Rename the team the New England Referies. You wanna talk about a 12th Man for the New England Nine Elevens
and the New England Tuck Rules, it is the refs.
Between that and the Vikings game these things might as well be reffed by Vinny Boombatz.
Yeah, yeah. I know. Seeya next week!
But I dropped the NBA like a bad habit over Donaghy. 25 percent of the league is Tim Donaghy to me.
The game is pro wrestling.
NFL with its "story lines" and "QBs draw ratings and are the stars" and argument in court over SpyGate,
is this even a legitimate sporting league?

Considering Goodell is hell bent on putting a franchise in London and making the NFL a global product, I would say the NFL is quickly becoming like any other corporation, and that's figuring out how to make more money at the expense of everything else.

Oh, they passed that mark a LONG time ago. The NFL is a huge moneymaking corporation.

My point was it's getting worse. Corporations are getting greedier and greedier and the NFL is no different.

I didn't know Jacksonville had committed to playing 3 more home games over there over the next 3 years. At one point the Rams had committed to several London games but they backed out. I'm against any existing team moving over there permanently. I didn't know the Jags owner also owned a soccer team over in England. The Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer owns Manchester United, so there's 2 Florida teams with ties to England. Florida doesn't need 3 football teams, but I'm still against a team moving to London. Too many hurdles to overcome.
