BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP)—The Buffalo Bills will receive $78 million—more than double their calculated 2006 operating income—to play eight games in Toronto over the next five years.


Holy! Rogers pays Buffalo Bills $78 million to play 8 games in Toronto and only 5 regular season games.

what the hell??
what are they planing to sell the tickets at, either way im not going for that crap

[thelefteyeguy]

ticket sales have been dismal so far...so one wants to commit to an unknown price for 5 years...guess Rogers thinks we are stupid or something.

hope Rogers loses a boatload on this

[patriot]

I might be wrong but I heard something like $200 for the cheap seats ....

[robmik43]

If Rogers does lose a boatload on this,
(depends what they expect out of non-seating revenues),
there's millions of cable, phone, internet
users who will be unwillingly offsetting
that loss with higher cost services. :mad:

I guess Rogers is using the money he ripped off from us? bastard

Teddy got taken for a ride.
And yes, the money he's been ripping off us customers are used for this :(

Maybe he'll give away tix when he finds out nobody wants to pay the $$$$ he's expecting. You just know his mindset is that Canadians love bending over and taking it.

He's an old dumb ******, more or less. He thinsk at his age he still knows how to make savvy business decisions, which obviously he doesnt. When and if teksavvy loses their throttling, I hope alot more people leave rogers and go to really any other isp then rogers/bell.
