They have a commercial out here in the GTA for the Fan 590. It has Bob Mccowan promoting his show, but during all the commercials he just sits in the stands of skydome and talks about certain issues that are often talked about. He addresses the NFL team to Toronto issue very sttrongly saying basically "Anyone who thinks there will be an NFL team coming to Toronto doesnt understand the NFL. The NFL is driven by network US network TV contracts and there is no network intrest in Toronto, therefor there will never be a team in Toronto"

Not word for word what he says but real close. I think he is dead on, Toronto can hope and dream for an NFL team forever, I dont think they will ever have one though.
