Don't shoot til you see the whites of their eyes, NFL invasion plans 2009
The Buffalo Bills began their toe dipping exercise into Southern Ontario in 2008, we'll follow the progress of that plan into this season as well.
Whether it's the early precursor of a full fledged NFL invasion of Toronto, or just the uneasy arrangement that continues on as it has with a select number of games in the Toronto market remains to be seen.
It's a controversial topic which splits football fans down the middle it seems, we'll relay what we find below.
