Ralph in no rush?
Bills owner Ralph Wilson is in no hurry to have his team play more than one annual regular-season game in Toronto.
Wilson told the Associated Press he'd prefer waiting "two or three years" before he'd consider renegotiating the contract with Rogers Communications. The Bills will play five regular-season - one a year - and three preseason games in Toronto under the agreement, which runs through 2012.
"I'm sure they want another game. And who knows?" Wilson told the AP. "I don't know whether they'll get another game or not. We'll have to see how it works out up there."
Ralph had better start thinking about his replacement for Dickie.....You know it's coming!!!

Ralph must sleep in a tub of formaldehyde every night.

Wilson doesn't have 2-3 years. This is simply his way of saying "show me the money!" and you can have all the games you want in Canada!
However, if as JW says, the Rogers Group wants an NFL franchise, then they may be looking in the wrong place as this team doesn't really qualify given its pathetic performance the last 9 years and the pending 3-13 2009 season! However, TO will provide some excitement early on as he shows what an inept coach and fool Mauron really is! The implosion should be fun to watch! Maybe there is hope in 2010 with a new coach, mgmt team, and possibly a new owner (the real answer)!

This is already a done deal but the sports writers won't spill the beans knowing that their press passes will be stripped and ultimately fired from their jobs.
They're doing the fine people of Buffalo and Bills fans everywhere a huge disservice.

I guess Ralph is assuming he is going to be around another two or three years. The question still basically unanswered at this point and with the present agreement in place with Rogers, what happens if Ralph is gone in six months? Although some would want to think otherwise, this is NOT a Green Bay/Milwaukee arrangement. The Rogers Group has ALWAYS made it quite clear that they WANT an NFL franchise in Toronto.
