N-Dimensional Vomit Induction, Where N is a Large Number

[1argoholic]

IF the NFL ever came to Toronto I for one would NEVER go.

Toronto is one huge F up of a place at this time. Between the BS at City Hall and the Pro sports owners jerking around and crapping on each others teams I'm sick of it. No respect at all. What comes around goes around Rogers. Oh and screw you and your games.

That's how I read it. It's a marketing piece to sell NFL tix.

Seriously. Are CFL fans that insecure? I really think CFL/Argo fans need to get off the soap opera train every time a bloody "NFL in TO" story gets printed. We all know what it will take to get a franchise ... so only when we see real concrete steps being actually TAKEN and not talked about ... we should pretty much ignore this drivel and not feed the stupid melodrama.

We have a new home for the team to discuss. At least that is something real!!!

Most sensible post on this topic, for sure. Except that the new home for our team is still not real (even though some posters claim to be in the know about what will happen).

So let me get this straight. The very morning of the Grey Cup CBS reports on the Bills to Toronto and the Bon Jovi link: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/...-buffalo-bills. The Toronto papers pick up on it and it grows in prominence over the next 24 hours. This morning I visit the National Post to see what Grey Cup story they're leading with and instead see Bon Jovi.

I mean f*ck off. I'm not usually given to corporate conspiracy theories but the timing on this is just too weird. The day of the GC and a week before the Bills in T.O.? The original story cites "numerous sources" but surely this was a leak out of Rogers or MLSE. They get to preempt (at least to some extent) coverage of the CFL's biggest night and gain exposure for their own product.

What a shame.

Rephrasing ... the NEED for a new home is very real.

Now will somebody please put Rogers out of our misery.

This what I think it is right now trying to generate some ticket sales. Ticket sales are probably not moving very fast again, and somebody at Rogers had a brain wave and said "lets start another NFL to Toronto rumour to get some interest".

And right on cue for the Grey Cup! There are some things that a gentleman (-woman) just wouldn't do. But such is lost on Rogers et al.

These Torontonians pursuing an NFL team don't exactly endear themselves. They first tried to steal the Saints from New Orleans right after Katrina hit and now they are on a death watch for Ralph Wilson. They are coming across as very unseemly characters.

"Then there's the little matter of the $400 million penalty for breaking the Bills lease early in Buffalo?" apparently there is a small window for breaking the lease early and only paying I think its a 12 million penalty? not sure of the specifics of it but something along the lines of it being during the 7th or 8th yr of the lease. Not sure how accurate that infois.

This came up in the Sun. It is a $29 million penalty if they break the lease in 2019 only.

Get use to it ..... It puts crap coloured glasses on you, so that whenever there is a rogers related group reporting, one is always doubtful.

YES PLEASE !!!

That is the problem with rogers ( and please do not capitalize that word)
They haven't any respect for anything except for the almighty dollar..... oh and themselves. They cannot be even considered a gentleman.

Wobbler, I've had time to give this some thought;


I refuse to be a member of a Forum,

which does not allow us to share an appreciation of our Troops.


I will continue to visit and read Argo news,

but as of now, unless the aforementioned situation changes,

I am outta here.


If you want to spit on our Troops, do it in your private moments.



Ka' Pla !

The final thing I want to say is,

that a man without principles,

isn't really a man.
