Outspoken businessperson Donald Trump is hoping to become the next owner of the Buffalo Bills.

Although it is not surprising to see that Trump has interest in owning the team, fans in Buffalo might be happy to hear what he had to say to The Buffalo News this week.

"I'm going to give it a heavy shot," Trump said. "I would love to do it, and if I can do it, I'm keeping it in Buffalo."

Regardless of whether or not Trump does become the next owner of the Bills, he does have a history of owning football teams. In the early 1980s, he bought the New Jersey Generals of the USFL and, according to ESPN, he played a large role in bringing together the USFL with the NFL.

"I think the NFL owners respected me for it because I took a dead league and made it hot," Trump said. "But my thing when I bought the team was, 'I will not play football in the spring.' Even if they would have teetered along for another couple years, it wouldn't have survived in the spring. And if I hadn't gotten involved, they wouldn't have lasted another season."

Despite his history in the league, it should be mentioned that those years are long gone. More than three decades later, however, he says that he still has the respect of other owners around the league.

"The NFL owners that I know and are very honest about it, they'll tell you I did a good job and they have respect for me. And I have respect for them," he added.
