Is next year the year? Maybe the Rams next year?
What is the status of the Rams' stadium. I think a team can refuse to give up a game, unless they don't have a proper stadium. Most teams don't want to give up a Packers game because Packers fans travel so well. The Raiders will be in Vegas next year, but their stadium will not be done, so that is a potential target for moving to London.
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
I need my adderall
oh please no.
We wouldn't have to wait all day for a game.
The Game Day thread would be late.
I'll be up early live blogging the vikings game Sunday, so you'll want to set the alarm.
I want to make my obligatory post, dammit!!Quote:

London football is stupid. Yes NFL, we get it. You're losing support here at home (both in participation and viewership) and you are looking for new revenue sources. But these games are dumb.
i think they are losing support at home because of things like the london gamesQuote:

its part of a much bigger picture, TV viewership is down bigtime all across the board. nfl is actually losing viewers and a slower rate then everything else
get rid of the early sunday games that no one wants, get rid of the thursday shit, stop letting teams move all over the place and shit on the fans that have spent a ton of money on them over the years and already filled their stadiums. and let defenses play again
also the whole CTE thing with parents not letting their kids play anymore is also going to have an impact.
and then finally, yes, the kneeling issue is turning people off because trump has told them that the move is anti american
add all those up, and you have a problem, but still not as big as a problem as everything else on TV
its a more exciting game IMOQuote:

Let's say Goodell puts a team over there permanently. I wonder how long it will take for the novelty to wear off.
It is anti American and the protests from these bitch millionaires turns people off. Say fuck the white man enough and he stops spending his money on you.
Ughh, really?Quote:

Is it really saying "fuck the white man" or is it saying "just because I'm black doesn't mean I'm lesser than you".
this thread blows
I know it's too cold for grass to grow, but couldn't you at least find any drying paint to watch?Quote:
