BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Mary Wilson is taking over as the Buffalo Bills controlling owner after the death last week of her husband, Ralph Wilson. Ralph Wilson was the founder and only owner of the franchise. He died March 25 at the age of 95. The team says "A process will be established at an appropriate time for the sale of the franchise. " The Bills also announced that CEO Russ Brandon, general manager Doug Whaley and coach Doug Marrone will remain in charge of football operations under the new ownership. Ralph Wilson founded the Bills when the American Football League began play in 1960 and was a major factor in the merger of the AFL and NFL that was completed in 1970. He long expressed no desire to leave the team to his family, and this announcement is the first step in whats likely a lengthy path to new ownership. The team said in a statement: "This process will ensure that the club complies and is faithful to NFL rules and to its obligations to New York State and Erie County. We plan to have detailed discussions with the NFL, the state and county, and others as we determine the timing and structure of any sales process." A 20-member committee called the New Stadium Working Group recently met to discuss whether the Bills should build a new stadium, or whether Ralph Wilson Stadium should be renovated. The current stadium lease expires in 2022. The Bills are essentially locked into playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium through 2019 under terms of a 10-year lease agreement they reached with state and county governments in December 2012. The deal features a $400 million penalty the Bills would have to pay in the event a court ruled in favour of the team breaking the lease and relocating. In 2020, however, the Bills have a one-time opportunity to opt out of the lease for about $28 million.

In a pregame tribute commemorating his final contest at Coors Field on Wednesday night, Helton caught the ceremonial first pitch from his daughter with his wife, younger daughter and good friend Peyton Manning watching from the field.Vincent Viola, a.k.a. New York businessman Vinnie Viola, is about to become the owner of the Florida Panthers. The deal, believed to be worth $250 million, will give Viola sole ownership of the franchise and could close as early as Thursday or Friday. The NHL Board of Governors approval has already been determined and league owners are eager to welcome Viola to their exclusive club. The $250 million sale price does not include the arena - which is county owned, but managed by the hockey team. Panthers general manager Dale Tallon will likely be among the most excited when this transaction closes, as he and his management team have faced many challenges in trying to keep the team competitive on a rather paltry budget. And once Tallon has full ownership clearance, expect veteran goaltender Tim Thomas to sign with the Panthers. If the deal comes together in time, its possible Thomas could make his preseason debut against Tampa Bay on Thursday night. So far, the Panthers have been impressed by Thomas work ethic and although hes untested by game action, Thomas seems to still possess the quick reflexes and timing he relied on to win the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2011 as a key member of the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins. ----- Chris Hansen, the man and the money behind the plan to build a new arena in Seattle, stopped by NHL headquarters in New York on Wednesday to uupdate the league on the project.dddddddddddd While details from the meeting are few, its believed Hansen told NHL brass that the arena build remains full speed ahead. Many around the game see Seattle as an obvious and prime target for NHL expansion. But while interest in Seattle remains constant, relocation or expansion is not - at this time - a priority. ----- The National Hockey League and the NHL Players Association believe communication - and not an additional rule change - is the best approach when it comes to a commitment to encourage players keep their helmets on in a fight. Although some around the league would prefer more than a two-minute minor penalty, which hasnt proven to be much of a deterrent, the league and PA will continue to keep an eye on the issue. The joint message to the players is this: Respect the rules or they will get much worse. ----- Phoenix Coyotes forward Paul Bissonnette still awaits his day in appeals court with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. Bissonnette is appealing his automatic 10-game suspension for leaving the bench to start an altercation. All involved continue to work on scheduling the appeal, but a source close to the process suggests the case will be heard over the weekend. If Bettman upholds the 10-game suspension, Bissonnette has the option to seek final ruling from a neutral discipline arbitrator. See you soon.
