With the passing of Bob Ackles it may end up that Tillman picks up the torch and becomes a leader in helping keep an NFL team out of Canada.

However, the absolute best way to keep an NFL team out of Canada is for fans to not buy tickets in very big numbers to the Bills in TO. This seems to be happening as the first game is a month away and "cheap" seats are still available (now for a single game without having to commit to a multiple game package) for a mere $70 to $195.
You have to think that the first game should get the highest impact of fan interest as well. TV or $70 endzone tickets in Skydome......hmmmm, did I also mention exhibition to that, come on TO, get some perspective.
Entertainment value = an all time low

Wow! I hadn't realized that they are now selling single game tickets but I predicted on 13thman.com last week that those were coming. The original idea was to sell all of the tickets in 8 game packages and the NFL in Toronto people thought that they would be able to do that very easily. The underwhelming response to these games in Toronto has been a delight to see.
