London Issues


The NFL has ben playing games in London since 2007. It seems like they are determined to have a team there full-time eventually.

Former Giants great Osi Umenyiora is their point man there. He also does some broadcasting work for the BBC with a week in review show and a Sunday game preview.

The league is determined to make it happen in spite of all the push back. Any team based there would face a brutal travel schedule to away games, especially those on the west coast. Teams making the trip to London would also need to deal with jet lag.

The travel is a major hurdle. Will it effect the quality of the games? The NFL is probably ok with having it suffer because of the potential revenue stream.
