Go back to near on a decade ago, and it was regarded as pretty much a foregone conclusion that the NFL would ultimately land in Toronto. Play that one out in an alternate universe, and this morning it would be Toronto and not Los Angeles that’d be “celebrating.” Keep those air quotes operational. In a world where NFL franchises are moved around like pieces on a Monopoly board, we sure dodged a bullet. A sub-70-cent dollar , the death of the principals behind the Bills in Toronto series/debacle , and the sale of said Buffalonians since, and the NFL-to-Toronto storyline appears deader than the St. Louis Rams. At least for now it is, and given the steaming piles of verbiage out of the mouths of millionaires, we have been spared a mighty torrent of claptrap and the usual NFL game of stick-em-up, now headed t o San Diego, with Oakland on deck: "Stability is something we’ve taken a great deal of pride in” – Roger Goodell. "(St. Louis) is certainly an NFL town” – Jerry Jones. (Viz that parting gift of $100 million to try and keep this shell game alive). “We have the return of the Los Angeles Rams to their home ” – Goodell, again. (Erm, that’d be Cleveland, actually, home of the 1945 NFL champion Rams .)
