Bills Games In Toronto Could Impact The CFL

All the players are putting a positive spin on the Bills playing regular-season games in Toronto after meeting the Canadian press yesterday, but the unspoken theme is coming through loud and clear -- the potential relocation for the club to Ontario and ramifications it may have on the CFL. Bills execs maintain playing games at Rogers Centre is necessary to keep the franchise viable in Buffalo, but Owner Ralph Wilson admits he believes Toronto is a suitable full-time home for an NFL team. A TORONTO STAR editorial expresses if the Bills relocate to the country, the CFL Argos would be usurped. But Argos co-Owner Howard Sokolowski downplays such concerns, saying, "I don't think this has anything to do with bringing a permanent [NFL] team here."
