    Just got this email about Bills moving to Toronto

    I just got this forwarded email from my brother about the Bills moving to Toronto. I know I know it's a forward email, you don't think it's true, and you want to crucify me for posting it. Regardless, it' an interesting read and thought you guys may want to discuss it. Heres the email:

    At a meeting Tom Golisano dropped a bombshell about the nefarious Ralph
    Wilson. Golisano claims that Wilson's intentions all along have been to
    move the Bills to Toronto. Stay with me on this......there are businessmen
    n Toronto that are ready to plunk down mega-millions for the Bills and
    move them there. Wilson already let the NFL know of this (Apparently they
    can't stop him either). Golisano & the people from Rich Products offered
    Wilson a similar financial package but Wilson demurred....when they offered
    him more, he demurred again...& said he wouldn't sell the team to them no
    matter how much they offered; it's not about money. Wilson wants it to be
    his legacy that he be the first person to bring international play to the
    NFL. Still with me..? There's more.... Not to be dismayed, TG went to the
    NFL & has an agreement that when the Bills move, they cannot take their
    name with them, ala Baltimore Colts/Ravens. After the move to TO, Buffalo
    will be granted an expansion franchise with the promise that they build a
    new stadium & sell it out for 5 consecutive years. (the NFL wants a
    franchise in Buffalo because it's one of the original teams & has history
    in the league) TG agreed to do this & will build a DOMED stadium on the
    waterfront in Buffalo with a capacity of 60,000. In addition, Buffalo will
    be granted a Super Bowl in the future. The caveat to this is that Buffalo
    will be without a football team for 3-4 years. The wheels are already inmotion & no one can stop it. TG says that RW is playing the game right
    now..ie: crying the blues about money, saying enjoy the team while it's
    here, not signing/keeping star players, etc. Next year or possibly the year
    after the BIlls will be gone. Willis McGahee may have let the cat out of
    the bag with his recent TO talk in Penthouse. Star players don't want to come to B-lo because they know RW is a tight ass. TG also said that if he
    ran the team he will not be such a cheapskate & would turn things around in
    a hurry like he did with the Sabres.

    at first I thought it was deja vu but it turns out we already had this thread:

    I should pass it along anyway. I received this email this morning. Take it for what it's worth - a rumor. Who knows if there is any truth to it. It can't hurt to get the word out. Well, here it is... ............................................................................................................................

        sorry about that. I had no idea, it's been a while since I've been on the boards.

          not a problem. Someone took all that time to write that BS, what a waste.

                If it's true, Ralph's legacy will be that he was a bigger skunk than the Irsay's (who moved the Colts out of Baltimoe in the dead of night), and Modell (who callously ripped the heart out of Cleveland), combined.
                Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                  I hope it is true. New stadium, new owner, Super Bowl. Can't beat that. Too bad it's fake.

                    It WOULD all be good, except not having a team for 3-4 years. That would suck.

                        Though I see your point, Modell gave that city more than enough chances to help get the team a decent stadium... but the city was more concerned with building the Jake, the R&R HOF, etc, instead of keeping a flagship franchise in the NFL.

                        Most owners might have done the same. The stadium was unplayable.

                            Horse ****. There is no f'n way that two NFL teams could survive that close to one another in that small market.
