    Bills, Dolphins to play for real in Toronto
    Canwest News Service
    Published: Wednesday, April 16, 2008

    TORONTO -- Bryan Wiedmeier sounded just the tiniest bit insulted by the question.

    The president and chief operating officer of the Miami Dolphins will be bringing his history-soaked franchise to Toronto's Rogers Centre for a regular-season game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Dec. 7. The same Dolphins franchise that recorded the only perfect regular-season and playoff combination in National Football League history in 1972.

    One Toronto reporter on a conference call with Wiedmeier, representatives of the Bills and Toronto organizers ventured the suggestion that Torontonians who will be paying top dollar for a ticket to the game might be a little disappointed considering Miami stumbled to 1-15 mark in 2007.
    chyeah!

    I know this is kinda old news but i've been swamped at work lately and haven't been able to log on.

    I figured you guy could appreciate this because I know some of you guys are like me out-of-town Dolphins fans.

    In order to get tickets, I'll probably have to buy season tix to the Argos and then get a chance (lottery) to buy tickets.

    Basically, 9000 tix are spoken for by Bills fans already so we're looking at 45,000 tickets left. There's at the very minimum 125,000 people who want to buy tickets. I don't like my chances.

    Ok, heres what we are going to do....if this is like the London game, a certain number of tickets will be made available in Miami, and only sold locally....if you struggle to get them there at a reasonable price, I can buy them here, pick them up locally, and send them to you....

    that is a killer idea and a way for me to see the bills without having to endure the CFL.

    ive been thinking about it, and I dont think the dolphins will be selling tickets becuase its a Bills home game....when they were in London, that was a Dolphins home game....try this site:

    http://teamexchange.ticketmaster.com/html/...&team=bills

    season ticke tholders are allowed to sell their single game tickets on this site but only at face value....Im sure more than a few wont want to drive into Canada and will sell their tickets and with that site, you wont get screwed on the price, its all at face value....

    Why would anyone want to live in the Northeastern US? California and Florida are far superior places to live/work.

    If you want to see TWO teams that dont cheat, you will have to leave Mass....I suggest you head to another NFL stadium and watch teams with charachter that play by the rules....

    There isn't a single team in the NFL that qualifies. Some are just less obvious than others.

    Agree cpawfan. Every team has cheated, and will cheat, or try, in the future. Of course they will not accept it but it's the truth.

    Yeah, I've seen teams hold jerseys, line up too far into the neutral zone, punch, kick, cheat on their salary caps, and all kinds of cheating but never to the level of the New England Patriots.

    If it's the truth, then provide the proof. I'm sure that if I made a baseless accusation toward the Patriots, you would be crying for proof. I'm also sure that, if the Patriots had proof that other teams were cheating (especially the Jets), then they would be throwing those teams under the bus.

    So you believe in the history of the Dolphins they have never gotten away with holding?

    Well, I guess that settles it. Let's just give the Patriots all their money and draft picks back! LOL (you've got to be kidding)

    Not what I'm saying at all.

    I'm only against the belief that there are some teams that don't cheat. As you said earlier, what the Pats did was at a different level and they absolutely should be made fun of. I will just always disagree when people claim that not all of the teams cheat.
