    the chances of an international NFL team someday were "very high." He mentioned Toronto and Mexico City as possible locations before pointing to Britain as the most likely destination.

    When Chris Berman interviewed Goodell tonight pre draft he spoke about Mexico City and London. Toronto never came up. Is there any hope the Toronto media will choose to support the Argos and CFL if they admit to themselves that the NFL is a pipe dream here.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    NFL will NEVER come.... buffalo is a small market that relies on the southern Ontario market.... if Toronto gets a team, buffalo will suffer. the Nfl will never allow it.

    Agreed. And as I have told everyone I work with that believes it will happen, if the NFL really wanted to be here, they would have been here long ago. They see that the Blue Jays and Raptors get brutal ratings south of the border, and likely have concluded it would be the same with a Toronto NFL team.

    Raptors playoff game tonight is being shown on ESPN news channel, which speaks volumes. They don't even want to put them on the deuce.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    You just know that the NBA head office is hoping and praying that the Raptors lose Game 7 as their TV ratings in the U.S. is a black hole.
    Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    Raptor TV ratings in Canada are in a black hole as well.

    Raptors barely rate well in the GTA (during the regular season), but then again, all their fans are watching for two hours on a 3 inch long screen and not being counted, or so we keep being told. Same story TFC.

    I honestly don't know how London can work. I read an article a couple years ago where one plan was that the team would be based in the eastern US and fly over for games. I'll try and find it.

    Americans don't even want to play in Canada (remember the complaints about not seeing themselves on ESPN). Why the hell would they want to play even farther away with a culture that is even more different. Same as Mexico.

    I think they can get the fan support in London but I can't see this going over with the players too well. Sure, they'll take their 5 million a year but their heart won't be in it and that doesn't lead to on field success.

    When has the NFL ever guaranteed a team in its current market?

    Baltimore Colts/Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Rams/Los Angeles Rams/St.Louis Rams/Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Cardinals/St. Louis Cardinals/Arizona Cardinals, Boston Redskins/Washington Redskins, Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans....

    The Bills can be moved as easily as any of the above.
