| Today the NFL announced the Buffalo Bills will be playing the Steelers in a preseason game in Toronto Canada.
It is expected with a good turn out and if Buffalo declines to rebuild the 41 year old stadium that the Bills will be the first Canadian football team since the Edmonton Eskimos who last played in the 1900s. | |

Yeah...I'm not sure whether we could sustain an NFL team full-time. | |

| Why would they care? They've already got the CFL, which was started because the NFL refused to branch to Canada.
I guess after the massive success of the Giants/Dolphins game last year in London at Wembley Stadium, the NFL wants to branch out more. They used to play preseason in Mexico. | |

| I think its a great idea, I like having exhibition games outside of the United States.
Nobody liked baseball either until it expanded. | |

| It was only a 50% success story.
The Montreal Expos never caught on. That's why they're the Washington Nationals now. | |
