"After seeing fans jam London's Wembley Stadium to watch the NFL the past two years, the league is considering adding a second regular-season game overseas in time for the 2010 season (Sportsline)."
You have no idea how much this shit pisses me off. Listen, football is not going to work in Europe. Sure they might go to a game to see what all the fuss is about, but they already tried a league there and it failed miserably. Football is an American sport (and maybe Canada). It does not need to be made international to survive. On top of all that this sucks for players/teams. It is exhausting having to fly to Europe to play a football game, and I think it is really unfair for any team that has to do it.
To make matter worse they are talking about extending the season a couple more games. The NFL is perfect the way it is (other then rookie salaries). They have the best playoff system, a season in which every game matters (unlike NHL, NBA, MLB), and a huge fan base. Don't fuck it up trying to squeeze every penny out of it. be happy with with you got...
