Toronto would, if it's (a) not owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and (b) doesn't suck like a team owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment -- nm - Roger More Nov 25, 08:23
not really, the push for it surprises me (especially given our much higher taxes and if the dollar drops to where it was a few years ago, look out) - Beaker Nov 25, 07:27 1
- not sure about that but the bribes for the border guards are going to add up real quick. - zork Nov 25, 07:34
I don't care. I already have a fave NFL team and I find it hard to believe that anyone outside of the GTA would care. - Shaun Nov 25, 07:22 10
- GTA = Rob Ford Nation. -- nm - Diva Nov 25, 07:35
- pretty much at first, although it would help Canadian business get into the NFL game plus the Bills would probably be the home market for all Canada s - zork Nov 25, 07:29 7
  - they might not be the Bills anymore though, you know? They might become something else entirely. - Diva Nov 25, 07:37 2
    - that definitely would happen -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:39 1
      - Fun fact - i am seeing the Bills this Sunday in Toronto. -- nm - Andie Nov 25, 08:12
  - Yeah imagine that nightmare. I'm sure people in Vancouver would love to be force fed Bills games. Yuck. -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:33 3
    - and Pats fans would lose their shit -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 07:34 2
      - Is there actually that big of a Bills fan base in Toronto? -- nm - Shaun Nov 25, 07:37
      - and if they can't see any game because the game isn't sold out? -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:36
- What if they bring in hot cheerleaders? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:25
people want it but the only tickets that are sure to sell here are the Leafs. -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:18 1
- also, this wouldn't happen for at least 5 years as I hear it. -- nm - zork Nov 25, 07:19
I can tell you that if they're counting on Canada rallying behind them, they've got a reality check coming. -- nm - Reagen Nov 25, 07:16
We're really not sure. They haven't seen real NFL football in the years the Bills have played there. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 07:06 1
- *snicker* -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 07:08
