Like Ville Leino?

Stranger things have happened, but I can't possibly see how the Bills could come to Toronto. Playing in the GTA would require a new stadium, and the federal and provincial governments are adamant that they will not kick in a dime to get that done. You may sucker an outlying municipality to kick in a little dough or perhaps some municipal tax breaks, but that isn't going to get it done.

So you are left with seat licenses and paying out of your own tight black rocker jeans to pay for it.

Sorry, but you are livin' on a prayer if you think that it makes financial sense to shell out $1.3 billion for an NFL team, and then be on the hook for building a new stadium with your own cash.

See you at the Ralph, my wing-eating friends.

maybe the Smugglers maybe the border runners

They're too far away from the border for that... if we do a bigger expansion into Juarez, sure.

Mexico City Aztecs actually WOULD be pretty awesome.

Things could change, but they're up against a guy who has two nickels to rub together.

One for each Buffalo franchise.




That is how you close a blog/post/article.


Pure art, BOos. Simple, yet outstanding.

The Athletics have acquired ace pitcher Jon Lester from the Red Sox in a deal that will send slugger Yoenis Cespedes to Boston, a source told ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes.

The Athletics also will receive outfielder Jonny Gomes while the Red Sox will get Oakland's competitive balance draft pick, according to the source.

That deal blows.

Cespedes for a free agent to be?

Glad I'm not a fan of either team

I'm pretty sure Goodell has made it clear he wants an expansion team open up in London. So I can't see Mexico City or Toronto getting an expansion team before them

Expansion teams often come in pairs.

If you lived though Reggie and Eck or Big Mac and Jose then I can see why. Even if you knew the Tim Hudson WNY ties you could be a fan

I live in Oakland. Besides that, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

What basis did you derive this from. Last team was in 2002 and it was the texans and just the texans. Before that it was browns and only browns in 1999. So I'm not see where u got that from

There's a mention in there that the trust will probably extend the date for bids.

Previously before that: 1995 - Jacksonville and Carolina. The Browns (and also the Texans if you think about it) were a special case. That was a matter of righting a wrong that never should have taken place to begin with. Houston later came in to even things out.

This. If that really is his plan I gotta hand it to Goddell, he's got a set on him trying to expand that game to Toronto and London.

I think it's an exercise in futility but if it did work I'd be very impressed.

Whats a few more places that nobody wants to live in. I dont see the London team ever doing well. Several players have stated they would never want to play for a team based there

Browns in 1999 were to fix the public nightmare of them losing their team. But it made scheduling a nightmare. A team on a bye every week, even weeks 1 and 17.

Houston in 2002 fixed that issue.

If they expand again, it will be 2 or 4 teams.

Can't see it happening either. I have a feeling they will expand very soon i just don't think they'll be that ambitious.
