For some reason, the Rams are playing the 49ers during the 2018 season in China.

There's a burgeoning market of young 20-somethings in China with a lot of money to throw around and not nearly as much disdain for Western culture as their parents.  The NFL looks at that and their jaw hangs open, drooling while their eyes turn into big green dollar signs.

While the logistics of actually expanding into China would be beyond nightmarish (they'd almost certainly have to create a different league), it would be negligent for the NFL to not even test the waters to see if there's an interest in the product.

Probably considered a home game for the Rams and something they had to agree to do as part of the approval to move to LA. 

There's a HUGE Chinese community in SF so I wouldn't be surprised to learn they are the most popular team in China.

I hope the Olympics go off without major incident and the Panthers finally take their swing at the international series if/when the Brazil hosting rumors finally happen.

I don't think I would go to Brazil at the moment. Not sure how Zika would impact that possibility either.

The United States is now actually on the warning list of international travel destinations.  If the Olympics can be pulled off without unmitigated disaster, it's back to game on in Brazil, eventually.  We'll see in about 8 weeks.

I'm not concerned about a warning list put out by governments or traveling to a metro area to be gunned down by some crazies, i'm talking about mosquitos man.

Yes and if the many thousands going there next month live normal lives and have normal babies going forward as will likely be the case, that will and should make/break the litmus test of concern.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
