    I live east of Los Angeles in what’s called the Inland Empire (Riverside/San Bernardino). People elsewhere have no idea just how large of an area and big of a population base lives here….almost FIVE MILLION people! It’ll never get an NFL team but the numbers really are shocking.

     

    And to expand on that, Toronto has about 7 million living within the city limits.

    I'm surprised San Jose didn't make the list. Yes, it's the Bay Area, but that market has supported two teams in the past, and San Jose is dripping with Tech money these days. Not saying they deserve a team or would be an exciting location, but they can certainly afford it. 

     

    You do know the 49ers play in Santa Clara, about 10 minutes from Downtown San Jose.

    Why do we have something against the Cardinals? That is a franchise with which we should sympathize given their lack of a championship.

    We have something against the Cardinals because they've already won the Super Bowl. Just ask them.

    Isn't Toronto already mostly Bills fans though?

     

    You would think that, but go into the city on a Sunday afternoon, and it's a large mix of fans cheering for different teams. The Bills Toronto series couldn't sell out half of the Skydome Rogers Centre. Torontonians want their "own" team.

    Within the US? I’d say Portland. I don’t think JJ wants another team in Texas, even though they have the population and the available markets.

     

    Without the US? Maybe Mexico City? London is a logistical challenge. Montreal sounds nice too.

     

    Toronto would get first dibs if the NFL expands into Canada. Location of the Bills notwithstanding.

    Unintended “side effects” force LCBO to recall Henderson Brewery’s “Rush” beer from shelves.

     

    Ontario’s LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) announced yesterday that due to widespread customer feedback that the over consumption of Henderson Brewing’s new “Rush” beer, named after the iconic Canadian hard rock trio, led the almost entirely male consumer base to quote Ayn Rand in an unusually ethereal falsetto, air drum with a newfound and inexplicable virtuosity, and show up for work draped in dragon print silk kimono robes, the crown corporation would temporarily be pulling the product from its shelves pending further investigation.

     

    “While no one is disputing Henderson’s claim that the 2021 beverage offers both a ‘deliciously and unnecessarily complicated blend of hops, yeast and spring water,’” said LCBO spokesperson Marissa Rosenthal on Monday, “the internal struggle that drinking this beverage created between a newfound love of trees and a desire to move to a neighboring subdivision was simply too much for some.”

     

    No word yet if a similar fate awaits Henderson’s forthcoming line of Saga Grapefruit Radlers or its Max Webster Cider.
