HIT BY SPIKES

So what is your theory on why Pegula paid $1.4B for the Bills that were then evaluated according to Forbes for less than $1B when Trump NEVER produced the financial disclosure and was out and the group led by Bon Jovi did NOT make an offer?

EXACTLY AGREE 100%

What was the average valuation when the NFL sold its last franchise? I recall the move to LA cost the Rams 2.0B When Pegula bought the Bills, the valuation by Forbes was less than $1M and he bought them for $1.4B with no serious competitive bid against him since he knew he could write off the $1.4B over 10 years as a depreciating asset against all of his business income including fracking. Special NFL tax exception. How is the average valuation now over $7B?

I disagree that the NFL does NOT want Toronto. They want any major world class city. Those Canadian corporate dollars will not continue to flow to Buffalo under the current climate and would really really flow expotentially more if there was a NFL for Toronto in Downtown Toronto. When I managed a large law firm in Toronto there was no way I could organize a client function to attend a Bills game yet we had a suite at both the ACC and Rogers Centre. If there was a NFL team in Toronto, it would be in very very high demand for professionals wishing to entertain clients and potential clients. I don't believe it would take $10B. Probably $5B does it -- $2.5B for the NFL Franchise Fee and $2.5B for a new Downtown Toronto stadium -- however that may be $6B now due to the rising cost of Downtown Toronto real estate the cost of the doomed stadium may now cost closer to $3.5B.

Bills top of AFCE class Fish, Pats & Jets smell our ass Bills slaughter en masse

I live in Hamilton and nothing NFL related will ever happen in Hamilton.

That is SUPER MEGA YACHT sir!!!

Willful ignorance. Seems to be very common these days.

Very much so

That was NOT a test run. Toronto does NOT want the Bills. They want their own team. If you need to believe that was truly a "test run", have at it. It was an opportunity to see another team play in their temporary facility. I was there. it was crap.

6-0 in AFC East Josh Allen is an angry Beast Division Champs at least

3-0 here we come Surprising start to some Tua is over-hyped bum ----------------------- Bills continue to soar How can Bills Fans ask for more? Josh part of folk lore

Dolphins in a slump Thursday a day after hump Orange Teal Trump

Much much much smaller than Toronto.

Wrong. I go to the local bars in Hamilton and my neighbour is Indian and they all love them some NFL football. They sure have embraced the NFL What is there not to love? The truth is that if Toronto had their very own NFL franchise the demand and the sheer wealth in Toronto (corporate and individual) would mean ticket prices would be more than 3 times the price of Bills tickets. Hating on Toronto is petty. I don't live there but I went to law school and had a career there and it is an elephant of a city compared to Buffalo currently being a flea on that elephant's ass.

Switched to RedZone

I am on hold with some bull crap. Let's get this done so I can focus on the game.

2-0 ManCity. I am switching to Bills coverage.

BRILLIANT!!! I went to 3 of the games and it was pure crap. Attendees were wearing all sorts of NFL teams unis even though they were NOT playing. Terrible atmosphere. I regretted attending. If however, Toronto had its very own NFL team, they would support it like flies on poop.

EXCELLENT IDEA!!! NOT sure if this type of discussion is allowed in this new world we live in but what do you have on the menu for today's game? I got nothing!!! I spatchcocked 3 whole organic chickens yesterday that I had marinating since Wednesday Afternoon in 3 different marinates and slowly grilled them at my lowest temp for 2 hours on the warming rack. Wife will NOT allow me near any cooking equipment today and I was relegated to the role of being her Sous Chef by cutting up all the ingredients she needs to make her Caribbean Style Chicken Fried Rice including some of the breast meat from yesterday's chickens. Therefore, I have been drinking since 4:00 AM in between gardening chores and watching English Premier football and my little Udinese team in Serie A climb to 3rd place in the table with only the big boys of Napoli and Juventus ahead my ancestry team from Fruilli. After two espressos with double shotsof St Lucian Rum I have switched to local Craft IPAs in my ManCity Coffee Mug while watching my ManCity team with Latin Hispanic announcers winning 1-0 over ManU. As Martha Stewart would say... NO NO You ain't giving up that easy MF'er

Vancouver is a terrible sports city and will never get a NFL team. Perhaps a good place to have a sports related riot but not a real sports city. It lost its NBA team. What kind of city does that? THE only way Toronto gets a new NFL franchise is with a new downtown domed stadium in Toronto that would cost well over $2.5B to build given how expensive the real estate is. NO one is stepping forward with that kind of money NOR is there any conversation whatsoever currently of such a new stadium being built in Toronto. Make NO mistake about it but if there was a new Toronto NFL team it would be supported the way Toronto supports the Leafs, Raptors and Blue Jays. Have you seen the price of those tickets in Toronto? The same Canadians who have the money to buy up Sabres and Bills tickets would love to spend their money right there in Toronto. With respect to the stadium in Hamilton where I live, it is in NO way large enough or attractive enough host a NFL practice let alone a NFL preseason game. By the way, it is now NO longer named Tim Hortons.

I love the attitude and welcome your openness. Perhaps Canadian fans would consider simply sending their cheques for Bills games and just stay home. You know and I know that the Bills would not still be in Buffalo if not for the large percentage of Canadians in attendance at Bills games. Even more true for the Sabres. When I hear comments similar to yours, they are usually from Bills fans who had to move away from the Buffalo area (or their parents) to better their economic futures. I am not here to talk crap about the Buffalo area since I love its history and culture but rather point out how blessed that area is to still have two professional sports teams after the departure of the NBA. It took the intervention of Gary Bettman and Ralph Wilson to make that happen. AND there it is. Irrational fear. B-I-N-G-O!!!

Closer to 20 tickets and sure they will be replaced. It is NO big deal. Take the next step and say it -- "Buffalo does NOT need Canadian fans to survive." I know you want to.

Wrong. Toronto is the 4th largest city in North America. It has plenty to offer the NFL. How long do you think Canadians are going to continue to cross the border given the current climate down there? I personally know of 4 sets of longterm Bills season ticket holders who decided not to renew in the new stadium. I appreciate you suffer from that well established City of Buffalo fear of losing your professional sports teams given the city's 5 decade long economic decline however to say Toronto would not be a great new NFL franchise is pure homerism. The Bills are NOT going anywhere. Why the fear bro?

The NFL does NOT give a crap about the CFL.
