Maybe they'll take Scott Young for a 2nd rounder next year.

Good point. He was a DT in college.

Buffalo getting paid $78 million (canadian) to play 8 home games in Toronto over the next 5 years

QuoteThe Buffalo Bills will receive C$78 million - more than double their calculated 2006 operating income - to play eight games in Toronto over the next five years.

welcome your 2014 Toronto Bills!

meh - it's like the eagles moving to trenton. big whoop.

phattymatty · April 30, 2008, 12:33:07 PM

wrong. going to trenton would suck.

Even though it's Canada, it's still better than Buffalo.

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 30, 2008, 01:13:18 PM

Toronto is better than many nearby U.S. cities, most notably Buffalo and Detroit.

I for one would welcome a road trip to Toronto. Strippers and shtein.

Buffalo really made out on that deal, since the value of the CAD has gone up about 15% since they started negotiating.

caught that last night too--dude is a riot. Burn and Zinger was great

sorry for the confusion. i meant distance-wise, like if lurie had built the new stadium closer to trenton than in south philly. i wasn't comparing trenton to philly in any way or even toronto to buffalo. although toronto >>>>>>>>>> buffalo in every conceivable way.

Cerevant · April 30, 2008, 03:12:19 PM

There are disadvantages to a roadie in Tronto:

You get treated like a criminal at the border
13% Sales Tax
Not that I'd be complaining any...
