Unless the NFL is going to build an entire host of European teams to form a division or conference, I really think it would be a terrible idea to put a team in London. The travel time is just completely unreasonable to expect an entire league to have to adjust to. And I really don't believe in special scheduling for road trips and the like, because then they would be at a competitive advantage or disadvantage with the rest of the league and that is simply not right.

While there may be some significant money involved somehow, I just don't see why the other NFL teams would really want to deal with all the issues involved. If the NFL was really interested in expanding to foreign markets, why don't we just say screw the CFL and start putting teams in Canada or Mexico. At least then the new teams wouldn't be an entire ocean away.
