nfl and cfl have an agreement still for no canada teams and i cant imagine nflpa signing off on mexico city. london might be an option.......It seems like San Diego is really crabby at the Chargers organization and doesn't want them back (at least in the near future). I'm thinking St. Louis wouldn't be on the top of the list either, considering they've failed the NFL twice already.
It's probably more likely they give a city like Mexico City or Toronto a try.

I don't know if the time difference would affect tv ratings. You could just play it at 6 PM London time and the game would start at 1 EST just like all the other games.Mexico City HAS to be a better option than London. The time difference would kill TV ratings and the jetlag would magnify poor play. Besides, the Jags seem to have the inside path to London.

And does anyone know if the early London game does better than the 1 PM games? Since it's the only game on at the time?
kroenke owns the whole complex surrounding the stadium and the nfl network is moving its operations there, crowds or not he is going to make money.....spanos is treading water holding cement blocksSo which owner do you guys think is shitting his pants more?
Kroenke, who is actually funding the $3 billion dollar project but has 50+ years history in LA, including a move away from there because support was dwindling.
or Spanos, who has few fans outside of San Diego, is probably not even the top 5 favorite team in LA, and even though he tarps seats in a soccer stadium he can't fill it up. Returning to SD is not an option for him, as most SD fans would still not break their wallets out if he's still the owner.
My guess is Spanos. Kroenke could flush 3 billion down the toilet and still be wealthy. Spanos is a laughing stock and his NFL team is about 90% of his wealth.

It's a logistical mess no matter how the divisions are set up.If the Chargers move to London, that will throw a wrench in NFL divisional alignment. Chargers would need to be in the East. Miami would have to move to the South and Houston or Indy would have to move to the West.

yeah miami isnt moving....probably have to do something akin to the montreal/miami mlb franchise trade to keep chargers on the west coast if spanos wanted a london teamRight, but it would certainly be high priority for all involved to minimize trips from the UK to the US west coast and vice versa.
And you can bet MIA is going to throw a fit if they get outed from their long-standing division rivalries.
Mexico City is the same as London. A stupid move. Players won't want to move to either.It seems like San Diego is really crabby at the Chargers organization and doesn't want them back (at least in the near future). I'm thinking St. Louis wouldn't be on the top of the list either, considering they've failed the NFL twice already.
