Seems wierd......Falcons beatin the Lions 14-0 in Wembley stadium. Not sure if I like the idea of football in London England. Looks like someday there will be a team there! At least thats what I think the comish wants. For some unknnown reason I envision it being our Rams. The London Rams?? Could our team end up in England? :L

Playing in London is asinine! No teams want to travel there, it screws you up for days!
They are talking about playing 5 games there next year. I cant even imagine how much it cost to ship everyone, equipment and who knows what else over there. It also takes away a home game for one team, like it did the year the Rams went.

Hopefully the people will get what they want with Roger getting an early termination or resignation.

Sunday morning football is the norm on the West coast. Early games start at 10am every week.

As far as a London team, that seems completely illogical. Every team that plays there will be extremely jet-lagged, and the home team will be extremely jet-lagged on every road game in the US. The travel costs will be ridiculous. TV revenue will be hurt if this 9:30AM EST is the standard game time, making it 6:30AM on the west coast.

If they want to experiment with a foreign team, try Canada first.

I liked the 10am games when I lived in San Diego. Roll out of bed and down to Seau's (sports bar) in time for the game to start...
