So while it's unfortunate that he opened his mouth and got people up in arms, this is their general modus operandi.

hope you didn't take offense to my post canuck.

Of course not. It's all in good fun.

But honestly, don't see a (full-time) NFL team moving here. The Bills are trying out a couple of games up here, but honestly the prices are just stupid. Not to mention that the NFL has already stated that Toronto would need a new stadium if we wanted a full time team... Really, not all that realistic.
