Sadness heading for Buffalo?

Read this article from cnnsi.com.

As regular Packergeeks readers may know, I like Buffalo and make a habit of picking them in my spread picks due purely to just liking this team. They are a small market team, who plays real football in real weather, they have hearty/faithful fans, they have a history of some serious success (and disappointments), and one of the most (perhaps only) sensible political commentators out there as a fan - Tim Russert. When I read this article, especially the smug quotes by the powers that are in Toronto and Ralph Wilson’s evasive comments re the Bills future in Buffalo, I just got angry that money may be the decisive factor in Buffalo losing their team. While I don’t worry that this will happen to Green Bay (that would spell the likely doom of the NFL if it did), I worry that hard-working fans who shell out $46 a ticket may soon be deprived of something that has become part of the fabric of their culture.

I am trying to figure out just how strongly I feel about this possibility and the only indicator I could come up with is how much money I myself would donate to the Bills for the franchise to continue in Buffalo - I decided $250 (which is a lot coming from a guy who used to strategically buy the first round at the bar when everyone is sober and remembers who bought and then drinks free the rest of the night…just kidding…sort of…well, at least I don’t practice that bit of financial wisdom anymore…).

Please Ralph Wilson, or some new wealthy Buffaloian, as it were, keep the team there.
