To the National Football League and All Potential Ownership Groups : 
 
 Western New Yorkers, the City of Buffalo and the fans of the Buffalo Bills helped transform a $25,000 investment by Ralph Wilson into a billion dollar asset. It was more than a business; it was a partnership. We, the undersigned, vow to continue supporting our NFL team in Buffalo, N.Y. with the same passion and enthusiasm we have shown for the past 54 years. If the Bills stay in Buffalo, the new owners will earn the same loyalty and admiration Mr. Wilson enjoyed for decades from the most dedicated fan base in the NFL. We also vow to never give our support, allegiance, time, or resources to the team if it is moved out of Western New York. We will not attend games involving this team in Canada or any other location. Any local WNY fan base revenue will be non-existent to the relocating owners. Not one ticket - you can count us out. 

 Buffalo Bills fans don’t share Jerry Jones’ enthusiasm for Jon Bon Jovi’s potential bid to buy the team. 
 
 Due to Mr. Bon Jovi’s reported intention of purchasing the team and moving it to Toronto, a group called 12th Man Thunder is hoping to ban all of the rocker’s music from the city. 
 
 Their rules for making Buffalo a “Bon Jovi Free Zone:” 
 
 “Bar/Club- Bon Jovi songs will not be played by the DJ, live bands or on the jukebox at your location. 
 
 Business – Jon Bon Jovi is banned from your location. 
 
 Bands – Bon Jovi songs will not be covered by your group. 
 
 DJs – You will not play Bon Jovi songs at any time.” 
 
 I love the idea of Bon Jovi trying to get a quick lunch at a Buffalo-area Chili’s and being turned down by the hostess because the restaurant is a Bon Jovi Free Zone. “Sorry, Jon. Try those traitorous cowards next door at Applebee’s.” 
 
 More than 60 businesses have already signed up. It’s a worthy cause, but how is anyone in Buffalo expecting to get married if the wedding band can’t play Livin’ on a Prayer at the reception? That’d be like having a ceremony without vows. 
 
 Maybe someone should start a rumor that Pitbull is going to buy the team. That’d be an effective way to finally get Timber off the airwaves.
– Jon Bon Jovi reportedly wants to buy the Buffalo Bills and move the NFL team to Toronto—but angry Western New Yorkers are fighting back. A group calling itself 12th Man Thunder is calling for all Buffalo businesses to ban Bon Jovi from their establishments, WGRZ reports. What does that mean? USA Today has the group's rules: Bars, clubs, DJs, and bands will not play Bon Jovi songs—including on the jukebox—and Bon Jovi himself will not be allowed inside any businesses. More than 60 businesses have signed on. "I wasn't a Bon Jovi fan anyways to begin with, so it's really no big deal for me not to play his music in here," says Ryan Jagiello, one of the bar owners who's on board. "He can live on a prayer somewhere else. ... I'd tell him, look, do what you know and open a hair salon and leave football alone." More than 6,200 people have already signed the group's official petition to keep the Bills in Buffalo.
