That's like the week before the Saints play there right?...

Road Trip!

That's right. Saints play in London on October 26th. That would be a great vacation: (Germany and Barcelona with the Hornets and London with the Saints).

I guess this is the wave of the future. All the US sports branching out. I wonder what the endgame is going to be. Do they eventually want to expand the league out there or are they just trying to hit a largely untapped fan base?

The NBA has been playing pre-season games in Europe for ages. And yes they do eventually want to expand there.
