Goodell is going to screw up this league.

[bleys]

I dont' give a poo how close London is to the east coast in relation to Seattle is to east coast..

This league will suffer if this happens.. Goodell needs to sit back and relax and realize this sport will succeed on it's own. Keep the players in line and keep the NFL in the U.S...

Lay off the fines a bit for the cheap stuff, he's going over board in a few areas there.. (For the bullshit penalties).. lay the law down for the hardcore stuff...

take it the f**k easy, Goodell...

London does not need a damn football team... THat's absurd.. You ahve 32 teams, QBs are hard to find for 12 teams as it is... Keep the competition strong in all positions and keep 32 teams... If another city in the U.S. wants to pick up a team, vote on it... fine.

Here is what I think will go down.

Jax will move to LA.

Buffalo to Toronto

London will get a team

Mexico city will get one.

London will be a NFC team and Mexico city a AFC. This will all take place in the next five years. In ten years wouldnt be surprised if Germany and Spain picks up teams either and one other city in Europe getting another to make a conference. Schedule will go to 18 games with only 2 preseason games. Logistically it will work just schedule the London games where teams playing there will have a bye. After all the byes are gone London team travels to East Coast games.

Rome spread itself too thin and fell apart.. Sure, the logistics can work out, but in no way can this benefit the NFL...

If you want football in Europe, bring back NFL-Europe...

But, this is JMO...

Goodell wants the International market. I would be perfectly happy if Jacksonville folded and it made the competition better. But the NFL is all about money and they want to get as much as possible.

[bleys]

I understand the root of it being money and power...

but damn, why fug up an already great thing...

[2jakefansinva]

Stupid idea.

I have no problem with them playing games over there, but to move or put a franchise over there, is absurd.

I really don't even want them playing games over there...

If it's my team, it better be an away game.. my point is, it's someone else's home game and if I'm a season ticket holder... That fuging sucks.

I just think that by playing games over there, it is good for the sport and it's good for some of the players.

I think that because these games are making so much money for Goodell, that he thinks if he moves a franchise to England, that it will continue to make as much money as a single game. If that makes sense.

But a franchise in England won't make a lot of money or generate a lot of excitement, because Soccer is and always will be the #1 in England, and Boxing will probably be the #2.

I actually would like to see them add teams in Toronto, Mexico City, and London. I'd love to see American Football become a world wide game.

I can't imagine Mexico city happening though. What player would want to be drafted or traded to a team that plays in a country that doesn't speak English?

Money talks my friend.

London would not support a NFL team. . Maybe for a little while, but once the novelty wore off, it would go away.

[StepandFetch]

yeap- Goodell doesnt understand that some times you dont mess with a good thing.

Like Kispy Kreme, they we doing great when they were tri-regional, damn near went bankrupt when they went nation wide.

Goodell is a money hungry fool.

amen.... Krispy Kreme, while they never made a quality donut...it was acceptable back before the mid-1990's transformation. I remember the old Krispy Kreme in Greensboro was a smoky, cramped counter with only 10 or so different donuts back in the late 80's... the modern, low-carb, McDonaldized poo they try to sell now just doesn't cut it.... and to be honest, the donuts are just poor. The original is a greasy, overpriced bagel disguised with far too much icing.......now....

Britt's Donuts.... THAT is where it's at.....heavenly..

wow sorry this has nothing to do with the NFL...

[Pimpdaddy]

....its all about the almighty dollar and how can the rich get richer at the expense of the little man...i.e. the players.... won't be the superbowl anymore..it will be the worldbowl...

[Highlandfire]

Goodell is going to wreck this league. He is very quickly becoming the worst commissioner we have ever had.
