Super Bowl Heading To London?

[Nicbsbll2]

Tell London we will let them have the SuperBowl in 2012 if they let us host the Olympics that year. Even swap.

Better yet, tell them we will swap the Super Bowl for the UEFA Champions League championship game and see if they go for it. I figure those two events are about on par with each other.

Where did Goodell say we can't have one because it will be too cold?

And yes, he had better be fired if he tries to pull that sh*t.

IDK if he did, but the speculation I've heard is because the climate is too unpredictable (it might be cold) and they don't want that for the game. Which is why the Super Bowl is always played in a warm climate (Miami/Arizona/Dallas) or in a dome (Detriot).

This is the "change" you guys wanted so deal with it.

I never wanted any sort of change. I knew the moment Goodell came into office he was going to take the NFL and flush it down the crapper.

i think the only games outside north america should be pre-season ones.

Face value. You send me a t-shirt, program, any freebies you get.

Roger, the NFL will never be as big as soccer is in the rest of the world. Stop trying.

I heard the interview on NFL Sirius and it is a long way from being consumated. They are exploring business models and similar issues so that is why they are looking at bids. As far as will it get done anytime soon, I don't think in the next 3 or 4 years.

Thats EXACTLY what he is trying to achieve, and while i hate soccer, im also a realist, and what you say is absolutely correct, ESPECIALLY when it has the same name but completely different rules. Thats y we call soccer soccer here and not football, but we're going to take it over there give it the name "AMERICAN" football and see how they take to it?

THEY WONT TAKE TO IT, they dont play it in high school or middle school the fugin moron.

Will be the 1st Super Bowl I will not have watched...no way in hell, I don't care if the Panthers are in it vs the Browns and Cleveland's entire starting offense and defense are out of the game with injuries.

[Fox007]

I hope that doesn't happen, football is our sport........

Terrible idea.

[panthersphan]

F That....seriously...one game a year is enough as it is....give me a break Goodell

How is a Super Bowl in London that different from a Super Bowl in Houston for the millions watching on TV?

The only thing it will affect are the folks going to the game. Frankly the flight and hotel seem reasonable considering a scalped ticket is going for 2 grand alone.

I think it would be great to go to the Superbowl and see London. Kills 2 birds with one stone.
