    This line from Seths bio should explain everything.

    My name is Sachin Seth and I'm a second-year Journalism student at Ryerson University in Toronto. I've been interested in writing ever since the third grade, where my friends and I would write short stories about cultural phenomena like the Sasquatch and the Loch Ness monster to read to our classmates.

     

    I had always been more interested in writing fiction over non-fiction, however being open to writing in all ways, I gave news stories a shot. In my final year of high-school I wrote my first article for the Toronto Star, which got published; I remember the feeling was unmatched. Up until then I had only had my family, friends and teachers tell me I was a good writer, but to see that a complete stranger (the editor at The Star) saw my writing as worthy of being in the newspaper, made me actually believe I had something (family and friends have to be nice right?). I kept writing for the Toronto Star every month and developed my love for journalism, namely new media, broadcasting and investigative. I applied to Ryerson and was accepted to a class of 150 from 2000+ applicants; the feeling of being accepted here was much like the feeling of being published for the first time.

     

    Even with all this I've managed to keep my creative train chugging along the track, placing in several short story competitions and winning several poetry competitions. I am also near completing a full-length novel.

    A Ryerson Journalism degree is equal to being Valedictorian of a Kentucky High School. They cant even teach you how to spell flavor or color corretly. In one short article, this clown had at minimum 4 facts wrong. Of course he could always try broadcasting, the word "eh" translates nicely to TV and radio, or not. Well, maybe Canadian TV and Radio, rabbit ears and tin cans with strings.

    It always amazes me that the Bills are considered a small market and a small media market. The last time I was in Toronto the hotel had Buffalo stations on the TV. So shouldn't Toronto's population be figured into our market size? If you put a compass point on Orchard Park and drew a 75 mile radius (TV Blackout rule), Buffalo would then be considered a big market.

     

    While I do not believe the Bills when they say the games in Toronto are a move to increase Canadian fans, it really would be a good idea if it were true. Only way I will believe it is when Ralph sells the team to local interests, renegotiates a lease or starts plans on a new stadium (waterfront or Niagara Falls)

    I do think that the future Toronto ownership does not have the patience to wait out another 5-7 years if Ralph lives that long. I think they want their own team and they want it sooner than later.

     

    They obviously have no trouble waiting five years, that is how long they signed a contract for. After those five years, the Bills lease will expire and so will Ralph. This is a done deal, let us just hope they build a mega stadium in Hamilton so we can go without fighting Toronto traffic.
