All my bags are packed; I’m ready to go. I’m standin’ here outside your door. I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. -Peter Paul & Mary
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! A little football talk. It’s summertime. We need just a little somethin’ to break the monotony of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be a little bit out of control. Let’s go Buffalo! Let’s go to Toronto?
Is it true? Are the Bills really gonna shuffle? Shuffle out of Buffalo? This may be old news to some of yous. Not to me. I’m a little slow. A little to slow to know. Apparently, there are businessmen in Toronto that are ready to plunk down mega-millions for the Bills and move them there. When I move, you move. Just like that.
The team already has plans to play eight games in Toronto over the next five years. Bills Toronto Series organizers have already announced that more than ninety per cent of standard tickets have been sold for the first three of these Bills Toronto Series games. Roger Goodell continues to strengthen his commitment to spreading the appeal of the NFL beyond the borders of the United States. I don’t mean to brag. I don’t mean to boast. But I’m intercontinental when I eat French Toast.
After a successful regular–season debut in England last year, Goodell has announced a multi-year commitment to play a limited number of NFL regular season games in the U.K. on an annual basis. And now this. The wheels are already in motion. You can’t stop it. You can only hope to contain it. Bills fans cannot be happy.
I remember the feeling I got in the pit of my stomach when this was happening to me. When Robert Kraft and Connecticut Governor John Rowland signed a memorandum of understanding that would bring the Patriots to a new downtown stadium in Hartford.
Goodell says he does not agree with the perception that these games are the first step toward the team’s relocation to Toronto. Goodell says he sees the Bills “being in Western New York for a long time.” But, Goodell also says, “As far as the long-term future of the team, those are not issues we deal with, with respect to how an owner wants to pass a team on.” What say you, Ralph?
