Bad enuff this stubborn mule would like to have the nfl in L.A. & London.  But with existing stolen teams.  Next year, there will be 3 games in london.  Now he wants every team to be in london, which might take a home game away from the big time nfl teams.  Chicago, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Philly, DC, Giants, Cowboys, New England even.  I always felt that it wouldn't happen to those teams cause their fans will act a fool & riot.  People want their 8 home games, even though they're paying up the wazoo for the games & parking & refreshments.  The nfl already makes 9 billion.  I hate when greedy fools feel that nothing's ever enuff.  And he wants to force hard knocks on teams even though most teams don't wanna do it.  Sucks when nobody respects anyone's wishes. 

How does everyone feel about more england games?  And forced hard knocks on teams?

Why are you bringing LA into the convo? The NFL is big enough that they can do well without it, but clearly a media market like that should have an NFL team. As far as having a team in London, horrible idea. Hope he's just posturing.

A London team makes absolutely no sense geographically. The home games are are way to big a distance for teams to fly and the road games are too much a disadvantage for the guys that are used to London. Let's say London has to play Monday nighter in the US. The players will be on 2AM with jet lag in their bodies. And while they may be able to avoid stuff like that on the schedule, it could be a real killer come playoff time if London has to either host or travel for a Saturday night game. Or will they change the rules of what teams play where on wildcard weekend if London gets into the playoffs.

 It's one thing to sell out a huge stadium once a year for a spectacle crossing the pond, but 8 times a year for an expansion team, or a displaced team like the Jags that may stink for the first few years. That could be a disaster in a market that doesn't really love Football.

Owners have to agree to have there teams play in London in the first place. So it's not like teams are going unwillingly. That works well for teams like the Jags who can't fill a home stadium. Jerry Jones agreed to have the Cowboys play in London only if his team was the road team. So teams aren't losing home games unless they agree to. However, if a team is capable of selling out all 8 home games, they shouldn't play a home game in London.

As for an NFL team moving to London, that is just plan ridiculous. Aside for the reasons already listed, no NFL player wants to live in London for 8 months out of the year away from their friends and family. Good luck attracting any good free agents. And it's a lot harder to scout college players.
