Buffalo Bills fans across Western New York breathed a collective sigh of relief Tuesday when it was announced that Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula have reached an agreement with the estate of late Bills owner Ralph Wilson to purchase the franchise.
The Pegula's winning bid - a reported $1.4 billion - would bet the highest ever paid for an NFL team.
But it isn't just the dollar amount that allowed the Pegulas to beat out bids by real estate mogul Donald Trump and a group fronted by rock star Jon Bon Jovi.
