The owner of Pabst Blue Ribbon and person responsible for saving our beloved Twinkies, C. Dean Metropoulos, has shown his interest in buying the Buffalo Bills.

A Metropoulos spokesman had this to suy about the potential interest (via Fox Sports).
The Metropoulos family has a continued interest in acquiring an NFL franchise and expects to review any such opportunity.
Further reported by Metropoulous’ son…
An NFL team is of serious interest to my family, and we love the Bills brand, Metropoulos said.
Metropoulous tried to buy the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008, but he was unsuccessful in his bid, and the team ultimately was sold to Shad Khan in 2011.
Metropoulos joins several potential buyers who have expressed their interest in purchasing the team, which includes: Jon Bon Jovi and Donald Trump. Additionally, Tom Golisano, and Larry Tannebaum of Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment are among the interested parties.
Cute thought here.

We can only imagine what type of signature food would be at the Bills game should this transaction go through.
Pabst Beer Battered Deep Fried Twinkies, and of course a nice can of this classy brew to wash down this calorie laden treat.
