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.

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part.

      This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
