The NFL is obsessed with expanding the top line, which is fine, but ultimately they're going to have to focus a bit on the quality of the product. It is getting worse.

Don't agree. The NFL has had a lot more exciting games in the recent history; Excitement sells product.

Actually the NFL needs a new source of players since many parents here don't want their kids scrambling their brains in youth football. Edited by PromoTheRobot

That excitement is killed by Officials not knowing the rules of the game.

Not knowing what is a catch.

Not knowing what is or is not a penalty.

The constant discussions on whether a play stands or if a penalty actually happened.

 

But kid you not as long as people watch the NFL does not care.

 

this thread should read, "Owners approve NFL making more money"

This marks an important step in our long-term international growth. Fans in the UK have responded incredibly well to the regular-season games we have played in London since 2007. They have demanded more NFL games, and we have worked to accommodate them. We think it's time to expand our International Series to other countries and respond to the growing interest in our game not only in the UK, but elsewhere around the world.

Thank you Mr. Goodell - any chance you can spend some coin on remedial rules clinics for the ref's?

The international series has been an unmitigated disaster. Fun fact, less than half the countries in the world (probably even less than 25%) use the formal system of measurement the English System. Basically its us, the Brits, a few warlord governed African nations, and probably that old limey Penile colony down south founded by people to dumb to be Brits. The rest of the backwards world uses Celsius. The point is, that foreigners and other culturally disadvantaged peoples cannot properly visualize the game of football. Yards have no meaning to them (they don't even call them yards in Europe, instead calling them gardens for some ass in nine reason). Its like if I told you to run 9 meters and then do a cute little button hook with a cross stitch, you would be confused as all hell? How far is that? 2 yards, 10 yards, half a mile??? We just can't visualize it.

 

Given this context, its absolutely no surprise that the Canada series was parsley attended and it was so quiet you could hear a poutine drop. Total flop. The part that drives me crazy is that these corporate eggheads keep pitching this idea as if its something new when they've been playing the Pro Bowl in Hawaii forever!!!! 30 years of foreign Pro Bowls and what are the results? Probably cancelling the damn game sometime soon due to lack of interest. Granite, maybe we don't have Polamalulu and Manati Teo without Hawaii pro bowl, but when we're talking about growing the game, we should be aiming higher than a just two guys, their families, and their girlfriend's families.

Per source, NFL well along in process on Mexico City, trying to solve a logistics issue. If fixed, they'll play a mid-Nov. '16 game there.

Put the Cheaters in Mexico and make them eat salad with every meal.

 

Salads are rinsed with tap water. Montezuma's revenge.

The Washington Redskins could become the first team to play two NFL games in London in the same season, and in consecutive weeks.
