first Vancouver did support the Grizzlies - their attendance was far from the worst in the NBA - the Grizzlies had the WORST fucking management ever and the NBA fucked over both the Raptors and Grizzlies by not letting them have top draft picks like every other expansion team that had ever been in the NBA - Orlando in its first two years picked #1 and got Shaq and Penny Hardaway. Poor Vancouver had to pick Bryant Big Country Reeves and Toronto did marginally better with Damon Stoudamire. Vancouver had a piece of shit owner too. Raptors are one of the better supported teams in the NBA.

NFL in Toronto is inevitable as long as the Canadian dollar remains abover 90 cents US. Rogers Center is not acceptable to the NFL - it's too small. A new stadium has to be built for the NFL - the franchise itself is at least a billion. When the dollar was shitty it was just too big a pricetag even for Rogers - close to 2 Billion in Canadian. Now it's doable.

Buffalo sadly when Ralph Wilson dies will likely lose the Bills - I dearly hope not - not to Toronto not to anybody. I am hoping the Jacobs family buys the Bills from Ralph's estate and keeps them in Buffalo. Toronto will get an expansion team or some owner looking for greener pastures or a huge payday to sell.
