We’re going to do things a little differently this week. The week, for us, has been all about the Bills Toronto Series, so we’ll use this avenue to relay our final, broad thoughts on the series two games in.

TORONTO -- This was the beginning of what is expected to be a five-year rehearsal for NFL fans in the city of Toronto, but some things are beyond human control. Such as the potential for a horrible football game. Dolphins vs. Bills, Dec. 7, 2008: Bad football game. This isn’t an excuse, just an observation...

Well, we’re less than a day away. Tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. ET, at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, ON, for the fourth time in history, the National Football League will play a regular-season game on foreign soil.

Sean Fitzgerald of the National Post went down to Orchard Park to investigate what we did two weeks ago: the series' effect on local businesses . “During the week, business is terrible,” Sabuda said. “That's why we look forward to the weekend of a Bills' game, the home games in particular...

Ticket sales haven’t gone the way Rogers Communications expected when it paid 800 trillion dollars* to bring eight Buffalo Bills games to Toronto over the next five NFL seasons, but a Rogers executive in charge of the series tells the Goal-Line Stand that fewer than 2,000 tickets remain for this Sunday...

Canadian Senator Larry Campbell made headlines in the summer when he pioneered a bill attempting to bar American football from Canada. Whatever happened to that legislative effort?

The Globe and Mail’s Stephen Brunt points out that Barack Obama’s tax policies could significantly impact what Ralph Wilson decides to do with the Bills . …any tax reforms brought in during 2009 would be backdated to Jan. 1 of that year, anyone hoping to avoid them has only a month to do business. Already...

Rogers Communications kingpin Paul Godfrey may have stepped down from his post as president of the Toronto Blue Jays, but the long-time proponent of bringing NFL football to Canada remains connected to the Buffalo Bills’ eight-game, five-year series taking place in Toronto. “Paul is a trusted advisor...

All this talk about the fans, but as the Dolphins-Bills game in Toronto looms just 18 days from now, what about the people who rely upon the Bills playing eight regular-season home games in order to maintain a livelihood? I spoke to a few scalpers Monday in Orchard Park. Instead of making the trip to...

With all the bitter feelings, jealousy, and frustration plaguing the Buffalo Bills’ eight-game relationship with the city of Toronto, the focus has been on the fans, and rightly so. If it weren’t for them, franchise relocation wouldn’t be so gruelling. Owners wouldn’t have to move teams, with little...

ORCHARD PARK, NY -- In the end, after the 56-yard Phil Dawson field goal, after the 98-yard Leodis McKelvin kick return touchdown, after the 72-yard Jerome Harrison run, it came down to the Buffalo Bills, Rian Lindell’s leg, and 47 yards. Just like in Super Bowl XXV. Forty-seven yards, and a leg. And...

Driving in to work today, I noticed Bills Toronto Series ads hanging from street posts. We're 25 days away from the first regular-season NFL game ever played in Toronto. Coincidentally, I received a press release today from the Bills with the schedule of events slated for Dec. 7. Game time is 4:05...

It's been a depressing few weeks for Bills fans, so it's nice to see that many of them can still appreciate the finer things in life, like watching a guy in a Packers jersey (a Jets fan at the game November 2nd) getting arrested. Wait. Did I say watching? I meant drunkenly taunting... Hat tip...
