For anyone who is reading this who isn't aware of what I'm taking about, here you go:

We had a pre season game here many years ago but I really do believe it is time to send a regular season game down here, the NFL is quite popular here with a bout 4 games a week shown on television including free to air television.

Quit stuffing these London games down our throats. London did not care about WLAF or NFL Europe, yet the German teams all drew well and turned it into a big party with pre-game and post-game concerts outside of the stadiums. When they shut down NFL Europe it was the Amsterdam Admirals and five German teams . . . because the Germans supported it and *surprise, surprise* there are a shit ton of American servicemen there that like football and were also in attendance. Instead of taking money from the military to act like they respect our troops during pre-game and halftime activities, why not actually let some of them see Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes.

I loved watching NFL Europe on DirecTV. If their enthusiasm is ANYTHING like the way they embraced NFL Europe, the Germans will make this very fun for all involved, players, staff, broadcasters, fans in attendance and viewers. This should have been done a long, long time ago.

Tell me if my Australian accent is any good:

“This here’s a knife.”
