  1. Word on the street is that the Knicks' targets are Lebron and Carlos Boozer (another 2010 guy).
  2. Yes, but almost everybody I talk to seems to have the same "Buffalo is a dead end, the NFL will make far more money if the franchise moves to Toronto" attitude. That's more what I was talking about.
  3. Well from an attendance perspective, the Blue Jays and Expos were the two teams that suffered the worst from the 1994 strike year. Of course for the Expos fans, there was a feeling of treachery because they were a heavy favorite to win the World Series that year. But aside from that, I've always found it interesting that Canadian baseball never really recovered from the strike, whereas the American teams show no lingering effects.
  4. Says the man who constantly refers to Trent as a "glove wearing Mary". And yes, I must be REALLY misunderstanding a mathematical principle if I think 6-4 is better than 5-5. Having control of tiebreakers helps. Not having to rely on tiebreakers helps more.
  5. The loss doesn't HELP them in a tie-breaker scenario. It just doesn't hurt them as much. Wouldn't you rather be 6-4?
  6. Ok fair enough, I have to back down in the face of statistics. However, the few friends that I have from Toronto tell me that the Argos are a big deal. Maybe it's a small dedicated base?
  7. Do you really think it would take though? Don't you think we're too set in our ways for the most part to accept a new league? You say the smaller markets might lose their NFL franchises. So let's say Buffalo, Cleveland, KC, etc lose their NFL teams and the CFL moves in. I'm not sure enough people would buy it. Most Bills fans I know would just give up on football if the Bills ever left town, and I'm sure that's the case in the other small market cities.
  8. I've heard rumor of the International Bowl in Toronto.
  9. Our strategy should be a heavy rushing attack, as I believe the Chiefs are one of the worst in the NFL against the run. I'd also like to see us exploit them with a little play action if the running is working.
  10. I'm just gonna go out there and say this...Canadians, in my experience, are much kinder people than Americans. Essentially, the cultures of American and Canada are relatively similar but I've always found my trips up north to be incredibly pleasant. I'm hoping to graduate college and go into sports broadcasting, and if my job takes me up to Toronto or another Canadian city, I'd be more than happy about that. Plus, lots of Tim Hortons.
  11. I've been arguing this for years. Americans just assume that Toronto will glom onto any franchise the NFL throws their way, but they absolutely love the Argonauts up there! Yes, the NFL is a brand of football with the most talented players. But that doesn't a guarantee that tickets will sell and that the team would be marketable. Imagine if the CFL decided to expand to America (they actually did one time in Vegas) and they put a team in Buffalo. Let's hypothetically say that the new team was more successful than the Bills. Would anybody choose the new CFL team over the Bills? No way in hell. So why do we think the Torontans will choose the Bills over the Argos? I doubt the stadium would even sell out after the first few games.
  12. Until the Bills kickoff in KC. Frankly, I don't care how many games they lose, the Bills game is ALWAYS the highlight of my week. But this week, they're gonna kick some arse.
  13. Well the draft is all about the buzz machine. Willy's draft stock will be determined over his performance in the MAC championship and then the bowl game.
  14. If Willy is still around by the 5th round, I say the Bills take him.
  15. can the bills just go ahead and draft willy, starks, and roosevelt?
  16. Drew Willy for President! Drew Willy for MVP! Drew Willy for Jeebus!
  17. and 2 missed extra points, one for each team...bizarre game are these bulls the cardiac kids or what?
  18. I know Losman is a POS as a starter but have you seen some of the backup QBs out there? He'll get signed by somebody.
  19. gringo starr is a worse drumber than pete best
  20. How do you know he isn't right? Obviously he's been playing poorly but if his coaches have ill prepared him for the defensive schemes, that could be a big factor.
  21. come on, why is this pirate problem so hard to solve? everybody knows that the only way to kill pirates is with ninjas...
  22. Do you realize how big of an accomplishment it is to win 2 superbowls as a coach? Also, he is regarded as one of the best player and personnel evaluators in the game. But no, he's overrated.
