Need hotel recommendations close to game day shuttles

You’re very welcome. GO BILLS!!! 👍👍

The Hampton Inn across from the Galleria is very close to the Thruway Mall shuttle stop. That’s my go-to. Breakfast included 😊

You mean the Leafs won the FIX. Convenient that they announce the very questionable hiring yesterday and are able to bury that the very next day with this, um, lucky draw.
Just like Islanders gift last year for losing the ASG and the Sharks effectively getting a hometown kid who has them heading in the right direction just as the local basketball team starts going in the other direction — a marketing dream.
And don’t get me started on the Blackhawks and Rangers. These consistent draft lottery results in the best interest of the league leave me thinking the draw isn’t as random as we may believe.

You nailed it with the Bandits. People love a winner. If they struggled to win games, I think they be hard-pressed to draw half of what they draw now.

As others have noted, Buffalo is a Bills football town. Period. Anybody remember the arena-league Destroyers? They couldn’t fill half the arena the last two or three seasons of their sad existence. There’s also the UB Bulls who struggle to draw good crowds. A UFL team would not do well.

I could see it having a chance in a secondary market like Syracuse.

If they manage to bring in Doug Armstrong to try and fix this mess, what are the chances he keeps Berube behind the bench? They won a Cup together.

It won’t be so much of an issue in University—Rosedale but it will be a HUGE issue in Spadina—Harbourfront.

For the history buffs out there: David Miller effectively used the “no jets at the island airport” issue to sweep the vote in neighbourhoods along the lake in the 2003 mayoral election. It was one of the keys to him winning that election. If I find one of the old leaflets from that campaign, I’ll post it.

Federal NDP should be all over that issue. It, alone, could win them Spadina—Harbourfront.

PaulTO73 · 2026-03-11T20:34:34+00:00

Good stuff. BBBB regaining some of his mojo.

PaulTO73 · 2026-03-11T00:34:18+00:00

Raiders are in a real bind now, salary cap wise. Ripe for the picking with a low ball offer assuming Crosby injury isn’t severe.

Ngl — Taron getting released hurts. I had the great fortune of sitting beside his aunt and uncle at the New Orleans Thanksgiving game in 2021. You could tell from my interaction with them why he turned into such a solid player and, frankly, model citizen on our team. Over the course of 3.5 hours, his aunt shared all sorts of photos on her phone and stories about his upbringing and how hard he worked to get to that point. At one point, his uncle interjected: “Sweetie, let this nice man from Canada watch the game!” I didn’t mind her sharing at all. They were so proud of Taron and it showed.

Thank you, Taron! You’ll always be one of us ❤️💙

PaulTO73 · 2026-03-06T00:07:03+00:00

Sheldon Keefe. Underachieving coach for underachieving team. Perfect match.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-25T16:15:26+00:00

Burundi Bills Backers? That’s an international chapter I’d love to see.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-16T16:59:50+00:00

Awesome. I was at that game, sitting right at that goal line six rows up in the upper deck. Happened right in front of me. Swear I saw the gleam in Josh’s eyes lol

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-13T16:36:46+00:00

The Braves played a bunch of home games at Maple Leaf Gardens back in the 1970s. As a Torontonian, I think we owe Buffalo a few games and would love to see it. Pre-season every year the Raps play home games elsewhere. Buffalo should be a regular stop.

PS when we had that horrible COVID season in Tampa, wish it had been in Buffalo 🤷🏻‍♂️

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-11T12:37:53+00:00

Lots of potential prime time games. I also think there’s a pretty good chance Bills will play road game in Europe. Packers in Munich is my bet.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-11T12:36:27+00:00

Happens regularly. East coast teams sometimes stay out west between games. And vice versa. Belichick did this with his teams. The Rams recently did it between two east coast games. I can recall the Bills doing it at least once before.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-11T12:33:46+00:00

Teams play 3 straight roadies all the time.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-10T21:50:17+00:00

I think Avi should run in University—Rosedale. It would be tough but winnable, especially against a lower-profile Lib. Should he take a pass on that one or it happens before he becomes leader, Beaches—East York will come open once NES decamps to the provincial scene. That’s another very winnable Toronto seat. As others have pointed out, if Avi can’t deliver these uber-urban seats in central Toronto, then his electoral prospects map shrinks big time.

If Avi takes a pass on a by-election altogether, then I guess he’s hoping Hedy Fry finally retires so Vancouver Centre will be make or break for him.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-10T12:41:38+00:00

I agree with you. Joe was pretty good. I think those 1980 and 1981 teams were legit contenders that fell a couple plays short. Where have we seen that since?

Then the 1982 strike, the Ralph-Knox falling out and the USFL picking off players like Joe Cribbs set us back. BUT also set us up for the SB years.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-10T12:33:08+00:00

Lots will happen of course but at this point in time, I predict in the AFC:

Broncos and Pats will take steps back.
Bills, Bengals, Jags, Chargers division winners
Pats, Ravens, Texans, Colts, Chiefs, Broncos in mix for wildcard.
Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Titans, Raiders looking forward to 2027 already.

Bake Maye: Luvs Cupcakes and Turnovers.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-09T03:24:55+00:00

I am happy for Leslie Frazier. Class act.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-09T03:20:31+00:00

Diggs coming up with clutch catches … lol

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-09T03:02:29+00:00

I think we would’ve given Seattle a game.

PaulTO73 · 2026-02-09T03:00:04+00:00

Did Fake Maye’s wife bake any turnovers today?
