NFL and Super bowl Discussions

Colts are already as good as dead as they do badly lately! They usually do badly in the post season. They are worsening already, this year!

BTW, Titans are beating everybody. I would love to see them in playoffs. But they may not make it.

I still believe the "pats" are tough enough to go all the way!

NFL opens door to Toronto...

The National Football League's Canadian drumbeat grows ever louder.

Only weeks after announcing that Canada is a strong candidate for the league's plan to play regular-season games beyond the American border beginning next season, on Wednesday NFL commissioner Roger Goodell framed Toronto and Mexico City as the leading candidates for expansion outside the United States within a decade.

"We can envision that," Goodell said of expansion outside the United States. "I don't know if it will become a reality but it's certainly a possibility. The closer to the border, probably the more likely from a geographic standpoint, but I don't think in today's world that's a hurdle to overcome."

Paul Godfrey, the president and chief executive officer of the Toronto Blue Jays who has been pressing Toronto's NFL viability for 20 years, said Wednesday night that Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, and media mogul Ted Rogers have joined forces and will bid on bringing an NFL regular-season game to Toronto in 2008 and 2009.

Sinth:

Good to see you here despite the fact that YOU ARE A BASEBALL fan!

Pardon me, what is the bottomline regarding this "NFL deal" in Canada ? I dont quite get it as you have your own CFL.

I don't think the NFL committee has reached any deal to include Toronto yet. I think it's a definite possibility down the road but not any time soon.

1. Los Angeles doesn't have a team yet and that's a bigger priority. (at least, I think....

)
2. Our Rogers Centre stadium which hosts NHL and MLB games, doesn't hold the minimum required of the NFL. Do we want to pay more tax for another stadium? (I don't think so....not my money

)
3. That would mean Toronto Argonauts would not last long once Toronto becomes a contender for the NFL team. I think CFL will have to continue without the Toronto team.

There are die hard NFL fans who would love to see Toronto be part of the NFL but is it enough to make the profit in the end? I think it depends on the big guys who are willing to invest in such a team...

Let's see...
