NFL Team in London

[The Derski]

unfair to the players to ask them to move across the ocean with their families. Plus every away game is gonna be like a 6-7 hour flight? Playing for Jacksonville would be more appealing than playing for a London team.

.....send that horrible team called the "Jagz" to jolly ol' England....!

How long before Belichick figures a way to switch Flacco with Sanchez in the transporter?
Think Harbaugh came unglued with an ineligible/eligible ploy?
Wait until you see him looking at Sanchez out there in a Ravens Jersey "What do you mean we left Flacco in Baltimore????

That's football treason man, you deserve the firing squad for even thinking it !!!!.....
Or Harbs switching Brady with Huggy Bear Gino Smith......Pick your poison !!

I think it goes without saying that the NFL is reaching, trying to expand oversea. It just won't work, until they can teleport teams like the do on Star Trek . Just a frigging fantasy by NFL brass.

Yeah. Flying across the ocean would totally mess up players' biological clocks, making them tired and causing them to not perform as well. If the NFL wants to expand, give Las Vegas a team or see about adding a team in Canada.

A team in Vegas would not be good for the game. It's bad enough we have teams in New Jersey......

The home of the Ducks and the Beavers ?

I agree anyone thats seen the ducks or beavers or their fanbases could say football would thrive in oregon quite easily

It's probably about some payback from the Brit pussies we have maintained for so long. We even kick their butts in rugby

Since when? US rugby is terrible.

We COULD dominate, but there is a lot more money to be had playing RB or LB in the NFL.

A major travel nightmare and headache that is just not worth the effort. Bad enough there are the 2-3 games a season over there now, and from what I've read London isn't interested in claiming the Jags as their very own anyway.

The jet lag would suck for the players but if the league wants to expand there aren't many options for big markets available. If they were smart about the road schedule only the first one would be a long trip.
