The Buffalo Bills & Buffalo Sabres will merge to form one team, and relocate to Toronto, according to an anonymous source close to both teams. An ownership group in Canada has offered over $850 million for the teams. The source informed brownieman.net that the decision was relatively easy to come to. Since both teams suck and win about 50% of their games, collectively they should win more. The ownership group wants to move the new “hybrid” team to Toronto in order to increase attendance and create a rivalry with the Toronto Maple Leafs, similar to the Yankees/Mets rivalry in New York. The current owners have said they’ve lost millions of dollars in recent years because their stadiums are too small and outdated and the lease terms are unfavorable. It is rumored that the sale and relocation of the team will take place before Sunday’s game against the Browns, which could result in Cleveland’s first victory of the year – albeit by forfeit.
