brandon was on WGR radio this morning and said he is always optimistic about the team's future in Western New York. It is his responsibility to make sure the team is viable in the area in the future. For the past 15 years they have been very successfully doing that off the field. Being in the room with the other owners the past 17 years has proven invaluable and he isn't surprise the support they have got which has a lot to do with the legacy left by Ralph Wilson. He re-iterated that counsel and the investment bank will be attained than the vetting process will begin on potential owners. He wouldn't get into numbers but said once again interest is high. The lease gave them a nice runway to come up with a long term solution to make it work in Western New York. Their focus at One Bills Drive is on the $130 Million renovation and not a new stadium at this time. He feels fans will be surprised how big the renovation is and how much it will significantly help the fan experience. He was not at liberty to discuss if the trust gives them leeway to take a lower bid from an ownership group that will keep the team in Western New York. He said the function of the new stadium working group is to look for the best solution moving forward and a new stadium may be necessary but a retrofit is also possible. He feels studies will let them know if a major retrofit is feasible for the long term viability of the team. He said a new stadum brings other issues like higher ticket prices and higher ticket points along with possible PSLs. He feels they have a very robust market in the triangle from Toronto through Buffalo to Rochester which makes them a rather large market.

Kelly Finishes Chemotherapy: Jim Kelly finished his last round of chemotherapy yesterday and now faces one more round of radiation. The completion of the chemo is a milestone and after the radiation is done they will have to wait a bit to see if it worked in getting rid of the cancer that spread to his sinuses. Our prayers continue to go out to the Bills great and his family.
