Eric Wood is right: It’s time to end this charade in Toronto
Bills fans haven’t had much to celebrate in 2012, but many took small pleasure in hearing Eric Wood finally say what’s been on every players mind for the last five years.

Bills’ Eric Wood: Playing in Toronto ‘a joke’
For the last five seasons, the Bills have ventured north of the border for a regular season contest in Toronto's Roger Centre. While it's been good for business -- ticket prices are higher than in Buffalo -- it's provided little to no advantage for the "home" team.
