KELSAY & CO. NOT WORRIED ABOUT TORONTO GAME: Chris Kelsay was asked at today's press conference about whether he and his teammates are worried about having to travel for a home game against a division rival in what could be a crucial AFC game for them late in the season. Kelsay dismissed any concerns.

“A lot of the guys we have here are young, but they’re going to prepare, work hard and be ready to win each and every game no matter what,” said Kelsay. “We’re going to be prepared for it. Obviously we knew it was coming. We’ll take the necessary steps to make it work in our favor. We know we have a lot of fans across the border so we’re looking forward to it. And I think we have a young enough team that’s just excited to play football no matter where it’s played."



On a side note .

Bills Toronto game has added angle

BILLS TORONTO GAME HAS ADDED ANGLE: The game the Bills will play in Toronto against the Dolphins on Dec. 7 has an added angle. Miami RB Ricky Williams played for the CFL's Toronto Argonauts in 2006 and is a recognized gate attraction for Toronto football fans. Whether he'll still be on the roster remains to be seen, but Dolphins COO Brian Wedemeyer had this to say when asked about Williams and his status with Miami and coming up to play in Toronto in December.

“Ricky is still a member or our team and I know he thoroughly enjoyed his time playing in Toronto and the cosmopolitan nature of the city,” said Wedemeyer.



Of course Williams could easily be dealt by the Dolphins between now and then. Such a move could even come on draft weekend, but for now it's an extra bonus for Toronto football fans.

That was stupid. Maybe we should have Flutie do the coin toss. Chances are , he'll scramble with it.

meh- that's just athlete-speak by Kelsay. He's saying the right things to the media- people like celebrities, athletes and politicians are quite good at that. But actions speak louder than words, so we'll see what happens in December.

and you're right- the RW/Argos thing is stupid. It's not like he was there long enough to be a fan favorite, and even if he's still on Miami's roster, he won't be getting much playing time unless Brown is injured.

You'd think he wasn't there long enough to develop a following, but I saw a few Ricky Williams Dolphins jerseys while there this past summer.

I'm sure Kelsay and the rest of the team are in the fetal position over having to play the Fins in Toronto...just like some people here.
