More Scary Quotes from Toronto
The entry below on the Bills in Toronto contains some quotes from Phil Lind, the Vice Chairman of Rogers Communications. There were more from the media event in Toronto. This time, Mr. Lind is even more definitive on the possibility (eventuality?) of the Bills splitting their home games between Buffalo and Toronto.
He told the National Post "I think over time there will be more, yes." The article was titled "Toronto may see more Bills games."
There are also quotes from Eric County Executive Chris Collins and former County Executive Joel Giambra. Collins seems willing to share the Bills with Toronto. Giambra speaks as if its a good idea.
"Its an hour-and-a-half away. Its not like you have to get in a plane to go there," says Giambra. Way to go Joel, way to up that popularity ranking.
If you can remove the emotion. does this make sense to you? Would you remain a Bills fan if it happened? Is it better and more tolerable than the Bills moving to say, Los Angeles?
I look forward to hearing your comments.

I really wouldn't have a problem with any of this...and the distance...and splitting games...if the city we were talking about were on our side of the border.
The fact it's another country sucks. The fact we have to go through customs to see our football team sucks.
I'll bet if we were talking splitting the games with Syracuse, which is geographically a little further than Toronto, there wouldn't be as much negativity about it. (not to say we'd be thrilled either)
It's the Canada thing that I really don't like.
I personally will be less of a fan if they split the games. The rivalry between Buffalo and Toronto fans for other sports is just too much. I cannot stand the idea of the Bills moving to Toronto, and will not remain a fan if they do so.
Let them get their own team, its a large market and the owner would make some serious cash.
Let us true football fans and hard working Buffalonians keep OUR team, we have the best fans in the NFL!
its only a matter of time before buffalonians can t afford to support the team.so good riddance
