Sorry about that, carry on.

]]> <![CDATA[Get Ready For The Toronto Bills]]> @The Trying Too Hard To Look Young Face: No, it isn't. The sky is not falling. Financially, six of eight CFL teams made money last year, Ottawa is back in two more years and a team in the Maritimes might finally be on the horizon.

Once the shine wears off, and the wannabe Americans in the GTA figure out they're paying more for Bills games than they would be if they drove over the border and scalped a ticket,this too shall pass.

If you aren't the Leafs, Toronto is a fair weather town.

Incidentally, those 100,000 reserved tickets that sound so pretty in a press release? No one has put a dime of money down on them yet. Let's see how badly the sticker shock effects people once they find out they have to pony up for all eight games at once for a minimum of $100 per ticket.

]]> <![CDATA[Get Ready For The Toronto Bills]]> Shit, with the exchange rates the way they are, the Bills won't be able to do any shopping in Toronto. And isn't that what NFL road trips are about, shopping till you drop?

Actually with the downward slide of the US America dollar, $4.50 CDN will be a fortune to the average US American in a few years.

Nothing to worry about, see?

]]> <![CDATA[Get Ready For The Toronto Bills]]> "Ticket prices...are expected to average more than $100..."

I said this in an email to Will after the Masters, and I think it's stil relevant - how is it that Golf ($50 for a major/playoff event day pass) is the unquestioned sport of plutocrats, but football ($100, for 4 hours of a midseason Bills game) is the sport of Joe Sixpack?

/Packers fan stuck in Western New York

Seriously, Bills fans are a bunch of wildly delusional douchebags*. It only makes sense to move them to Canada, where they have plenty of those.

*289 excepted.

]]> <![CDATA[Get Ready For The Toronto Bills]]> $78 million? pfft...that's like a looney seventy-five in Canadian dollars

]]> <![CDATA[Get Ready For The Toronto Bills]]> So much for Norwood hiding in Canada. They're going to find him yet.

ABrown

]]> <![CDATA[Get Ready For The Toronto Bills]]> The better historical reference is really the War of 1812, in the course of which both Toronto and Buffalo were burned to the ground, just the Bills have burned every hope of triumph or glory in the hearts of their fans to ashes.

As Buffalonian, you'd expect me to get worked up about this, but frankly I think it's about time someone else got to share in the soul-ripping psychic agony of being Bills fans.

It caused the British to tax the shit out of the colonies to the point that they declared independence.

Also, it was the beginning of the "french are pussies" meme, which is something we should all be thankful for.
