TORONTO - The Buffalo Bills made their annual trip to Toronto on Sunday but despite appearances by the Beach Boys and Toronto's infamous crack-smoking mayor, the NFL again failed to generate any buzz north of the border. The yearly pilgrimage north has failed to live up to the hype in Toronto where the Bills are a miserable 1-5 in their domed home, their lone victory coming against the Washington Redskins in 2011. While cosmopolitan Toronto, now North America's fourth largest city, has had long flirted with the idea of an NFL franchise to stand alongside its NHL, NBA and MLB teams, the city's support of American gridiron has been tepid. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, the sporting colossus that controls the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs, NBA Raptors and MLS Toronto FC, could also be in the running with rocker Jon Bon Jovi as the front man.
