LOL. Really? Come on. You never seen an upset in sports? Especially when a team plays a man down for 80% of the game after a horrible call?

Ha. Glad you laughed. Just messing around during my least favorite time of the sports year.

First London, then Riyadh? It's a slippery slope, just ask the PGA.

THAT would definitely be the end of my Saints/NFL interest!! I'd watch paint dry before spending time w/any endeavor that involves That country & it's psychopatic prince! The PGA should be put down like a rabid dog, for their involvement!

He looks like he wants to host a SB.

Ignore this. As I said before, it's just standard 'big aspiration for my city' stuff that mayors have to come out with. In addition, it's always timed just as the NFL release international series tickets to suckers, who think they'll get a real team of their own and a SB if they keep 'supporting the cause'

Great, how about you play the English Premier League Championship game over here in the States?

If there was such a thing as an English Premier League Championship game, that might be an option.

The NFL’s aggressive international growth plan could include holding a Super Bowl outside the United States for the first time, commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday.

Goodell has shot down the idea in the past, but he told a fan forum in London that it’s a possibility.

“We’ve always traditionally tried to play a Super Bowl in an NFL city – that was always sort of a reward for the cities that have NFL franchises,” he said in response to a question about moving the neutral-site game internationally. “But things change. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that happens one day.”


Goodell floated the idea as he outlined a plan that could include playing 16 international games every year if the regular season expands to 18 games.

He added that he has “no doubt” that Ireland will host a game soon. He named Rio de Janeiro as a likely new host and said the Jacksonville Jaguars are considering increasing the number of games they play in London during their stadium renovations at home.

This season’s Super Bowl – the 59th edition – will be played in New Orleans. In 2026, Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will host, followed by SoFi Stadium, in Inglewood, California, in 2027. Kansas City’s 25-22 overtime victory over San Francisco in the last Super Bowl was the most-watched program in US television history.

Team owners already have authorized up to eight international games, but Goodell said they could double that number – creating a scenario where all 32 teams could play an international game each year.

The key is expanding the regular season by one game and reducing the number of preseason games to two.……..

Until the NFL puts a team permanently in a foriegn country, the Superbowl is and should continue to be an American event. Its the American dollar that keeps the league in business and the American viewers. The foriegn cash is merely just additional.icing on the cake.

I get the sentiment about the SB being played in U.S. soil, even agree with it, but the foreign money is significant. The NFL awarded The Ticket (Game Pass) to DAZN outside the U.S. and DAZN is in 200 countries. If you add together the NFL fans form the top 10 countries with most fans outside the U.S., you got about 80 million fans. The U.S. still has the gate and concessions, but advertising revenue, TV deals, bars and restaurants, etc are still at play. And that's some really, really thick icing on the cake.
