Wembley is a piece of British history, and you could probably sell out a soccer game their every night, so I'm not sure if moving the Jags is the sole intent on Khan ! (I can't even type it without thinking of Captain Kirk screaming it), it's probably a sound business choice, even without the Jags. Of course, having another NFL owner, own the stadium you play 2 games a year in, is something the NFL won't mind. I think it is a little Americancentric view of things, if we only look at this as a NFL move.
If the Concorde was still flying, this might make sense (outside of the increased radiation exposure), but that is still a long trip. The Pats made a three week road trip last year for the Mexico game, and usually ask to play West Coast games in back to back weeks. I can't even imagine the travel lags if you put a team in London. Of course, the London team would have the worst of it, the only logical thing would be for them to play 3 or 4 weeks straight in London, and then 3 to 4 weeks straight in the East Coast, and such. I can't imagine where a London based team would have a regular home and away schedule.
What would be cool, is a Superbowl in London!
