After taking on President Barack Obama and his handling of Ebola, Donald Trump returned to Twitter to bash another target, the National Football League.
Trump has been a long-time adversary of the league dating back to his days as an owner in the upstart United States Football League. After that league folded, it sued the NFL and won, but only received $1 in damages.
There are just so many penalties and such long commercials in these NFL games that they are no longer worth watching. Soft hitting & boring!

The billionaire real estate mogul recently met with the now-former owners of the Buffalo Bills about acquiring the franchise which became available when principle owner Ralph Wilson died.
Trump was angry when he did not get the team and went on a Twitter rant about it.
Even though I refused to pay a ridiculous price for the Buffalo Bills, I would have produced a winner. Now that won't happen.

The people of Buffalo should be happy Terry Pegula got the team but I hope he does better w/the Bills than he has w/the Sabres. Good luck!

Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula purchased the Bills for $1.4 billion.
