Forgetting the logistics nightmare for a sec...it's not their game!! There are far more soccer fans than there are american football fans. I understand that a lot of people go see the game in London every year, but so what?? It';s because it's new and diffrent. Putting a team in London would only make it less of a novelty. If enough people in Europe wanted american football NFL Europe would still exist. Figure out other ways to make more money. How about a chain of retail stores a la WB and Disney. As Mike Ditka would say...STOP IT!!!

Florio, you actually support this ludicrous idea of moving a team permanently to London? And here I thought you were a bright, savvy gentleman. This idea is so ridiculous in its nature and flawed in its concept.

Like Scott said. If west coast teams have to travel with a time difference of 7-8 hours, then that's bs. How could you expect a team to be at their best playing a game at 3 am? Roger needs to stop trying to transform the game. IT'S NOT BROKE ROGER! PUT THE F'N RULE BOOK AND PENCIL DOWN AND LET THEM PLAY FOOTBALL!!!

We'll glady clock mega frequent flyer miles in order to skull-drag you bums up and down the Gridiron in MMA fashion.

Why not help them start a league of their own rather than having teams constantly fly back and forth to England? There's plenty of other cities in the USA who would love teams. Not for this at all, but I think Goodell is powerhungry and wants to be remembered. Bigger is not always better.

As a Falcons fan I would love to see the Saints moved to London.

Yes...as long as it's the Raiders

We know teams struggle having to fly 3 times zones....London is WAY too far away. Sorry! Players drafted by a London team would complain as well about the inconvienace. I don't see it

If they want to make a team there, do NOT move anyone. Create an expansion team just like Houston and Cleveland and Jacksonville. People are bound to be more energetic about a "home-built" team than an import. I guess they'd be in the AFC or NFC FAR east division?
