worst idea EVER. even moving the probowl to the week before the SB looks genius compared to this. agreed with everyone that this is an AMERICAN game and should be kept as such. it really is an unoffical holiday.

and to top it off...how would you work out the time difference? do you want primetime for the local viewers or primetime for america?

normal starting time for the SB: 330P pacific, 530 Central and 630 eastern. that equates to 1130P in london. will that draw a big crowd? so now you have to change the time to cater to the local time. what will that be? 7PM? that would make it at 11AM on the west coast? what a horrible idea....

God I hate Goodell so much.

This is an American sport for American fans. Europe doesn't even have a team. If they did, I might be a little more open, but theres not.

I'm honestly not happy with games being played there at all, your taking away from fans of their teams seeing games and putting more wear on players having to travel so far.

But, this is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever seen

The ProBowl thing is moronic as well. You've just eliminated some of the elite players in the league from participating.

I think this league is being run by squirrels juggling knives.

Goodell's an Idiot.

The USA made the NFL and he wants to take it to a foreign country where they honestly could give a crap next to their Football.

Playing an exhibition game or even a regular season game there is one thing but the biggest Game of the year.

Stupid.

Can't imagine this is going to fly.

 

[Doomsday]

I seriously will boycott all future Super Bowls unless the Cowboys are in it if they move one of them outside the US. Talk about a bunch of BS!

What they should do is move spring training and preseason games over there. Leave the regular season and SB ALONE!

 

[Jimz31]

I'm sick of this "one-world" crap.

It's AMERICAN football....NOT soccer!

You'd get nothing in the stands but a bunch of whistling....they don't even know how to cheer.

In the ESPN article on making the season 1-2 games longer, they had this tid bit:
"One thing the NFL is not doing is considering a Super Bowl in London. Goodell dismissed a report that "substantive talks" with officials in London were held.

"We have never looked at London or Mexico City as a site," he said."

I also personally don't want the season extended, another strike against Goodell with me. But I'll live if it is

Come on, guys.

Think GLOBAL-i-za-tion! :laugh1:

Man, this might be my best shot to get a decently priced ticket!

That said, the Olympics are here in 2012, so the Super Bowl may not even be here for a long time - in which case I may have moved on.

 

[Arch Stanton]

they better have a decent field, I'm not watching a boring, slug-fest in the mud

Unfortunately Wembley's field is going to be dug up as it's in a cr@p state at the moment. For some reason they are having trouble growing grass. It wont be growing too fast end of January beginning of February. Plus they'll be playing the game at the worst time of year for weather ova heah.

As I said earlier this is just plain stoooooopid.
