There is talk of the NFL expanded to Europe in the near future. I was surprised too.

If they get one before LA I'm gonna be pissed. (as if they give a crap what I think!)

Tried to get tickets...90,000 seat stadium sold out in under two hours!!
big fan base believe me.

LA is not a good sports town. They would never support an expansion team or transplanted team. Expansion teams lose and LA is too fair weather to support a loser. On top of that, they'd have get through all the typical CA red tape that is involved in building a stadium. It'll never get done.

thats awesome, I didnt know it was that big over there either.
do most ppl understand the rules for the most part or is it mainly like a side show type spectacle?

I think the real thing is to build a stadium near the fanbase, as LA loves a winner...just look at the Lakers and Dodger thru the years/ But you are probably right, i don't think they have the patience to put-up with an expansion team while it grows....spoiled.

Great,
A larger breeding ground for more shit-brainedness. Pretty soon this will be a world populated with uninteresting humans.

Why must we make it even worse? ???

Gee TA, I kinda figured you might be into football, baseball or sports in general since does it consists of mostly highly educated coaches, trainers and yes, even a lot of the players that apply strategy and science along with statistics for each player and team consisting over the course of a season. What me to go on?
BTW, have you figured out whether the little light in the refrigerator stays on when you close the door?
See TA, the above mentioned is seriously waaay beyond you to even come close to criticize. You have no idea what you have got yourself into. Dolt!

What is the purpose of Coaches and why are they always angry? ???
My personal observation and hypothesis is that its just a meme and that has been established and followed year after year. I mean they aren`t actually doing anything, they aren`t the ones chasing the other men and their balls around. Perhaps the Coaches like the role of a Daddy figure so that when the costumes come off in the locker room and the season is over, he can invite them all to the team Christmas Party where each player can bounce up and down on his lap and tug on his Santa beard while his Offensive Coordinator fixes Eggnog Daiquiris for this all male celebration.

People that follow it understand the rules with no problems...most kids do as well since someone will have a copy of john madden football. From what I can see its very much london/ rugby players that follow it (rugby is big in london and the west country)
There will be large parts of the country where people have never seen a game, but put it this way, nearly every male friend I have in london will be able to follow an NFL game, and some have a team they follow. 49ers packers patriots cowboys and dolphins are the popular teams. I support the eagles.
Got to say though this game has been dreadful...only one field goal in 3 quarters so far...yawn

I have this neighbor. He bets on American football...and he is always asking me for tips but I have no clue about American football so....he seems convinced he can make mad quid but I guess every better does.

It wont be like NFL Europe was, the plan is to have a franchise based in London that will play regular season NFL games, not in a separate league. It could work I reckon.

Sounds like the Jets/GB game :(

London was in negotiations to get last years Super Bowl.

Big problem is the timezones. Football is very dependent on tv coverage/ads revenue. Having a team that is 5 hrs ahead of EST would be a nightmare.

I can see all the English snobs dressed up up in suits and ties smoking pipes singing the British fight song.

lol...the british fight song? pray tell what is that?
Dr Chimps, the games would all have to kick off around 6:30 or 7:30 in the evening for it to be viable in the USA. football games here can start as late as 8:15 so i dont think it would be too much of a problem with the east and central based teams. West coast could be a problem.

I got to say I like rugby a lot more, if only because it is ongoing (or more so).

yeah big fan of rugby as well. But as you know its loaded with class prejudices (which i really cant stand), I get tired of rugby fans declaring how much better and more civilised they are than footy fans...even tho i love playing the game...NFL is an easy transition for a lot of rugby fans tho, big hits, fast hard running, and genuine tough nuts that dont roll around at the faintest touch of contact.
