Which are you?

Negative.  The atmosphere in Orchard Park is just too electric to eliminate even one of the Bills' home games.  /sigh/  When they were showing the Giants' Super Bowl history this weekend and they showed their 1 point win over the Bills, it made me sad all over again.

Besides, doesn't Toronto have the Argonauts of the CFL???

In all honesty whether the Bills play a game or a bunch it makes little difference to me. I won't be going.  Even if I could afford those tickets (a king's ranson) I still would not go.
I confess that the NFL placing a team in Toronto would probably kill my league.  I don't want that.
The only bills I am really interested in are the ones in my wallet.  End of story.

I hear ya.  My trick here in Atlanta is to grab tickets off eBay for the Sunday before Christmas.  Typically there are a lot of "transplants" who are season ticket holders that leave town for the holidays.  That way I can take the boys to an NFL game without breaking the bank.  Off topic, but somewhat similar:  I refuse to support MLB because of the astronomic salaries and the free agency circus, but I'll take the boys to a AA or college game in a minute.

I hear you too, Jeff.  Although one can't paint all pro athletes with the same brush there are more than enough egomaniacs out there raking in millions and snubbing their noses at the little guy like me.  I much prefer and enjoy minor league sports where the almighty dollar doesn't rule supreme.  Anyway, don't you think there is a fair amount of idoltary associated with pro sport athletes?  The public puts these athletes on pedastals.  The whole pro sports souvenir thing, adoration of athletes bothers me.  I used to be really into all this stuff in a big way including the collection of autographs.  Nowadays I know it's big money.  However, one evening the Lord spoke to my heart about making idols out of pro sports teams and individual players.  Now...I just chill, enjoy the games but don't try to make a big deal out of any of them.
But you know...we can do this with anyone in any field/profession such as tv, movies, music, politics, business,--you name it.
  That's my two cents worth here.
Take care Jeff.
