mrags Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I just heard a rumor today that Owens announced that he will not be living in Buffalo and is looking at Toronto as his future residence. Can anyone verify if they have heard this or not? Im not trying to start any rumors here, Im just curious if anyone else has heard this. Thanks

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Tim tried that once! (To Timmy Ho's credit, he did have a home in BFLO) Hope TO knows the QEW gets slippery in the winter...?? Hope the modern hi-performance cars today are better than the Pantera's of yore...
The Dean Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I just did a quick search, and find no "announcement" from TO, about where he plans to live. That's the real problem with your rumor, to begin with. Had TO announced something, it wouldn't really be a rumor. I did find this, though: http://boards.buffalobills.com/showthread....t=toronto+owens Im watching TSN's Off the Record and a panelist says Owens will live in Toronto and travel to Buffalo. Here's the link to the video of the discussion. I will watch it in a little while: http://watch.tsn.ca/off-the-record/off-the...h-9/#clip147754
mrags Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Where did you hear this rumor? i have heard nothing, but that's no surprise. A buddy at work heard it on THE EDGE. He said he heard it right after it was announced that he was picked up. He said that on the radio show the DJ said something like there have been other Bills players to live there. Anyone heard any truth to this? Thanks
thebug Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Tim tried that once! Hope TO knows the QEW gets slippery in the winter...?? Hope the modern hi-performance cars today are better than the Pantera's of yore... Yah good point.....maybe Owens will fly?
The Dean Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Well, the Canadian mook in the video I posted, simply asserted that TO would be living in Toronto, as if it were know fact. While I don't think it's a big deal, one way or the other, I'm surprised we haven't heard about this before, if he actually said he was definitely living in Toronto. Something is odd here.

DC Tom Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I just heard a rumor today that Owens announced that he will not be living in Buffalo and is looking at Toronto as his future residence. Can anyone verify if they have heard this or not? Im not trying to start any rumors here, Im just curious if anyone else has heard this.Thanks Let's presume it's true...so what? Why would a veteran who signed a one-year contract uproot himself to live in the city he's playing?
DieHardFan Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Did anyone check Rogers Center (American Spelling). That may be where TO is practicing.
Just Jack Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Didn't Chidi Ahanotu(sp?) live in TO? Yea, Chidi lived in Toronto and had a driver to bring him back and forth to Buffalo.
BeastMode54 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I have no problem with that at all. If shows up and plays hard on Sundays I couldn't give one sh-t where he lives
BarkLessWagMore Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Yea, Chidi lived in Toronto and had a driver to bring him back and forth to Buffalo. Yeah, but Chidi was a whackjob. Oh wait.....
The Senator Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Well, the Canadian mook in the video I posted, simply asserted that TO would be living in Toronto, as if it were know fact. While I don't think it's a big deal, one way or the other, I'm surprised we haven't heard about this before, if he actually said he was definitely living in Toronto. Something is odd here. I heard, from sources deep inside Briarwood Country Club, that he's moving to Sawgrass. (But hey, if I could afford a limo and driver to take me to work every day, I might live in Toronto too!)
Rayzer32 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 He's just getting a jump on the rest of the team by getting a house there before Ralph moves them. At least he'll have no excuse to miss that home game, but how many games might he miss in Buffalo by being caught in a "snafu" at the border.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I have no problem with that at all. If shows up and plays hard on Sundays I couldn't give one sh-t where he lives seriously. i dont care if he lives in tajikistan (i would have said the moon but thats impractical for commuting purposes) as long as he does his job, shows up to work, and helps us win.
Buftex Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Let's presume it's true...so what? Why would a veteran who signed a one-year contract uproot himself to live in the city he's playing? Ummm... why not? Your question doesn't make any real sense...unless you are implying something! I guess it wouldn't be of any real significance, if he was going to commute back and forth from Florida (or whereever he lives in the off-season), but the Bills don't officially play in Toronto, yet!
davefan66 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Who cares if he lives in Toronto. He may be flamboyant, but doubt he would let living in Toronto jeopardize his NFL play. He'll probably spend a fair amount of time in Buffalo anyway for charity stuff and self promotion.
