Goodell mentions possibility of London Super Bowl

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Are you farging kidding me?


We have great stadiums in this country (like the Linc) that will never get a Super Bowl, but Roger's talking about taking one overseas?  That's farging ridiculous.

[PhillyGirl]

Same exact thought I had as SOON as I read your thread title.

I am so sick of this expanding the farging league bullshtein. NFL Europe didn't work, NBA overseas bullshtein doesn't work.

Keep it HERE where the fans have MADE THE LEAGUE FOR YOU!

I can't really get behind the outright indignancy at this point, because actual fans don't really get to see the Superbowl even if it's in their own backyards.  That said, I think it's an idea that borders on retarded, and I don't see it happening anytime soon.

That's the only reason why I'm not completely outraged about this.  Super Bowl tickets are completely out of reach for the average joe.....like me.  So it's not like an opportunity is being taken away from me. 

I still think it's a bad idea but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.  The game will look the same on my tv no matter where it's played.  The one thing that might be awesome about it is that since London is like 5 or 6 hours ahead of us, the game would probably be starting somewhere around 3pm est instead of coming on at "prime time" which means I can get drunk, watch the game and still get to bed at a decent hour........which technically means I'll be gaining sleep over it.

the 30 thousand eagles fans in all tell stadium say

You have reason to complain igy.  But that's only because there is no Amtrak running from DC to London. 

[Feva]

The only thing that could be worse than watching my team lose the Super Bowl is knowing that I would have traveled all the way to London to see it happen.

Watching the Eagles lose the SB in London>>>>>>>>>>infinity>>>>>>>>>>>>>Watching the Eagles lose the SB in Jacksonville, FL.

so the only factor for US cities in getting the Super Bowl is good weather, yet they would think about having it in london.  we todd did.

[MDS]

the game would start at 1000 london time if the superbowl was there. goodell is probably just expounding on some ideas.

hey, heres an idea: move the pro bowl to london. the euros get to see the all the stars, the game means nothing, everyone wins.

[SunMo]

you already have players that don't want to go to paradise and play...if you move the game to somewhere with permanent cloud cover there is a good chance matt schoebel will get significant playing time

Only if Reid starts losing NFC Championship Games and thus coaching Pro Bowls again.

[Diomedes]

Fine with me.  Have it in Baghdad for all I care.

[Munson]

Wait....so a city like Philly can't get a super bowl becausue of "bad weather"...since when the hell does London have great weather in February??
