Bills GM "Reviewing" Toronto Games

((HT: Sportsnet))

And going 1-5 in games at Rogers Centre will do that for you...

Buffalo Bills President Russ Brandon spent some time on WGR-AM550 to discuss the fact that the attendance for this year's game in Toronto between the Falcons and Bills was only 38,969- short of the NFL capacity of 46,470.

Here's the Brandon interview...
"

One would think that the Bills would want to spend their Decembers in the absolute cold-home field advantage of Ralph Wilson Stadium. But the team has only won once in the time that their decisions have led to December games in Toronto...

There is no debate that the games have been financially viable for the franchise. So the front office will have to weigh the idea of making money regardless of attendance versus the idea of not making as much money and possibly making the playoffs for a change...

Bon Jovi To Bills: I'll Be There For You (?)

((HT: CBS Sports/LaCanfora))

So, Jon Bon Jovi, eh...???

Well, the HQ knows his relationship with owning football things- it goes back to the Philadelphia Soul arena franchise... Here's the Soul catching their 2008 indoor title...
((HT: ESPN on ABC))


No secret that Bon Jovi would be going head-to-head with Rogers Communications for the Bills (since the team already plays in SkyDome), but LaCanfora asserts that Tim Leiweke and AEG could be working with the rocker for the chase...

Here was Jason LaCanfora's appearance on "The Other Pregame Show" and talked about the idea of Toronto and the city continuing its relationship with the Buffalo Bills...
I guess there's only one more thing to say...

ICYMI: O's McLouth With Great Catch Jays Fan Throws Beer

((ht: mlb.com))

You stay classy Toronto Blue Jays fan.

There are lots of excuses for bad fan behavior, but not much for this.

Watch the video below. Baltimore Orioles Leftfielder Nate McLouth makes a fantastic running catch on a foul ball, falling into the stands.

McLouth gets up, ready to throw ball back to the infield when a beer comes flying from the stands behind him.

Thankfully, Rogers Centre security found the dumb ass fan and tossed him from the game.

Here's the video (Thanks MLB.com):
