I know what you are saying but it won't work. Time zone issues. The big money comes from tv and ads. It is 7 hours difference between London and the Left Coast. A game that can not begin any earlier than 7 pm in London would start at Noon in LA. Networks want the game to be in prime time. In order to do that they would be playing in the wee hours of the morning in London.

It would be even worse Down Under. With the International Date Line they would have to play the game yesterday in order for us to see it tomorrow. [grin1]

It may be an international event, but it's still an American sport's championship so it belongs on American soil. Why take $$ away from a US venue/town?

As such profits are their bottom line. Player conduct, SB locations, etc. are all just factors that influence how much money the league makes. What country/city they award the SB to is largely a business decision.

the superbowl location needs to have access to good golf courses that have to give permission for free golf lol.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Perhaps it should be called the money bowl. I recall the first two SB's and watching with much excitement. I and no other thought the Jets would ever defeat the Colts. Sense we have seen Staubach, and Bradshaw, and Montana . As well as Brady, and Aikman, and Favre. Halftime shows are now a full time business. I've watched every SB game that has been played. Love to see GB win their 5th. 😄

Moving the SB to anywhere outside the US is a horrendous idea. I wouldn't even like to see it in Hawaii or Puerto Rico.

Leave it in the continental US, period.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Zero2Cool (23h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (25-Apr) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.
