How do you figure LA people are better than in Buffalo? Buffalo is the city of Good Neighbors. In LA, people wont talk to a stranger unless it’s to drag them in a cult or buy drugs. South Central LA has had more murders since the Iraq/Afghan war than soldiers killed. Better food? What? Tofu and watercress? Better weather? Our homes never burn down from dryness and heat, and rarely slide down the side of hills, and that’s not even taking into account the impending 9.0 earthquake that is a decade overdue according to scientists. Weirdo’s, freaks and vagabonds clutter LA, choking smog, freeway commutes of 2+ hours, foreign invades, the Mansons, holleywood degenerates….yeah, La’s got it all, not to mention the Chargers, Raiders and Rams couldn’t make it there and abandoned the swill suckhole called smell A. Oh, and the government is bankrupt, and will not get better for decades, if ever. I met a girl who asked me to kiss her where it stinks….so I took her to LA.

@yooperman
They are the only team that actually plays in NY. The other two should change their names to the New Jersey Giants/Jets.

I speak on behalf of Bills season tickets holders. Give Toronto the 2 preseason games every year.

GB Packers are a perfect example.

Population of Green Bay is only 105,809 (Buffalo is over double at 261,025) but winning and good Management over the last few decades has generated a huge fan base across the USA and the world.

NFL is the ultimate marketing machine and with a little winning formula, you can have a team virtually anywhere. Buffalo just needs to revive their winning tradition to change people’s perception.

Just win and people will come!

Flipping between project runway and a football game…..I’m really hoping that was a joke

I’d rather be in jail in Buffalo, than the mayor of El Lay. And I’m from neither place.

No worries, the Buffalo Bills are here to stay.
Also, for being a small market team, the Bills sure do have a huge fanbase. I can’t believe how many Bills Backers there are across the Nation.

reconl63,

I don’t even know where to begin with your 2 comments. Your sense of entitlement is a bit unsettling and you are one of the many reasons why LA sucks and doesn’t deserve a proud franchise like the Buffalo Bills. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. We are all humans and being in a particular location or eating certain foods does not make one better than another. And neither does having more money. Or should I say living beyond your means. You are the one who DOES NOT get it! The reason for the Bills playing in Toronto is to tap into one of the biggest markets in North America and give the NFL leverage when they negotiate the next set of television contracts. If I remember correctly, LA had trouble selling out Raiders games and played half of their regular season games in Oakland for a while before they permanently moved there. Stick with what you know, Project Runway and the Lingerie Football League, and do us all a favor.

If delusion was money, we’d have many millionaire’s here. The Bills are going nowhere.

It’s strange to observe the machinations of NFL owner greed during tough economic times. The leases and terms of the deals expand into areas including impending age/death and the “Holy Grail” LA market. Probably the last gold mine left. Cities on the brink of bankruptcy, teachers walking out on kids, and Firemen being laid off, and still there’s a way for the owners to make a buck. Move the Bills to Canada? Why not. Los Angeles? Sure. Probably the only two plays for wannabe owners to make.

reconl63, I wouldn’t call Buffalo Bills fans nonchalant, they are infact fanatical, some of the best in the NFL. Nonchalant more suits fans in LA, isn’t this why the Rams & Raiders moved out?

If Buffalo had an owner who knew what he was doing and actually cared, the state of the Bills would be quite different. You add in Toronto (about 1.5 hour away) and now you have the 4th largest market in North America.

Jim Kelly & investors I am hearing has a plan in place to bring Buffalo, Toronto & surrounding area together. This team belongs in the area.

When we get the bills here in LA, I will not even have to watch them from my box seats, I can watch them on the flatscreens that we will have everywhere. This will be nice because I can flip back and forth between the game and Project Runway. And if its not Buffalo, it will be Minnesota, Jacksonville, San Diego, Oakland, or any other of those failed terrible, low grade, welfare, leaching teams. LA is hands down the best place on earth.

Again delaying the inevitable. This sub par franchise with nonchalant fans will certainly be moving to LA. LA has a better quality of life, a better city, better food, better weather, and better people. If you could place a value on human life, the us here in LA would in fact be worth more money than those in Buffalo. Buffalo has failed and that is why the Bills will be boxed up and shipped to LA.
We get it here, we have money and we are better by every measure. Can’t wait to buy my box seats.

Maybe the should sell the Bills to the City of Buffalo and make it sort of like the arrangement the Packers have.

Isn’t it a bigger deal that they aren’t closer to signing a long term agreement with NY? Supposedly they are looking at only a one year deal so they have more time to get a long term deal done. Is more time required so that Wilson might pass away and then the Nill’s will truly be a ‘free agent’?
Remember, the Bill’s are NY’s only team (I still don’t understand why the Jets and Giants aren’t called the new Jersey jets/Giants since thats where they play), hopefuly the state steps up like they did for the Yankee’s with stadium money.

If the NFL really wants to get International, never mind London, it’s too far.

Put a team in Toronto, mission accomplished.

If the Buffalo Bills move to new state will they still be a New York team?

If they suck again this year, it will be really hard to care if they move. I’m tired of it. im sure I will though. Go Bills!
