London getting a 3rd game in 2014

Just out of interest, what do you guys think of International Series games, and non American NFL fans in general?

 

I'm a UK based Panther and think it's great that people over here get to see live games, but I reckon I'd be pretty annoyed if the shoe was on the other foot.

nothing wrong with it, but for a team to lose a regular season home game is pretty lame. also, if they're going to do it, expand beyond London

It's not a big deal to me at all until it's the Panthers losing a home game.

I remember a Cowboys vs. Raiders preseason game in Mexico City about 10 years ago.

If international games didn't count but had an emphasis on letting the big names play, it would be easier to swallow than losing a regular season home game. (until said "big name" player is injured in a game that doesn't count)

I seem to remember an SF-ARZ RS game in Mexico City about 10 years ago.

 

As far as one of the games, people seem to think it'll be the 9ers-Raiders in one of those games, that way the league won't have to deal with any potential fan violence. There was an incident a couple years back that prompted the end of SF-OAK preseason games

Does anyone want to help end our preseason series with the Steelers?

What surprised me about the games in Mexico is how much they understand the game. I remember them booing a bad call without mercy.

I can't tell you how many Aussie NFL fans I've met. I can understand the NFL being hesitant to put a game there, with the enormous time difference and being a completely different season in the land down under. But there's a goldmine if/when they do.

One of the prime time networks would have to take care of it. It would be an 11:30am start in a Melbourne/Sydney game.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
