Not with concussions or officiating or a bullshit product. It’s with shit like this.

A London team would be great for the sport.

Yup. I don't know why fans get so fired up about the chance of it. I'm not traveling to Jacksonville to watch a game ever in my life. If they play in London instead of Jacksonville that is fine.

London was a great place to see a game, and the fans were really into it.

6 hours isn't a bad time difference, either. Hawaii is 4...would you be opposed to them moving the Chargers to Hawaii?

I'm opposed to them being anywhere but San Diego. I don't think teams should relocate when their leagues operate under antitrust exemptions.

Worst kept secret out there. LA was just a pit stop all along.

How would the AFC realign? Can't keep them in the West. Move the Dolphins to the South and the Texans to the West?

This also brings up the great possibility of a 2 bye week scheduling scenario which would be great.

One challenge is going to be the salary cap. Tax differences, and living in London is insanely expensive, worse than Manhattan or downtown San Francisco. It won't affect the top 20-25 guys, but the practice squad and fringe special teamers are going to be in a bit of a bind.

That whole agrument is silly. The flight isn't much different than an east coast team travelling out west. These guys fly on private charters for chrissakes. They are not stuck next to a crying baby in coach.

With racists and hooligans being banned from soccer games, NFL games could be the perfect home!
