First off the Montreal Alouettes are THE MOST successful team in the CFL if I am not mistaken.
Expos were VERY popular. Management was a disaster.
Montreal offers millions of fans, in a much smaller area. As the article points out, in terms of potential fanbase (population including surrounding areas), it would be fourth behind LA, NY, Toronto. Not bad.
I'm not a fan of the BleacherReport, and rarely read it, but this is the first I've heard of this idea, and I don't think its a bad one.
ADD: Sorry Tim, didn't see others had pointed out that CFL thing.
ADD: And Apollo, I am from Montreal, living in Toronto, and I can tell you the Basketball fans in Montreal are numerous. 22,000 showed up for a preseason game!
If you ever go to a Concordia game, or Laval Rouge et Or, man you'd be surprised.
ADD I should say that I don't actually think this will, or should happen. I just think that Montreal COULD support a team. That is my only argument.
