Getting zero play outside Buffalo, and shockingly little play inside, Hall of Fame Quarterback Jim Kelly told the local CBS affiliate he’s found investors willing to purchase the Bills and keep them in town: 

“He (Bills owner Ralph Wilson) knows how serious, not only Jack Kemp, but myself are, about keeping the Bills in Western New York. And I’ll tell you what, I know the people, I know a couple of people that have come to me and have the money to pay it in cash. I guess the best thing I can say is that I will do everything in my power to make sure the people I align myself with and the people Jack Kemp aligns himself with makes sure that team stays here in Western New York.”

I speak for all (right-thinking) Western New Yorkers by saying I hope he’s not still suffering from the concussion that knocked him out of his last playoff game. 

If Kelly, et al tried to purchase the team from Wilson before he died, would they pay the octogenarian in gold or silver doubloons?

(Bonus points if you can identify what recent episode of what show the headline came from.)
