Why would that be true? There are a lot of Bills fans up north, and I don't suspect there are may fins fans up there.
For some reasone FLBillsFan thinks that Toronto is a Miami hotbed....despite me telling him numerous times (as a person BORN and RAISED in Toronto) that the city is 50% Bills fans with the other 50% split amongst the other teams. The next largest fan base in Toronto (and I'd say its 10 to 15%) is the Patriots bandwagoners. After that it would be Steeler fans. Miami is NOT popular in Toronto. Why would they be? The team itself is nearly on the opposite side of the continent and has been sucking fierce for many years until now. Combine the two and you have fan apathy.
Ricky Williams was met lukewarm in Toronto. The city liked him as a person but he barely played with the Argos (calling it a cup of coffee would be an overstatement) because he spent half the one season on the IR with a broken arm. It wasn't like he tore up the league, set rushing records and won a Grey Cup. Raghib "the Rocket" Ishmael is more popular in Argo lore than Ricky is. He's just a footnote.
When Torontonians make up 20% of the Bills season ticket base (according to Jaws), how would they not have home field advantage in that city?

Could he get RW to pardon Lou Saban?
Not until he pardons Nick for time served as the Dolphelons coach.....

Woah, woah, woah... Hold the phone. Clinton wasn't black?
woah, woah, woah....you mean I didn't vote for GEORGE Clinton? I was wondering when he ditched the Parliament for that new 'Senate' band they kept talking about...

ARGOS fan here - I watched the game, loved it.
Leading up to the game, I thought it could be the most exciting Grey Cup game since 2005, they havn't been so good since then. Especially the Lions/Als 2 years ago, and last year the Bombers/Riders, which I was at.
Finally, there were two top teams in the big game. It didn't quite live up to my expectations, which were very high for these two teams, but it was a great game to watch. It was a low-scoring game by CFL standards, but it wasn't a sloppy low-scoring game. Both offenses moved the ball, turnovers were at a minimum, there just weren't many mistakes. The low score is more of an indication of two great defenses.
This was the dream matchup for the CFL this year, and it worked out. Good for the league.
It's too bad my Argos blew their chance to play host last year.
Yep...to MY Winnipeg Blue Bombers. That was a day of both good and bad. I drove from Ottawa to watch the East Semifinal and got to see my team beat the hometown favorite but then later that night proceeded to Buffalo to watch New England decimate the Bills in the Sunday Nighter....
A day of glorious highs followed by the most dangerous of lows....

Please don't post unseemly, prurient implications or innuendo about me.
I posted the reference as a topical item. Note the lack of tongue-out emoticons, the lack of hottie! verbage.
I'm not quite sure if I know what a prurient implication is, but if I find one, I'll send it with the yearbook. Please PM your address to me.
Thanks!

I can send you my Grade 12 yearbook when she was a cheerleader if it'll help you get thru the night....

The game is not going to sell out - as of last week there were 10,000 UNSOLD TICKETS. If they sell out it will not be a "true" sell-out.
Where did you get this number from?
Wouldn't surprise me though. Rogers greed and charging an average of $250 a ticket....he deserves to be embarrassed on an international level.
-
Really...the CFL field dimensions, those wide, wide hash marks....
I think the NFL closed the door to CFL kickers after the Argos gave them Mike "That idiot kicker" Vanderjagt.

So, did you?
Bury the shaft I mean?
No...I was that tool who dated the same girl from Grade 10 thru graduation....
D'OH!

What did you think of the contest? That Sun reporter wrote like he was suffering from Argo Angst, IMO.
The game was okay. Typically, people will complain if the game doesn't turn into a shootout. Considering the caliber of the QBs playing (both Calvillo and Burris were lighting it up this season), I think people were disappointed that the game only had two touchdowns altogether. The atmosphere was great though as Montreal is one of the most partying cities in Canada (the $10 lap dances don't hurt...
).And actually....Youppi was in attendence.

Aside: The fans at Olympic Stadium were a sight to see themselves - great costumes and enthusiasm. I'll add that the sideline sports newsbunny was stunning!
I went to high school in Winnipeg with that sideline bunny (Sara Orlesky). Shaftesbury Class of '97. She was a guy's girl. Knew more about sports than some of the jocks did. Real popular.

7) Please refresh my memory. Of all the 1st round defensive backs that we have chased throughout the years, did any of them ever take over a game the way McKelvin did today? Way to play kid!!!!!
9) Way to play Marshawn! The 07 draft was looking good today!!! You too Freddie!
I personally loved the contingent of fans who decided to label Marshawn "Bustmode" and Leodis a first round flop. NOBODY runs as hard as Marshawn does, NOBODY. For the idiots who think we should just stick to Freddie, I hope you played close attention to what the announcers said about how much Marshawn and Freddie FEED off each other and are happy to be in the two-back system we have. Also did anyone catch the story the Wilcotts said about how when CBS asked for an interview with Marshawn, he decided to bring Freddie with him so they can both do the interview? That's pure class right there. RESIGN FREDDIE!
As for Leodis McKelvin, he just singlehandedly SHUT the haters up. He was a one-man show out there. RIDONK PERFORMANCE.

