Def a possibility, tho I think the crowds would be there for a while. Even though they'd be called London it'd basically be a team for Europe so the potential fan base is huge, big NFL following in Germany as well for instance. The game/support is growing year by year in the UK alone. There'd be so many fans of the away team going as well, especially for teams like the Fins who have a big following over here. If it's purely about selling tickets it makes sense but there's so much more involved than that I'm not buying into itPlus, once the novelty of having maybe a handful of games is replaced by a permanent team I am sure support will falter as well. The NFL is counting on the interest for a novelty to translate directly to a permanent solution.
Chargers need to go back to San Diego where they belong. Kick out the Spanos family, get new ownership so the city will take them back.
I cant speak for anyone else, but I certainly enjoy watching rivalry games in the NFL. So you may have to change your point to no one but one really cares
Not sure how many guys will want to play for a London team. They'd be losing a lot of money and the travel would be grueling.
Good question!How do you have two hall of fame QB's and still have zero success?
I said BOTH...............Fouts is already in isnt he?Good question!
That's why Ive always been against the so-called "tank".
The chargers have had TWO franchise QBs that never got to the super Bowl, and they BOTH will probably end up in the HOF.
Their only appearance in the SB came with a journeyman QB..........Humphries.
London SillienanniesThere would HAVE to be a name change to get the London NFL fans to embrace their team.
The London Redcoats?
The British Queens?
London Bangers?
Royals? Monarchs?
That's too many teams. Maybe 6 like we do now.
Not that easy. London will attract no marquee players. Why would a free agent go there when he won't be taxed as high nor will the cost of living be what it is in London? Any team there will try and compete with lower tier FAs and what they can draft.
The London Preambuiltories or just "The Prams" for short.London Sillienannies
It probably will be crowds for the newness but like always if you cannot field a competitive team the fans will stay home in the long run.Def a possibility, tho I think the crowds would be there for a while.
