Jags setting up a move to London?

[italian pat patriot]

it really seems it really could happens but imho in order to 'grow' the NFL should 'only' expand some regular season game overseas...

1 game in MEX
1 game in CAN
2 games in Europe (not only in UK but perhaps incluse also Germany, France, Italy and Spain)
1 game in Asia

that would expand the 'american football' all over expecially when involve Europe and Asia
(of course not Can and Mex where it is allready followed)

a franchise fixed in London would be an upgrade for me personally as i hope to see the Pats play much more often much more near me

IF really a franchise 'has' to moove yes...London is the place...not sure at all that there will create a 'fan base' but, mostly, 'casual fans' coming (also) from other Countries too as it happens today

Robert Kraft has said, only half-jokingly, that the Patriots would be willing to play in London every year . . . as long as they're the away team.

and i can only agree with him

for ME this would be ok

Maybe he's smart enough to not let sunk costs hold him back from something better.

I mean it's Jacksonville. Downtown Rapesburg, Somalia is probably better.

Someone that has amassed a fortune like that typically doesn't do so by making decisions such as sinking millions into the infrastructure of a city and nearby surroundings (plans for nearby shopping, restaurants, bars, a skyline that takes you right to the stadium, etc.) that he or she plans to leave.

Who the hell has ever heard of a London Jaguar? Makes no sense. I mean, who would be a sponsor?

Indeed - it makes no sense, unlike all those lakes in LA and all that jazz in Utah being so appropriately represented...

Agreed.... unless as part of the deal regarding the move to London the NFL guarantees a buyer/new team for the Jacksonville stadium, etc., so Khan Is made whole when he leaves.

I was being sarcastic....but I appreciate everyone assuming I am as stupid as I seem to be.

How about the London Queens? You got the actual Queen plus the band?

[oldrover]

I've taken a while to consider this.

Now... let me provide my in-depth analysis.

Wait, You do know those moves were not actual geographical relocation moves, right? It was simply on paper, you got that complicated part figured out, right? We don't yet beam anybody down where they need to be at any given time and location like Star Trek?

What? was any of that English?

The automaker of the same name headquartered in England.

That was the joke.

I would like to see it because anarchy!

It was be a real pain for players, coaches, etc with wives and kids; harder on them than the players.

Exactly. They have to move to another country and learn a new language and assimilate into a new culture. Plus, learn a new monetary system. Overwhelming.

and all those giants in new york, and the titans in Tennessee,

The Chargers are already demonstrating Goodell's incompetence.

I hate Goodell as much as anyone, but the Chargers move to LA was a wise one from a financial standpoint. Their net worth is going to increase by a ridiculous amount. They are going to make a lot of money. Even if not a single fan attends their games, they still make a lot of money from their move. It’s actually a fascinating case study in the business of sports how the chargers have increased their valuation so much.

They aren’t going anywhere, except to the new LA Stadium once it’s finished.

Well, aren't I a goose.
