1. Kelly has never been the one who would be bidding on the Bills. He was always working on setting up a group and working with people to make sure SOMEONE did, and that someone kept the team here.
2. Fighting cancer and just finishing up chemo/radiation treatments absolutely has an effect. Of course he's going to say it won't.

Then he's kidding himself.
It's great and important to have a positive outlook, but cancer that comes back is bad bad news. Personally, while I always hope for the best, I am expecting the worst.
WRT the Bills, the good thing is that Kelly never had the wherewithal to be the money man for any bid anyway, so whatever group he has allegedly been putting together could easily place a bid without him.

Kelly is just a front man for whichever group he decides to back. Kelly is not going to be an owner (or at the very most, a percentage point or two), and isn't putting in a bid.

That's why I said I would love if he hooked up with Pegula in a purchasing group. And I don't get the impression that he wants to be part of the ownership group of the Bills solely to keep the team in Buffalo. I think he really wants to be part of it.
Well of course it has an effect. I'm just saying he isn't letting his cancer/treatment remove him the bidding process. HE wants to continue forward.

About Kelly, his role would basically be to give his public blessing to a group. I don't think his medical issues will prevent much. He's there for PR and to help with networking.

Nor do I. However the issue is not if Jim has Patty baggage but rather if Terry has Patty baggage. Once burned twice shy.
I want Pegula to buy the Bills so that both of our major sports franchises will refuse to talk to Jerry and Bucky.

I just read the article. Basically claiming Pegula 'run the sabres' into the ground and 'could' do the same with the Bills.
Problem is, Ralph Wilson had run the bills into the ground well before it went for sale. No playoffs since 1999, several botched GM/head coaching changes, the Toronto series?
Overwhelmingly, I think most Sabre fans believe Terry has been good for the Sabres, despite any mistakes that were made in his first few years. Will Pegula make some mistakes for the bills? Yup. Will he do a worse job running the team than Ralph Wilson did over the past 15 years? That is nearly impossible.
