This is Just Plain Wrong
October 16th, 2007 | by Craig |An American Super Bowl in London?
“There s a great deal of interest in holding a Super Bowl in London ” Goodell told reporters Monday. “So we ll be looking at that.”
The commissioner said London s new Wembley Stadium would make a great candidate for pro football s biggest matchup given the enthusiasm overseas for the game.
This is Just Plain Wrong on so many levels, I can’t even begin . . .

Oh, I can definitely begin, and sally forth from there, but I don’t think you’d want me to here. Suffice to say that I think Goodell better check with his cook and find out exactly what kind of mushrooms made it into that Vienesse Stroganoff …

Why not make it an even trade . . . We’ll play the SB over there and they can have the British Open played in Coeur d’Alene.

They can play it in London … Americans can still sit in front of their TV’s and get drunk. It’s virtual reality, after all.

Enthusiasm overseas? Is that why NFL Europe folded?

Somehow, I doubt the Brits’ll be willing to pay 1000 Pounds Sterling (or around $1500US) for a ticket to see two teams they don’t have an interest in. Unless that’s what Goodell is gouging them for the regular season game next year. Once they finds out just how bad the Giants and Dolphins are, the English sports fan will go mad. And we all know about EnglisH soccer fans.
Of course, if we really wanted to get back at the Brits, we’d send the Cardinals.
(Full disclosure: I live in Mesa, AZ. When they play the Super Bowl in Glendale in February, it will be the first *professional* football game played in this state in 12 years — since the Cowboys and Steelers hooked up in Super bowl XXX — which sounds more like a dirty movie than a sporting event. Although to Steeler fans, it *was* a dirty movie: Cowboys 27, Steelers 17.)
