Yeah that was one of 3 games in London this yr. At the end they said the league wants to get it to about every other week. I wonder if Jax will play 4 of those.

I am moving around a few games.

9ers Jax.

I am watching online.

I have seen Giants, GB and NO in the stands so far.

Home teams make the choice of what they wear.

A friend of Harbs is going nowhere.

Cle with the worst record in the div gets KC with the best in theirs. Normally I hear about how the Ravens get screwed but nothing about this game. I get why they got this game btw.

There ois a purpose for homefield advantage.

That is the best tackle since the Willis tackle at Miss.

I got the almost 9 hr nighttime from a website. And yes it would be monday morning much like a team returning from a SNF game.

A team would leave for London right after their last game. Take the Ravens as an example. They play at the ATM at 1pm. The game is done say 4:15. They do the lockerroom thing with interviews showers and the like. They board a bus at say 6:30 for BWI. Equipment they would need could have been sent out Sat with a crew to set up for them. They are taking off by 7:15pm. They would be landing about 4am. On the flight they can do a lot of the film work and prep. The players could catch some sleep. Have them sleep in until say noon and then get treatment and other Monday responsibilities. Tue could be their free day like here. Wed they start putting the gameplan in and things stay generally on schedule the rest of the way. The Jags would be pretty much the same on their trip. I don't see it right away but in time I do agree there would be 2 teams minimum. The TV money is just to large not to do it. From there I see south america.

What part of a training facility in London for visiting teams was difficult to grasp. Also what part of a training facility over here for the Jags when they play in the states was hard to understand?

There was no NFL then. TR changed college football I think in 1902.

In a perfect world there would be no politics in it. That world doesn't exist. Teddy Roosevelt over 100 yrs ago from the Oval Office applied presure to change the game. It is what it is.

He has been put on point by the owners to go get the cash. Agreed.

You are as correct on that as you are on Kahn owning the United. Kahn has little ties to the US. The Jags is undervalued in Jax. A team will have to bite the bullet for the owners to make their Euro money and Kahn is the one to do it. He has agreed to play 4 home games there.

It is done. Yes it is about the money. I just accept it for what it is.

I have been talking about the fall for a while. It starts with the pricing. Now they are ruining the game with bad rules.

I posted this elsewhere.

It is a check. They are being paid to advertise.
