BILLS LIKELY TO PLAY IN TORONTO, BUCS IN BRITAIN

The Buffalo Bills likely will play a regular-season game in Toronto and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are among the teams being considered for the NFL’s game next season in Britain, ESPN said.

The owner of the Bills, Ralph Wilson, Jr., had asked the league for permission to play a home game in Toronto to increase the team’s fan base in Canada and league owners are expected to approve the request, ESPN said, citing an unidentified person with the NFL.

The person also said the Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks are the leading candidates to play in Britain next season.

Bode Miller won his 28th career World Cup race today in Kitzbuehel, Austria, to set a record for victories by an American skier.

Miller, a four-time alpine skiing world champion, broke the American mark he shared with Phil Mahre.

“Setting this record has been on my mind the last couple seasons as I accumulated more and more wins,” Miller, who has been skiing as an independent since leaving the American team in May, said in an e-mailed statement.
