Football in London? Good/bad?

[NEPat]

I say the Fins win this game. I think they'll be pumped up for it in a new place, lots of new fans, they'll play a loose game. I think the Giants might be a little guilty of looking forward to their bye week and thinking this will be an easy win.

As for having games overseas, count me out. I hope this is just a one time thing, but I know it won't be. Expanding internationally makes sense for basketball and baseball, not so much for football.

Show me a clip where the fans of a team are attacking the opposing teams players with sticks and glass bottles. I don't have to be at a SD/Oak game to know that didn't happen. I'm talking about a riot, not 2 drunk guys fighting in the parking lot.

You do know that is a minority right and not every fan of "soccer" likes a fight? Considering how gigantic the game is globaly you want to bring it down with a tiny % of idiots. I'm not for one second saying it doesn't go on, it does. You have your Ultras in Italy and Turkey who'll fight and you have your little groups in England who'll fight. These idiots are a tiny, tiny percentage of "soccer" fans and the majority of fans will go to a game, watch a game and come home from a game just like you or any other person going to watch a game of their chosen sport/s.

Damn aqwaaaaahhhh...you only give me 38 minutes to respond! Jeez. Why do you get so butt-hurt over trash talking? You talk like a pathetic friend that found out his buddies talk about him behind his back. You're so emo!

Because you're making a great player and tremendous, classy person off the field look like a school yard punk. That's why I'm pissed. Chris doesn't trash his former team unlike another former Dolphins wide receiver. He paid his respects to the team that gave him his oppertunity, unlike the other punk who was extremely ungrateful.

I'm emo? HAHA! Now I've seen it all. I better go write music about how I hate my father while wearing my drapped black wardrobe.

How am I making him a schoolyard punk? I didnt say ANYTHING. I was commenting on the london issue then you hijack the thread...once again...talking about my sig...which I didnt mention in this thread. And yes it is looking pretty drab for you with that WA weather and your teams record. Embrace the emo aqwaaaaahhhh. You are the appitomy of the term.

I'm really excited about this game. There's a 26 foot Jason Taylor robot playing. It's gonna be cool! :rocker:

Yeah that's what I thought. My deepest sympathies for the fins that they are now being supported by fans like this guy (sarcastic tone). Cant even respond within 38 minutes. Seriously man...chill out. Dont get pissed at me cuz your s**tty team traded away one of your best players. Sawwy! Muahahahahahahaahahhhhhh!!!

I'm just saying, you're making a very classy player look like a punk by giving him a quote that trashes his former team. He never said that, you should'nt quote him on something he didn't say, pal.

Epitome, not appitomy.

This is the internet...not church. We talk trash. GET OVER IT! Can't you see that I am being facetious? If I could make a thought bubble instead of quotations I would have done it. Again...GET OVER IT!

Sorry, I didn't realize that I was dealing with the spelling police. If you want to correct someone then maybe you should be a shining example of literary excellence.

Opportunity, not oppertunity...

It really irks me that Kraft is one of the people pushing for this international stuff.

It bothers me too, I always thought of Mr. Kraft as one of us (being a fan), and he seemed to run the football club with best interests towards the fans, but this is a terrible idea.....

I hear ya but an MB without akwaaaahhh wouldn't be as fun. Everybody needs an ignorant punching bag to make themselves feel better. Gotta give it to the guy though. He takes a beating nearly every day. For that I give him just a little dose of

I guess I just take it a little more serious then you. You're making a very classy player look like a punk, show some maturity.

Since when does a person on an MB really personify an NFL player to who he really is or what he really thinks? You are taking this waaaaaay too seriously. Like I said...get over it! Get over the emo crap! Be a man! Grow some cohones! Pay your bets!(You know what im saying patriotspride) Follow a decent team! Say something that makes sense! I used to think that everyone just picks on you but now I know why. THIS IS A NO EMO ZONE. Take your whining back to the fh MB.:bricks:

And there reads the bandwagon statement. "Guess I better root for another team because mine's not winning" That's called being a band wagon fan, exactly what you are. I bet you didn't even know who Chris Chambers was before he got traded to SD.

And again, show some maturity, act like you're older than a 12 year old.

Its called **** talking. You are taking my comments way too literally...AGAIN. I hope you never stray from the fins so you don't wander over to rooting for my team. And yes I always knew who "DUB C" was . Call me a bandwagon fan? Been following them for about 10 years. I grew up and still live in SD. You're in WA. Did you jump on back in '00 when they actually had a decent season? (and couldn't manage to put up a single point in the playoff game in oak ) Or did your love for tunafish sandwiches produce the desire to follow the porpoises?

Yeah, I'm a band wagon fan rooting for an 0-7 team.

What can you tell me about Chambers? What does he excell at? What are his strengths? What is his kryptonite?

 

[Gumby]

Look I dont have a problem playing games outside of country per se. But what I do have a problem with is:

Playing REGULAR SEASON or GOD FORBID POSTSEASON games

1. AWAY FROM A TEAM'S HOME STADIUM.
2. A minmum of 6 and up to 9 Time Zones away from teams' home & their fan base.

Just to demonstrate the most extreme case for complaint #2:
if they did do a SB in England; when exactly would they play it. To play at the typical 7-8pm time EST; they would have to start the game between midnight and 2 in the morning. Exactly how do they fill up Webley with any kind of crowd noise unless they put STARBUCKS on tap in each and every seat?????

The jet lag and schedule disruption of flying BOTH TEAMS now especially in the middle of the season is unfair to make only 2 teams in league suffer it. If you only did it in WEEK 1; maybe ok

BUT...even in week 1 a team is losing one Home Game. There is no way they get the typical Vegas line 3 pt advantage of a foreign countries crowd knowing when to make crowd noise and possibly could end up haviing majority root for the other team. How stupid is that and clearly unfair to one team out of 32???

So I think you only do it in preseason.

Well im not a DUB C aficionado but I know he is a good healthy receiver. He makes some great catches but also drops quite a few, especially last season. I guess you could call him inconsistent. In his defense he never had a chance to establish a solid relationship with a QB due to the constant rotation on a sub-par team. Now he will have a chance to shine with a good group of talent. Looking forward to tomorrow

I hate that I'm rooting for the same team to win this year's Super Bowl as you. Whatever, I just want Chris to get a ring.
