Makes for an interesting read... both the blog and the comments it generated.

I have to agree with those that are pointing out that this isn't a real fair read of the viability in Toronto (someone else's team, exorbitant pricing, marketing fumbled, etc, etc).  That said, it doesn't displease me in the least to see the Rogers guys standing on top of an epic failure with this.

For years we have been told by the likes of Paul Godfrey that people in Toronto would pay anything for an NFL team and that they would be lined up for blocks to see any NFL game.  Obviously, they were far from the truth.

What gets me mad,  is the amount paid from profit of selling me his crappy service, could have been used to build stadiums in QC and Halifax and pocketted the money with the change left over. And gotten more out of it than the NFL adventure, Ted Rogers a great Canadian, my *ss.
