Rob Ford Can't Even Go to a Football Game Without an Ethical Lapse
Crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford took in a game of sport today, stopping by the NFL's big Toronto game to watch the Buffalo Bills play the Atlanta Falcons.
.Crack-smoking mayor Rob Ford took in a game of sport today, stopping by the NFL's big Toronto game to watch the Buffalo Bills play the Atlanta Falcons.
But, as with all things Rob Ford, it was not without controversy.
For, while Ford was posing for photos and chowing down on chicken wings, a prominent Canadian musician was freaking out because the seat Ford plunked himself into was his:
Rob Ford is sitting in my seat at the Bills game. He stole my seat. I don't know what to do.

— Matt Mays (@MattMays) December 1, 2013 The mayor stole my f@#%ing seat man!!
— Matt Mays (@MattMays) December 1, 2013 I hate to brag buuut... @buffalobills @thurmanthomas pic.twitter.com/5HQ96Za17W
— Matt Mays (@MattMays) December 1, 2013Fortunately, Mays was able to take back what was rightfully his:
Got my seat back.

Meanwhile, one reporter -- WGRZ Buffalo's own Maryalice Demler -- got a chance to talk to Ford and liked what she heard. In a (now-deleted) tweet, she posed for a photo with Ford and called him a "sweetheart of a guy & a Bills fan!"
She added:
@BuffaloRising @WGRZ Yepper. Had a nice chat. Down to earth. Loves the Queen City. Sounded sincere. I don't judge.

— Maryalice Demler (@WGRZmaryalice) December 1, 2013 Hey folks, talked off the record for few minutes w/Mayor Ford. Shared some insight. Seemed genuine. Not what I expected. @WGRZ
— Maryalice Demler (@WGRZmaryalice) December 2, 2013Guess Ford's still got it.
The AP says he's interested in attending an NHL game on January 1, so if you have a ticket to that make sure you arrive early and never leave your assigned seat.
The Bills lost the game in overtime.
