All of your points are reasonably valid, but only in the short term. Billion dollar investors think long term. Think in the long term for a minute. What location gives the NFL and new ownership a larger and international market, and in turn makes them the most money? Pretty obviously that's Toronto. I'm not saying that is the choice they will make because quite frankly I have no freaking idea what their thought process is. But dismissing it as a unlikely happening is not thinking clearly in my opinion.

I think he does. And I say if kdiggz and others believe it will have an impact (I don't) then go for it! I would suggest staying of the right side of the law though and not attempting anything that will get anyone charged with a felony like what has been mentioned in another thread..

Tougher to watch maybe

I think you answered your own question. If he is independent then he would be free to cheerlead for whomever he likes. As to why he is doing it, others have reported they have known each other for a while, maybe they are friends? Who knows and quite frankly, who cares.

Awesome to see Bills fans helping Bills fans!

Spiller is in the autograph tent after practice today. Get a kid to go in and ask him I'd have one of mine do it but they were too lazy to get out of bed for a 8 am practice today

All media reporting on this topic is simply looking for clicks and eyeballs at this point. A strict NDA among all parties that have any part of the process tends to do that. Everything you read until an announcement is made is pure 100% speculation, no matter how hard people try and make you believe it is not. This includes JBJ as well as non JBJ related "news" on the matter.

What the !@#$ are you talking about?

I have no doubt that is the plan at OBD. Let's hope the plan works out.

I do not believe that for a second. Would you stop going to and watching NFL games completely if the Seahawks moved to Vancouver? ... Exactly.

Perfect. Easy and free!

There must be some form of electronic transfer available. If you call your ticket rep I'm sure they can tell you. And please post back here if you do

Damn you both, now I'm hungry! So is there wifi?

You are comparing apples to oranges. One game played by the Buffalo Bills, not the Toronto Leafs or whatever, a season. Plus the team has sucked every year of the "experiment". I do not know if a team there would be viable or not. But I strongly suspect that the people backing JBJ know a lot more about the market there than anyone here does.

I get where you are coming from, and while I do not strictly agree I do understand. But is this a reason to come into a NFL training camp not fit enough to practice?

So then, Sully is on vacation at the start of camp. Makes me want to read his schlock all the more.

I'm hoping Gilmore continues to improve and won't have to hold as much to keep from being beaten.

This for sure. Even if he did not, the hired consultant would let them know in about 5 minutes.

That link I posted I believe shows how to set security so others would not be able to. Plus it's not that strong, a person would have to be real close to you.

Be careful too, particularly if you do not have an unlimited data plan

I don't intend on changing your mind, but not athletes? That is just silly. The fitness and toughness of the average hockey player is far superior to that of any of the top 3 US sports. And regarding world wide support, it is far more popular in the rest of the world (Europe in particular) than football or basketball. Baseball is surprisingly popular in Japan and is growing in China so I'm not sure which is more popular. I also dislike the assclowns like Peters and Kaletta. I saddened me deeply to see that the Sabres have a Kaletta-Junior in development camp. Every year there is less and less need for players like them. Hopefully the Sabres will figure that out as well.

Personal hotspot is an option as well. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517

To my knowledge it does not out at the practice fields. Or at least it did not in previous years. I think my wife and kids are going today so I will ask them to check.

I disagree only in that it should not have to be made mandatory or put in the contract. The players are supposed to be professionals and as such should be motivated enough, and professional enough, to keep themselves in shape and not show up to camp as an overweight out of shape slob. My daughter is a high school basketball player. During the entire off season she is working with a coach, and doing strength training etc. to keep herself fit and strong and improve her game. She does this willingly on her own. You would think all professional athletes would care at least as much as a high school kid. But, some people simply have no self discipline and cannot workout without someone forcing them to. Multimillionaire athletes however, can and should hire someone if they lack the self discipline themselves. Were I a NFL GM I would have absolutely no patience for anyone who disrespected the team enough to show up to camp out of shape.

The list is posted now. EJ Manuel and Thad the Impaler in the autograph tent(s) today! Though it looks like they have it setup different this year. Two tents with one player each instead of one tent with 4 players like previous years. FredEx is signing tomorrow, 7/22!