It doesn't nullify it, but it's all part of the growing process of an NFL QB. Do you honestly think that we have a better chance with anyone else? If you can't see the potential in Trent and don't understand that it takes time, you don't have a clue about the NFL.
If you couldn't see the degradation in play by Trent from week-to-week the last four weeks and why it would a cause of concern to anyone (fans, media, analysts, etc.) they YOU don't have a clue about the NFL.
-
Keep it up Trent
Exactly! One week of fantastic play dost not make up for 4 weeks of baffling play. Even Shaun Hill had a career game once this season.
-
bump.
Starring former Chicago Bears QB, Smilin' Hank Burris!
-
nice foresight here. put it in your memory bank not to make stupid assumptions/predictions after a player has only played 6-7 games...
HA HA HA! BUMP!

I need to know so I can make sure I am doing it right.....
Am I now sold on DJ, absolutely not. In fact, methinks that Dick after Monday's debacle has realized he's coaching for his job now, so he's finally playing a little less conservative because he knows he was to win, not "keep it close".
As for Turk, I fully believe his play-calling is HAMPERED by DJ. I think Turk has a great offensive mind at times (as shown in our first 6 games) but when the division match-ups came up, DJ dialed up the ultra-conservative and so Turk had to call it as such.
On Trent, I don't think there were many here saying he was done. I know I myself felt the kid just lost his confidence and needed to get his swagger back. I can even pinpoint when he got it back. When he dove for that 15 yarder rush TD. Til then he still looked shaky. After that, Trent Edwards - QB of the Future returned it was full steam ahead.
Also, while we're at it, why don't we call out the people who called Lynch "Bustmode" and Leodis a FLOP too? Those two are SICK.

I don't buy the "need for stability" argument. In today's NFL with free agency, the cap and better NFL-ready players coming from the draft, a team can turn it's fortunes around from one season to the next EASILY. Look at the Dolphins, look at the Falcons. These teams were absolute MESSES last year. The right GM and right coach and voila! A competitive playoff ready team in ONE SEASON.
It's been TEN SEASONS and we're no where closer to the playoffs than we were in 1998. That is inexcusable and reveals more about this franchise than I dare think of.

This says it all:
[Comment From Train Wreck]
Forget Miller....let's figure out how can we run Jauron out of town. Will 5-11 finally doom this clown?
1:16
Sully: I called Jauron a lame duck in today's column. I don't know what Ralph Wilson is thinking, but I hear he was furious after the Browns game. He was embarrassed on Monday Night Football and he doesn't take those things well. Jauron is wearing thin with me. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. It actually gets tiresome, calling for coaches to be fired. I did it with Phillips, with Williams, with Mularkey. I wanted Jauron to succeed. And I know management desperately wanted it. But he's just not good enough. His game day decisions are as bad as I've ever seen. I don't care if he went to Yale. He's not nearly as smart as people have been led to believe.
But, but, but the players like him! They just need to execute better! The NFL is a tough league to get a win in!

There IS an Area 51. do i need to link the google earth image of it?
Sorry...with aliens bent on controlling mankind. Ray Finkle's on watch.
-
PR move at its best. Cost him next to NOTHING for a good heartfelt story and some good press. Plus it takes some of the negative light from the NFL's decision to let Pacman back in the league. This stuff is engineered, but still better to read than all the negative sheize from all these holier than thou players.
...and there's an Area 51 and the government shot Kennedy because he wasn't a Masonite.....
Cue X-Files music...
-
...and then he went home and banged Jessica Simpson. I still hate you Tony Romo.
It's nice to see a talented young QB who isn't completely full of himself and a giant douche. Tom Brady...we're looking in your direction.
-
Can you give us a timeline Mill?
10 more years and we'll be there!
P.S. Leafs suck.
-
The Jets are not going to beat the Titans in Tennessee.
What makes you so sure that the Bills can beat the 49ers? In the last two weeks, they took the Arizona Cardinals in their home, to the last play of the game (whereas the same Cards decimated us) and last week they scorched the Rams (whereas we needed a pick-6 to win).
No offense, as I want to be as positive as the next guy, but Mike Singletary has the team ready to play. More so than Dick "The Walking Dead" Jauron has with our team.
Ricky William's fans at Toronto "Home Game"

Again, even if EVERY Miami fan in Toronto showed up to the game, you're looking at maybe, maybe 10,000 people. I became a Bills fan as a small child because everyone in my neighborhood was a Bills fan. I still have a lot of family in TO (a lot of them going to game) and they tell me that Toronto is still pro-Buffalo.
You also have to take into account that the Toronto media has always covered the Bills as though they were the 'home' team of Toronto. Following 15 minutes of Leafs coverage that is....but still, the Bills are covered by TO media much like a small city outside of Buffalo covers the team. They send reporters, they do stories on the players. When Trent was hot, there were numerous articles about him in the local paper....and when the Bills started slumping....there were articles wondering why too. The media coverage may be amped up this year due to actually getting a game but they have always been covered.
