NFL Game in London likely NYG@Miami

Glad the Skins don't have to play in London, it's a great city, but not exactly a football town. I hope the Giants and Dolphins have jet lag all season after that one, you know we play both of them this coming season.

when gibbs came back in 2004,he wanted to bring grimm to dc then,but the chin would not let the skins talk to him.i'd love to see grimm come to dc,and maybe even be gibbs replacement in 2 years or so!as a head coach,i do'nt think greg williams could have it like grimm seems to!the skins should have never let him go any way.norv turner and marty showed what dunces they were by not even trying to keep him.

From that article:

"Over the next 16 seasons, each of the league's 32 teams will participate in a regular season game outside the United States."

Our day is coming.

No way, the NFL would love to send Mr Snyder to S Korea or something like that, followed up by a game on Thursday.

i hope the giants have to play the skins the next week after they return home.
or since the skins and fins play next year,maybe they will.

If any of you had ever traveled to London from NY - or Washington for that matter -, you'd know that the flight time to London is not all that much more than the flight time to LA or San Diego. The Dolphins are the ones having the more tedious journey here.

The NFL dearly wants to introuduce "American Football" to China. They are thinking of putting on a Pro Bowl game in Beijing if they can get the legal aspects of their contract with Honolulu worked out. And if that happens, look for a regular season game in Beijing sometime soon.

The very obvious and simple simple solution to the "jet lag problem" is to give any team playing overseas a bye in the next week of the season.
