No Shock: Bills in Toronto likely done?

[zontar]

In an interview with resident jackass Sixeiro Brunt finally admits what's been common knowledge for weeks that the Rogers related NFL bid died on the table.

Huge when you consider how much he (Mr. The NFL in Toronto is "inevitible") and the corp. invested so much hype and media manipulation which included ignoring and deriding the CFL - nearly a decade's worth of effort now over.

F*** You , Rogers. Failure looks good on ya.

I agree, Zontar. Who can forget those proclamations from Brunt and much of the rest of the Toronto sports media in the fall of 2007 when the Bills in Toronto series was announced? Having said all of this, I still want to hear the official word that the Toronto group has pulled out/failed in its bid for the Bills. However, it is looking like the NFL in Toronto dream is dead for quite some time - or at least it should be. Leiweke's leaving MLSE is also noteworthy as him having NFL contacts was one of the main reasons MSE presumably brought him to Toronto (again, according to so many in the Toronto sports media).

In the interview Brunt mocked the supposedly few Argo fans in TOR for good measure.

Go to this site: http://www.sportsnet.ca/590/on-demand/#rotation=1

Go down to Tim and Sid - August 21st and you will hear Brunt there. BTW, do you notice that at the top of FAN 590's website that CFL is listed under the "More" tab rather than having a tab of its own like the NFL or even UFC? That speaks volumes right there.

As far as what Brunt says here, I do agree with what he says about Braley and about Michael Copeland being a strong candidate for CFL commissioner.
