2013 NFL Season Thread

[TCO]

I think 3 London games is more than enough. They really need to start going elsewhere in Europe with these games. Wembley is great but I'm sure a game in Germany would be absolutely electric. Dan Rooney was the American ambassador over here too so I'd love to see them come play at the Aviva or Croke Park sometime, would be amazing.

Can't see myself going to a London game again unless it's the Giants anyway.

I feel especially bad for returners who have Pro Bowl related bonuses in their contracts, taking them out is just something that nobody wants to see.

[Cactus Drags]

Shit, Falcons/Bears, Jags/Cowboys, Raiders/anyone and I'll be seriously out of pocket.

[Maxx]

That's the only way the Cowboys will ever play over there, they'll never give up a home game. I hope it does happen so AD gets to see them.

[FLiam]

Anybody think there's a serious possibility of a London franchise?

[livid]

Yes, you are.There's still some serious logistical issues with having a franchise in London. Until it reaches the point where they can expand by a few teams over there then I don't think it'll actually happen.

Then again, with Goodell, who knows.

[Cactus Drags]

I just can't see how they'll ever get past the logistics of it all. Surely if they're looking to expand international interest, bringing back NFL Europe would be the simplest solution.

[livid]

That's why I said I can't see it until they expand to more than just London over there. If they have multiple teams over then teams can just have extended road trips to play on either side and then spend the majority of the season playing on their continent. Wouldn't be perfect but really the only way I can see it working.

It's just posturing by Goodell to make sure current NFL cities suck up to them and give them what they want.

"Oh, stadium dispute? Well we have open spots in LA as well as London so I guess you're losing your team."

I'm MOSTLY posting here to annoy Matt by replying to another "American Sports Thread."

But I'm also posting in here to say that I plan on going to a Cowboys home game some time next season. However, if Dallas are playing in London... Hmmm...

[Meacon Keaton]

You could stay with Maxx!

[Maxx]

You absolutely should stay with Maxx! I will obviously be attending the game with you.

Things go from bad to worse for Aldon Smith.

The league passed a ruling where a team could pretty much be forced to host Hard Knocks.

The league still will ask for volunteers. If one is not forthcoming, a team will be appointed. All organizations will be eligible with the exception of those that have made the playoffs in at least one of the last two seasons and those teams that have participated in the previous 10 seasons.

This is good, because Hard Knocks is freakin' great.

[HC]

I think everyone would watch the Pats on Hard Knocks featuring grumpy grandpa Belichick, pretty boy Brady, and frat boy Gronkowski. Ratings!

I have a horrible feeling Chicago are going to give the Giants their first win.

I don't see the Giants winning a game until Week 10 vs. Oakland, to be honest.

Onlyl if Pryor's out.

[Your Mom]

Man these NFL Network guys are lame. Havent really watched their pre game before. Anyway go Bears and such. Lets do this!

Eli Manning is so bad that Brandon Weeden is watching game film saying "damn, that's some really bad quarterbacking".

[HC]

Eli Manning is so bad that Kellen Moore is watching game film saying "damn, that's some really bad quarterbacking".

[Plubby]

I think the Giants should trade for Kellen Moore. He could teach Eli a thing or two about how to make good passes to the right team.
