Hey brother i don't think they were trying to make fun of yah man atleast PhilHos wasn't.
All i know is i am not a coincidence theorist and i agree with what you say for the most part.
Goodell blowz and him trying to spread the game all over the world proves a lot of what you say here.

It’s all cool regardless. I just know that there are American cities that would love to have the London set up. I’m an a America first kinda guy. I too am not a fan of Goodell.

I too am glad we're not going to London this season (probably just increases the odds we will go in '19), but the games don't start until 9:30. I guess some people might not be up at that time. Oh, you wild and crazy young people.

I used to be wild. I used to be crazy. I must have been young once.
If anything, I have been up since 4, hit the bong at 6 and am napping at 9:30.
I was just playing the party guy bit and you had to go and bust me on it.

I was counting on a hangover excuse and you hit me with the post-bong nap. Uncle.
Honestly, I forgot a few of the games were even on until I checked my fantasy lineup for the day and saw people in play. Damn you Roger (shakes fist).

If we get an automatic W for going to London or Mexico, then I'm OK with the international schedule.

Be glad you don't live on the left coast then. 6:30 AM your setting on your couch and can't scream at the TV, because no one else is up sucks!!

I meant nothing negative towards you friend. It's possible to poke fun at an idea or suggestion that you disagree with, without taking aim at the individual that offered it.

We went over for the game in London and had a great time. Lots of US Bengals fans traveled and the Bengals have their share of fans in the UK and Yurp who made the trip.
We toured London a few days around the game and then traveled up to Scotland. London is a bit too big and "metropolitian" but Scotland felt more friendly and comfortable for a Midwesterner. Highly recommended.
It's a bit too soon right now but if they do it again in a few years we'll go back.

If it were solely up to me, we already would. Or Colorado, at the very least.

If any team is being groomed for this, it is Jacksonville. I think they go each year and have pathetic attendance. Jacksonville never should have gotten a team, IMHO. I think if the Bengals move anywhere, and the town that could support a team is San Antonio. Great city, great night life...affluent area.

Great news because you know they would have taken another home game from us if playing there again.

SA would be a great spot for an NFL team if they were looking to move. That might be the only exception I would make to move on from my Bengals. Too far away for me, I don’t know what I would do...

I think that the whole European thing is really about the league wanting to establish another viable league separate from the league in the US. Perhaps it'll work someday, perhaps not, but having our teams travel there and back every season is just a stepping stone.
You gotta have a product to sell and the previous experiment with nfleurope was a smashing flop..
A few thoughts though..football in Europe isn't American style football as we all know so if they are ever going to be successful in Europe or anywhere else for that matter they probably ought to find a different name.. Just think about the name alone. National.. That conjures up something unique to each nations culture..Football is already taken. League? Ok.that's fine, but it needs a major rebranding to succeed elsewhere.. International Tackle Ball League? Nah.. But the term NFL probably isn't ever going to fly in different countries..

I would be crushed. I probably could finally divorce them. God, I hope this never happens...but if I am being realistic, I think it probably has a decent chance. The stadium will be empty next year. Mike Brown isn't going to live forever. If Katie sees an opportunity to set her family up for centuries with a brand new domed stadium...Ugh, I get sick thinking about it.

Mexico is at least in a normally used Time Zone... London is 5 hours off east coast. which is bad enough but then if west coast teams travel to London its worse on them
