NFL London: You Guys Good With This?

There isn't a single reason I can agree with on this. Why the fug is the NFL so hell bent on London? I saw a tweet from a Miami Herald reporter today quoting a league source telling teams in order to be considered for a Super Bowl, they must be willing to give up a home game to play in London.

 

If I'm still a Carolina Panther PSL owner and the Panthers are scheduled to play in London, that's one less game I can attend and what kind of discount do I get for one less game? As a PSL owner, am I due some kind of refund if the team plays a "home" game in London?

 

Where you guys at with this?

The NFL doesn't care about the Panthers or their fans. It's evident during most games by the way they're officiated. We also always seem to be disrespected throughout the media no matter how good or crappy our record is.

Long story short, you will get no discount, and they don't care. You should be angry.

" Based on the league’s research, the NFL has 12 million fans in the U.K. According to the NFL, since 2007, the NFL has improved from being the 18th-most-watched sport on Sky Sports to No. 6. Waller said it’s safe to say that the NFL is the fastest growing sport of Sky’s audience."

From what I understand the Barclay's players don't even do media. This really explains why the NFL is being embraced by Europe.

The real fun? Have some preseason games over in Japan. It would be hilarious after the first game ends and the crowd is completely silent and staying in their seats until the players exit

They used to have preseason games in Japan. Not sure why they stopped, but I remember the players absolutely hating the playing surface.

You'd be charged one game less, since it's not a game you can't attend. Otherwise, they'd be playing to empty seats in London because the tickets are held over here.

 

The bigger question would be the ramifications of the game that gets moved. If it's a high draw game (us-Saints or us-Falcons), what about the money it takes away locally. Does Charlotte get reimbursed? Hotels, restaurants, cabs?

Just stop. You sound so pathetic when you say things like that.

If you think Charlotte has what it takes to host the SB, then it loses nothing from losing a home game. The economy shouldn't rely on that one game.

 

Goodell is a moron.

 

He's a businessman and brilliant at making money. That's his job. 

 

A team in Toronto or even Mexico City makes more sense. 

 

They're on the list.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
