OT: NFL to export classies- We're off the hook! - New England Patriots Forums

***MoLewisrocks*** · 01-26-2008, 09:01 PM

Drew Brees and the NO Saints will host the SD Superclassies in London (at Wimbley) on October 26th. It will be week 8 for the classies and they will have their bye week in week 9. LdT will love this trip, I could even see him deciding to emigrate one day.

Thank God. The Sillynannies vs. the Superclassies. A match-up for the ages.

I feel bad for David Patten.

An outstanding decision. New Orleans seems like a perfect region of the country to strip 1/8 of their football revenue and export it to Europe.

They could have at least sent them to the Netherlands to see a flood prevention system that works...

I'd love for New England to go play over there...

during a rebuilding year, probably 2018.

Now we have San Diego's excuse for next year.................

Wow, that's a long haul for SD. For real, almost twice as far as it would be for NE or NYG/NYJ.

Oh well.

***Deus Irae*** · 01-26-2008, 10:54 PM

Well, San Diego really takes it in the shorts on this one.

I would be surprised if there wasn't a revenue sharing "exception" for the teams that do this, or some other way to help them break even, if they don't just from selling out Wembley.

I mean, its not like the owners are doing this to each other as punishment.
