     Speculation is that eventually the Buffalo Bills will move to Toronto, Canada.  However, the thing that most people do not realize is that the NFL needs Buffalo in the long run.

    Rivalries are not what they use to be thanks to free agency.  However, there are still some that exist today that makes things very interesting.  Like, the Browns against the Steelers, Raiders against the Broncos, or Redskins against the Cowboys.

    If the National Football League were to move expand or move a team it should not be Buffalo.  Having Toronto and Buffalo in the league, and in the same division, will create instantly the most heated rivalry.   There is nothing more better than a good border war.

   We Buffalonians see it all the time at Bills, and Sabres versus the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Leaf games are not just intense for action on the ice, but also in the crowds.   People from Toronto purposly buy Sabres season tickets just to be able to see thier beloved Maple Leafs a couple times a year.  This is due to businesses buying up all the tickets.  What do you think will happen when the NFL comes to town and becomes more popular than hockey there.  Thats right people will buy BIlls season tickets.

     While most outsiders believe that the Bills will leave town.  The one thing that they underestimate is the size of our heart.  We are not called the city of good neighbors for a reason.  Just like a blizzard, or the October Surprise, people will ban together in the end to make sure that the Bills will stay here.  Even if they have to empty their own pockets. 

    Why, they are our sole, and spirit.  They have shown us what it means to believe.  What it means that until the final second runs off anything is possible.  All it takes is one game to make a city billieve.  That game was the comeback against the Houston Oilers.  Billieve in each other people, rise up when duty calls and we will get it done once more.
