Super Bowl Heading To London?

[Kevin Greene]

The NFL has had 'substantive talks' with officials in London about holding the Super Bowl in the city, a senior league official has told BBC Sport. While commissioner Roger Goodell has previously admitted an interest in bringing the game to London, this is the first confirmation of discussions.

"We've spoken on what it would take to host and for us to bring it over," said events vice-president Frank Supovitz.

"The city has all the facilities needed, and in great quantity."

Supovitz was talking in New York City where the NFL Draft will take place this weekend.

"We have had very substantive conversations with the city of London. We've got to the point of exploring the bid document," he added.

Effin Goodell.

Tell London we will let them have the SuperBowl in 2012 if they let us host the Olympics that year. Even swap.

So Charlotte can't host a Super Bowl because it might be cold, but London is a perfect fit for the Super Bowl??

This is the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard, and Roger Goodell should be fired before this comes to fruition.

I'm all for spreading the nfl love but hosting the superbowl there seems like too much.

The superbowl is the biggest unofficial holiday america has, if they try and go through with it I'm writing my congressman!!!!

Where did Goodell say we can't have one because it will be too cold?

And yes, he had better be fired if he tries to pull that sh*t.
