QuoteThe Brand Republic reports the NFL has contacted potential sponsors about staging one of its games at the new Wembley Stadium in London in 2006. NFL Europe has provisionally booked Wembley Stadium for next October, five months after it is officially due to open. The game is likely to involve two of the East Coast teams, with the New York Giants a primary target.

making the giants give up a home game will even out them having an extra one this year. at the same time, would it be fair to any team to take away a legit home game and make it a neurtal game?
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I think the Cards would be happy to, as long as it was in Mexico  :-D
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

the easy solution

make it a 17 game schedule (trim preseason to 3). every team gets 1 neutral site game. and no one bitches. (well some will. but most wont, about this anyway)

Not really an even swap-they're wrong; we're right.

Sorry there's no way the Eagles will get a game over there.  The last thing that the world needs is volatile Eagles fans and hooligan soccer fans drinking in the same bars.

itll probably be giants/colts, if they are set on getting a stupid ny team over there.

Eli vs. Peyton...

It'll probably be the Bucs because their owner, the angry amish midget dude, owns the soccer team.
