If the Bills were ever going to leave Buffalo (which they aren't since the Pegulas have them now), they'd go to Toronto (one of the largest cities/media markets in North America where like half their fanbase exists), not Austin. Non-story. [Reply]

OK - how about a quick refresher on the differences between bison and buffalo for those of us who are range animal ignorant? I know that buffalo have wings and bison don't, but is that the only difference? [Reply]
